MARKET SELECTION
The Canadian market is small, US-dependent, and getting over-saturated. That can lead to intensified competition, a diluted brand, and shrinking profit margins. Basically, fragility when you need to be robust. Risk where you need certainty. As the saying goes, it's time to stop doing stuff where you eat. Invest in yourself by exploring other markets. There are nearly 8 billion people in the world. Some of them definitely want your stuff, and now is the time to sell it to them.
We know Asia best and have the expertise and local representatives who connect to various markets throughout Asia, especially Greater China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia Countries.
