How We Got Started

I started as a consultant who focused on providing Tariff Classification Expertise based on Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the U.S. (HTSUS) [2019] and on applying Supply Chain Finance, Marketing Research and Business Analytical , and International Logistics strategies and implementations to help small and medium-sized companies with their resources and capabilities, who are or not actively exporting or importing goods and want to get a better understanding of International Trade Compliance when conducting business transactions in the USA and foreign regions. That said, I provide Customs Regulations training in a webinar and seminars platform, please sign onto my company website (www.rvg-international-consulting-firm.org) and check out the courses at the News and Events section.

(more) In a marketing plan, you should have an integrated marketing communication strategy that consists of a digital marketing mix that entails a social media plan, and If you have developed one, then it would probably address the six stages of a robust social media toolbox. For instance, these are the suggested steps: (1) listening to customers, (2) setting social media objectives, (3) defining strategies, (4) identifying the target audience, (5) selecting the appropriate tools and platforms, and (6) implementing and monitoring the strategy. Listening to customers and revising the social media plan to accommodate changing market trends and needs is key to an active social media plan.

(more) I agree with everything that Mr. Michael Zimmerman has stated because when it comes to using marketing schemes to promote or attract potential users, then, you may need to pay someone(s) to solicit customers for you, in which the "word of mouth" communication tactic is part of that promotional mix. That said, I also believe that you will still need to be involved in the business community by joining associations and attending networking groups or functions to build a relationship with existing customers and/or potential ones. With that in mind, I suggest that you create a marketing mix that focuses on communicating value(s) for your product(s) and service(s), and that my point of view on it and I wish you well on your consultant endeavors.
