We participate in selected exhibitions and book fairs to promote the corporate image and product range on offer. Such venues also provide excellent business opportunities in both Trade and Academic segments.
From time to time we undertake direct mailing to potential contacts, approaching them with special value offers. Reasonable returns plus good publicity we expected out of this exercise.
Our Sales strategy:
All sales done by our head office on firm-order basis only. We don’t except any return option offered to any customer. This is applicable to all product ranges. We import the order on procurement basis and invoice the same locally. The credit and payment terms we fix based on the customer’s background and corporate standing.
Being local representative of overseas publishers it really helps them to closer monitoring of credit terms and ensuring timely remittances, which really enable them to seek higher credit limits and insurance from the insurance companies for the customers doing well.
