Best Ways To Get Started...
A strong commitment to export marketing must precede any
serious participation in an overseas trade fair. This implies thorough
market research on a global basis, staff and production capacity to meet
the demands of new customers and new challenges. More importantly, your
quest for enhanced export activity requires a long-term investment of
time and money. With these prerequisites assured, Kallman Associates can
begin to help you choose the proper market, trade show and sales
approach for your products or services.
Easy To Work With Us...
Whether working with a multinational corporation or a
"Mom and Pop" start-up company we always put your aims and
objectives first and foremost. Building on your market research and
international business plan, Kallman Associates then assists in
selecting the most appropriate venue and trade fair. We recommend a
realistic schedule and provide you with on-going support to make your
exhibiting experience (whether your first or fifty-fifth) trouble-free
and productive. Deadlines and budget constraints become part of the
equation. We rely heavily on our global contacts with professional
colleagues, trade show specialists and competent supplier/contractors.
Our rapport with U.S. government agencies, trade associations and trade
and technical publications, all assure that the process, from your
office to the show site and home again, puts all the advantages on your
side. We're serious about service!
Ways We Get You There...
Our international experience spans five continents and more
than 20 countries --- virtually all of the developed and emerging
foreign markets. We understand that getting there and arriving without
added stress will impact on your success on the selling floor. For that
reason, Kallman Travel Services, Inc. was created to serve our
exhibitors and provide those special services the globe-trotting
businessman or woman wants and requires to operate at peak efficiency.
We realize that the comfortable accommodations, reasonably priced and
convenient to the exhibition hall, are essential. We know, too, that
during many of the mammoth European trade fairs, hotel rooms are at a
premium. So we dispatch our team of travel experts to the fair centers
where we are active and secure various classes of lodging for the peak
trade fair periods. We also survey local transportation and other
amenities which contribute to a smooth-running trade fair visit. This
insider information is combined with the best possible airfares to ease
the burden on travel budgets and to get you there and back as
expeditiously as possible. Turning to Kallman Travel Services is like
having your own in-house travel specialists working on your itinerary
and your transportation/lodging requirements.
Things We Do For You...
Exhibiting at an overseas event is a big investment. To
make sure the return on that investment in time and money as great as
possible, we go well beyond simply "selling" you space at the
foreign trade fair. Experience has taught that an informed exhibitor,
fully briefed on what to expect on the opening day of the show, can
anticipate problems before they arise, and can concentrate his/her full
energies on the raison d'etre for being at the exhibition; selling! Our
pre-show advisory memoranda lead you through the daunting maze of
paperwork that accompanies catalog listings, ordering of electricals and
furniture; and the often discouraging red tape of customs and shipping
declarations. We advise on how the metric system can work for you, on
unfamiliar electrical service and the mechanics of overseas stand building.
We shine the light of our experience on local business customs, labeling
and packaging laws; environmental considerations and elementary good
manners in culturally sensitive situations.
We put you in touch with your government specialists at
U.S. Embassies and Consulates around the world, suggesting how their
expertise can contribute to the success of your trade show appearance.
More recently, we have been expanding our use of the World Wide Web, to
alert exhibitors and prospective visitors to the events and the U.S.
participation. When warranted, we combine website information with
direct mail campaigns to prospective visitors abroad, inviting them to
preview the American offerings at the upcoming trade fair and to email
suggested appointment times to the exhibitor, before exhibitor or
prospect even leaves his/her office. Our services might extend to
recommendations of a three-star restaurant for VIP entertaining, or a
weekend get-away destination for exhibitor and spouse, once the show
closes. There are no "dumb" questions or trivial ones. We
welcome your queries and believe we can answer most of them the first
time around. Certainly, we will have the answer by the next day. Try us.
