Start by attending trade shows in the UK and Europe. Get distribution warehouses in your target countries. Employ agents to find and negotiate with buyers. Spend money on advertising.

  • Sell direct to customer (use platforms like ebay & Amazon
  • Use a distributor
  • Employ (the services of) a local (commission only?) sales person
  • Open up a local office and employ someone to knock on doors
  • Attend trade shows.

The key element is to have a local agent with all the samples to show prospective customers.

Which is also why trade shows are important. If you aren’t there your competitors will be.
