HOW TO SOURCE RELIABLE BUYERS

Nigerian Non-Oil Commodity Export Business is an emerging market that is not yet fully tapped by Nigerians. It is an interesting business with a long, medium and short term business opportunities. While some Nigerians that are tapping into it in the right way, most of the new entrance into this business did not know the right step to take to be successful in this business. Non-Oil Commodity Export Business has three major challenges:
  1. Buyer Sourcing and Management
  2. Local Sourcing and Quality Management
  3. Logistics Management
Out of these three challenges, the toughest is: Buyer Sourcing and Management. For the context of this article, we will be discussing how to source  reliable buyers. There are various method of sourcing for buyers, but I will be discussing the easiest and reliable method that I have used for my clients which is ENHANCING YOUR EXPORT COMPANY IMAGE.


Enhancing your export company image is of serious importance. The way you present your export company to the world is the way they will accept it. Any prospective buyer that gets to know the name of your company will instantly want to know more about you. The best way to enhance your exporting company image is through a Corporate Website and  Strong Social Media Presence.There is a saying, that “first impression, last longer”. The first medium that will carry and promote the image of your company is your website. This will take your company to the nook and cranny of the whole world where you cannot be simultaneously at the same time. It will take your business to the closet of your buyers. Therefore, it is of great importance to have a company website for your non-oil commodity exporting business.

It is also important that the presentation of the website must not be poor. The design, copywords, pictures and arrangements must be appealing to the buyer depending on the type of commodity you are exporting, this will go a long way in determining how the website should be presented. Each category as it's own niche designs. Also, the category of the commodities you choose to export will determine the website settings. Your contact information must be clear in order for your buyers to contact you easily. An excellent website can take your business to the next level beyond your dreams; it will also give you a strong social media presence which will create more exposure of your company to the international market.
