5. • USA products are seen the world over as the most
desirable. Like the appeal of Italian Leather or
French Perfume to Americans, international interest
grows daily in American products. Foreign wage
increases have created more discretionary income
to buy sought after USA goods.
Why go “Outside of the Box”?
• USA companies have developed a “culture” of
thinking inside the box. Their efforts have
focused on domestic business only. International
business becomes an after thought -- their
percentage of the world marketplace reflects this
“culture”.
• Brilliant provides a professional, dedicated sales and
marketing group experienced in the global
marketplace. We oversee an established global DSD
distributor network servicing 120 countries making
your products available to new overseas consumers.
