 Johanna_Switzerland | Above is the link to our article about selling in Estonia. This would give you an idea of what a marketing plan is going to look like, it would be specific for your project. A basic marketing plan is a tailored made research in a 3 pages document. It’s a start to see more clearly where your project is heading. Then you can ask for more research on specific subjects: regulation, tax, customs clearance, warehouse, competition, consumers’ culture, price tag. You can also organise some sampling, like selling your products online, in markets, at various prices, various models, to test the reaction of your customers. You could also test various countries. | 13:21:40 |
 @hakarobin:matrix.org | ok thanks :) | 13:34:17 |
| Johanna_Switzerland | In reply to @hakarobin:matrix.org
the company is more than 1 and half years old, and already got some bank transition, Initially I want to sell T-shirt online , so looking for a business partner base in Estonia Have you considered selling other products than T-shirts? Like hoodies, jeans, backpacks? What is your target segment? Youth, adults, sportswear, urban? What is your marketing strategy resulting from your market segments and products? Tribal marketing, online advertising, press advertising, booths at events, word of mouth? We definitely need a marketing plan, but your project has potential since you have the ability to manufacture in Bangladesh, this could offer work to many people in your community. Where would the design be done? Do you have a designer? We may have someone. | 13:53:28 |

| Johanna_Switzerland | hakarobin: the only way for your community to get fair wages is if you are not subjected to foreign entities, otherwise they’ll always squeeze employees to pay dividends to shareholders. So you have a plan, now we need to put that in writing, and tailor it to your target market, this is when a local consultant will bring value, whether you target Estonia, France, or any other country. Give me a little time to look into that. | 10:45:33 |

| Johanna_Switzerland | Are you interested in exporting to France? We can set up a bureau with a representative for your brand. In the marketing plan, you’ll have to include a part about the design as fashion can be different from one culture to another, and also a part about the product line, what you may want to sell along T-shirts. You’ll have to also look into the sports that have the most “tribal” culture within the youth, like skateboarding, basketball, football, whatever generates a need for peer recognition. I’m going to ask our French contact to get in touch with you. | 13:24:02 |

| christian_moreau_france | hakarobin: hi. Could we schedule a Voice call tomorrow Monday? We use UTC to agree on a time due to time difference between countries. From 8 am UTC until 15 pm UTC is good for me. | 10:29:55 |

| christian_moreau_france | hakarobin: no, WhatsApp is not a secure app and it’s taking all your private data including your phone contacts and sharing it with third parties. You can’t use WhatsApp for business. We’re going to use Riot. It’s using end-to-end encryption. | 17:41:18 |
