CHARACTERISTICS (USA).

USA It is not a homogeneous market, because considering its size and the varied
ethnic and religious composition of its population have resulted in the existence of
many different sub markets or markets, which would argue that there will always be
a niche in which venture.

USA market is highly competitive market, a new exporter must develop marketing
strategies that allow, in addition to highlighting the attributes of your product apart
from the competition.

The consumers: The average American citizen can be qualified as a

person with high level of consumption and always open to trying new
products and experiment. This leads to be demanding, be informed and be
aware of what you consume, even with environmental care. In legal terms it
is well aware of their rights as consumers and makes use of the laws that
protect it. In the case of being harmed, will no doubt bring a lawsuit against
damage caused by poor quality products, and will have institutions that
support it. It is true that the price is a relevant variable in deciding
purchases, but factors such as quality, warranty and after sales service are
equally or more important.
 DEVELOP A REPORT ON THE MOST SUCCESFULL WAY A TO ENTER THE
USA MARKET.

To enter the US market as indirect exporters, it is highly recommended to explore

the market first of suppliers, with the aim to know the market better and gain
experience in the different export processes.

There is no "one" best way to access a market. The best way depends on the
competitive environment, legal environment, degree of urgency, among others. It
has been found that precisely the successful international companies are able to
access different markets in a variety of ways. For example, start from scratch
provides the opportunity to choose all in line with our corporate culture, develop our
own people, but offers very high risks because they have no previous experience
in the market. In contrast, strategic alliances offer great advantages in terms of
market experience, but they have great problems in terms of cultural, commercial
or other integration.
