MenuHi. I've just started the printing and packaging service provider business. I need help and advice to connect to the international market to export.
My company name is NYPrintPack. The website is nypintpack.com
I want to promote my company worldwide and connect to international buyers and importers for my business.

Have a look at chambers of commerce in the countries you want to export to especially those based near you and ask them for help. A fair few trade missions are now virtual.
Hi I have a manufacturing plant in Dubai: ecopack. You can call me to discuss further in details.
Hi. First question is why try to sell internationally when you have a domestic market to go after? Is your local market saturated? Focus on building a strong business from you local market before thinking of exporting. Second - what advantages can you deliver that an international buyer can't get from their local suppliers? I know the print space well (I come from an international marketing background) and there has to be a really compelling reason why anyone would buy from a supplier in another country. Why is your offer better than a printer in Singapore?, Germany? US? Thirdly - I can see you are based in Pakistan but your website implies New York (name, pictures of Manhattan etc) - either open a sales office in New York or avoid trying to confuse customers. Be authentic.
First of all, the Web to Print or Packaging Industry has massive competition in the market. If it started recently, try to provide better service with a lesser competitor price.
Concentrate more on Customer Life Time value (repetitive clients) rather than acquiring new customers.
Understand the local and Industry Leaders the market and their service & price strategies Eg: https://www.moo.com/us/ https://www.newprint.com/
All The Very Best

How can I go about finding a business partner for my startup?
Hello! Aside from the typical website platforms, I would recommend using Twitter's hashtags and user handles. Try following and using the ones that your potential prospect or otherwise ideal partners would be following and start sharing about your work, your progress, and outreach for a potential partner. If possible try to be local when doing so. But obviously, some to use include Startups.co, Basecamp, Inc 500, yesPHX, BetaBulls, MPV, Lean Startup, Lean Methodologies, TechCrunch, etc.Humberto Valle Texas Real Estate Investor, Wholesaler, & Airbnb SuperhostHV

How did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.Ali AhmedAA

You've answered your own question. Reach out to your prospects with the question, such as "How would you...". Ask what people want then give it to them if you can with integrity and thoughtfulness.David InghamDI

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.Ali MaadelatAM

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.Mijael Feldman SabahMF
