Export Marketing Workshops Offered in Three Cities
The Montana Departments of Agriculture and Commerce are
offering three one-and-a-half-day workshops during the coming weeks on
export marketing and logistics.

The workshops have been developed to assist Montana companies that are
current exporters, are in the process of expanding into foreign markets, or
are considering export opportunities.

The workshops will be held in computer labs, offering participants the
opportunity to work directly on aspects of marketing including: export
readiness; identifying export markets and product demand; developing an
export marketing plan; selling to foreign markets; and managing export
sales.

Technical components covered during the workshops will include: the North
America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA); certificates of origin; export
licensing; international commercial trade terms (Incoterms); quoting and
sales contracts; and export documentation.

Two-day advance notice from companies is required. Early registration is
encouraged since space is limited and available on a first-come,
first-served basis.
