- Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZs) are designated areas within the United States that are considered outside of the country for customs purposes. They allow companies to import goods without customs duties or quotas until the goods enter the US marketplace.
- FTZs provide significant benefits to private companies, including no duties on goods that are exported from the zone or destroyed, reduced or eliminated duties on waste and scrap, and exemption from some local and state taxes. Companies can also choose to pay duties on raw materials or finished products, whichever is lower.
- Establishing an FTZ requires applying to the FTZ Board for approval, which takes about a year. Once approved, US Customs must also activate the zone and

Push & Pull Strategy international MarketsAdil Suleman
The document discusses push and pull promotional strategies. A pull strategy involves motivating customers to seek out a brand through advertising, word of mouth, customer relationship management, and sales promotions. A push strategy takes the product directly to customers via trade shows, direct selling, negotiating with retailers, efficient supply chains, and point-of-sale displays. The document recommends using both strategies together for an effective marketing mix. It also discusses targeting global customers by researching their demographics and preferences to craft appropriate push and pull messages, and using different communication methods suited to each market.
The document compares and contrasts pull and push manufacturing systems. A pull system bases production on actual daily demand, with information flowing from the market to management. A push system bases production on a projected production plan, with information flowing from management to the market. Some advantages of a pull system are limited inventory, being customer centric, and improved cash flow. Some advantages of a push system are high inventory and making products to stock based on forecasts. Disadvantages of a pull system include needing balanced systems and setup times impacting throughput. Disadvantages of a push system include potentially generating scrap before errors are found and requiring large, complex databases and diligent product flow maintenance.
This document provides an overview of distribution management. It defines distribution management as the efficient transfer of goods from the place of manufacture to the point of sale or consumption. It then lists the names, organizations, and positions of 7 team members presenting on distribution management systems. The presentation goes on to discuss key distribution concepts like product, place, price, and promotion. It also describes different distribution channels including direct selling, indirect selling through wholesalers and retailers, and different distribution intensities. The document concludes with an overview of channel formats like producer-driven, seller-driven, and service-driven distribution.
The document discusses push and pull marketing strategies. The push strategy involves creating a network of resellers, agents, brokers, and representatives to distribute products. It is suitable when a product is popular, for new products entering the market, or when a company has a tainted reputation. However, the document warns that using the push strategy means losing some control over sales and incurring costs of supporting resellers. The pull strategy involves selling directly to customers without resellers. It allows branding and positioning products as exclusive but requires more financial and time costs. The document promotes an online platform that can help companies use a pull strategy to sell directly to customers.
This document summarizes an eye donation campaign organized by an NGO called UMEED. The campaign aims to raise awareness about eye donation and pledge more people to donate their eyes. The campaign will be organized on important dates like Republic Day, International Eye Donation Day, and Mahatma Gandhi's birthday. The campaign will use direct marketing techniques like group discussions, face-to-face interactions, websites, and print advertisements to promote eye donation and address common questions and myths regarding eye donation.
This document provides an overview of marketing channel structure and functions. It discusses how channel members add value through specialization and the division of labor principle. The document also examines different types of marketing channels for consumers and businesses. It explores considerations for selecting and managing multi-channel distribution systems, as well as carefully selecting and developing international channel members. Finally, it summarizes that future distribution channels will be more interactive and challenged by the internet, while international channels will remain important with an adaptive focus on customer preferences.
This document discusses international logistics and supply chain management. It defines supply chains and logistics, and outlines the history and evolution of supply chain management. It describes key supply chain concepts like push and pull strategies, the bullwhip effect, and collaboration. It also examines supply chain drivers, processes, decisions, and emerging best practices. The overall document provides a comprehensive overview of modern supply chain management principles and strategies.

The document discusses physical distribution and distribution channels. It defines physical distribution as moving tangible products through distribution channels. Physical distribution management involves activities like order processing, inventory control, inventory location and warehousing, materials handling, and transportation. When designing marketing channels, marketers consider factors like setting distribution objectives, specifying distribution tasks, developing alternative channel structures, evaluating relevant variables, and selecting channel members. Channel structure dimensions include the number of levels, intensity at various levels, and types of intermediaries. Variables affecting channel structure are market variables, product variables, company variables, intermediary variables, and environmental/behavioral variables. The key is developing a channel structure that aligns with objectives and considers all relevant factors.

BlackBerry was founded in 1984 and released its first smartphone device in 1999. It gained popularity for its secure email services but has struggled recently against competitors like Android and Apple. It launched a new BlackBerry 10 operating system and devices in 2013 but sales have continued to decline, with questions around its ability to survive as an independent company. Key strengths included security and focus on business users but weaknesses included inability to market the brand, dependence on corporate contracts, and poor presence in tablets.
The document is a presentation about how product management has changed with the rise of cloud computing and analytics. It discusses how these technologies have made experimentation easier and faster by reducing upfront costs and improving measurement. Product managers are now able to conduct many parallel experiments in production and gain real-time feedback on what works, rather than relying on justification, surveys or roadmaps. This new approach favors learning over planning and emphasizes discovering what doesn't work rather than getting features perfectly right.

The document advocates transitioning more postal services to digital while still supporting a role for physical mail.
1. The address is an essential tool for economic and social development that is often taken for granted. Without accurate addresses, individuals cannot participate in modern life through services like banking, communications, and transportation.
2. Inaccurate and undeliverable addresses represent a significant wasted cost for businesses. The cost of a single undeliverable piece of mail can be over $3 total due to mailing, production, and processing costs. For large mailings with even a small percentage of inaccurate addresses, these costs multiply dramatically.
3. As e-commerce and globalization increase parcel shipping volumes around the world, the need for accurate addressing grows. Incorrect addresses can cost delivery companies and merchants over $25 per parcel to

OBJECTIVES & BRIEFTo make members of the GUINNESS eRMprogramme feel warm to the brand on their Birthday and encourage them to celebrate it with a friends and a pint of the black stuff. STRATEGYIt's a sad fact that as we get older we get fewer Birthday cards. So a timely message from an old friend like Guinness not only puts our Birthday boys (and girls) in a good mood, but is a 'not so subtle' reminder of how best to celebrate another candle on the cake. For the younger, less traditional and more internet-savvy members of the data-base, an entertaining email creates more cut through than a paper based (or electronic) Birthday card. While we cannot underestimate the importance of being remembered on your Birthday, the email comms has the added viral potential of being used to invite friends and family to their Birthday celebration. In essence, entertainment first, drive consumption second. SOLUTIONFor 2006-7 we created a short personalised movie of a pub landlord wishing the recipient Happy Birthday. The landlord tries pulls a pint and tries to get it through the screen - to no avail. No fear, the viral aspect of the piece allows our Birthday boy to personalise an invite to a friend. Additionally, the email can be personalised and re-sent to friends, inviting them to a pub of their choice. RESULTS60% opened the email. 95% of those interacted fully. 96% unprompted recall in post campaign research. Whilst it's difficult to measure uplift per consumer as a direct result of this activity, if the 30,000 people we know fully interact with the email every month, use the email to get friends down the pub on their Birthday, that's quite a lot of GUINNESS being supped. The campaign was such a resounding success in 2007 picking up a Commendation at the Revolution Awards 2007 and scooping the Grand Prix at the Precision Marketing Awards that Guinness decided to run it again in 2008, this time, with a free pint voucher included.

This is not new. This is as old as commerce and was first most clearly articulated by the legendary Claude Hopkins. His book, Scientific Advertising, should be required reading for anyone in this business. It’s in the document library o f my website, or that of the great Andy Owens in the UK. Listen to his opening lines: the tiem has come when advertising has in some hands reached the status of a science. It is based on fixed principles and is reason ably exact. The causes and effects have been analysed until they are well understood. The correct method of procedure have been proved and established. We know what is most effective, and we act on basic law. “ And he then goes on to describe direct marketing and testing in great deal. Most importantly, “To properly understand advertising or to learn even its rudiments one must start with the right conception. Advertising is salesmanship. Its principles are the principles of salesmanship. ….Let us emphasise that point. The only purpose of advertising is to make sales….”
This campaign for National Geographic magazine by Bruggemann and Freunde of Germany beat control through use of a questionnaire regarding the recipient’s interests and reading habits. The responses also guided the magazine in future editorial selections. The questionnaire, an involvement device, engaged the intellect of the targets who responded well to a company that respected their opinion. And, they discovered this would work online very well, also . With opt-in email they had a 15% response rate. Extraordinary.
