Breathrough export concept gains traction in Bangladesh business circles

The Rogovin Group,a 23 year old international marketing and sales consulting organization recently introduced a new breakthrough export initiative that it has branded,Test America-Bangladesh.

This special export approach was presented to senior Bangladesh government and business leaders during symposiums at Harvard University and The Embassy of Bangladesh, in Washington, DC. In both instances, the reactions to this program were quite positive.

This industry specific, consortium concept is designed to offer a group of non-competitive companies from the same broad industry, the opportunity to present a more cohesive distribution and promotional program to select U.S. retailers. Additionally, this consortium initiative will be able to be produced at a fraction of the cost for a launch of a similar export concept on an individual company basis.

Two Bangladesh industries are being considered for this branded test market initiative e.g. the food and beverage sector (sea food, tea, rice, fruits, spices) and the fashion industry (apparel, leather goods, jewelry, perfumes).

According to David Rogovin, Managing Partner at The Rogovin Group, discussions have begun with the leaders in these industries. Additionally, early stage conversations with representatives from the cultural and tourism ministries (natural partners for this export program) are commencing.
