World Women Trade Fair

The World Women Trade Fair uses activities such as-:

Trade Fairs, Trade Missions, Mentoring, and hosts Innovative Business Roundtables workshops with a vast network of Top Women Organizations, Scholars, Funders, Private Sector Businesses, Policy Makers and UN Agencies on SUCCESS Strategies for promoting Global Trade Opportunities and Access to Global Markets.

World Women Trade Fair extends its services to also include Business Skills Training with a particular focus on developing sustainable training models for each target group of women entrepreneurs including-micro women entrepreneurs, small and medium sized women entrepreneurs.

As the World Women Trade Fair continues to achieve success, the network of women entrepreneurs are not only accessing global markets, but they are also sustaining their global growth.

This is having a remarkable impact with women entrepreneurs in countries such as Philippines, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania, Congo DRC,Cameroon,Bolivia who would have have found it extremely difficult to gain access to the capacity building tools , information and resources that they need inorder to access global markets.

Women's Concerns in accessing Global Market..

"We cannot afford the high cost of TRADE SHOWS...

"We are a small producer group unable to access funding and consultant services...

"Our organization received donor support to attend one Trade Show and we presently do not have the funding to attend followup Trade Shows and the export credit to fill customer orders..."

"We spent alot of money to attend International Trade Show and we did not receive a single order and the buyers were not visiting our booth.."

WE PRODIVE SOLUTIONS!

It takes an average of attending 8-10 Trade Shows a year to achieve BIG SUCCESS !!the cost of a booth alone averages US$1500

It is a challenge for buyers to place orders with first time exhibitors.A wide selection of buyers will place orders after a third participation, allowing time to build a buyer-producer relationship.

I am going to followup on some of the contacts which I made .The Business Workshop is the best that I have ever attended.Tailored to our needs . Jane Kiunsi .Federation of Association of Women Entrepreneur Mbeya-Tanzania.

Madam, thank you for the opportunity to attend your show in London. At first I did not want to attend because your training package says, this is Phase 1 of your Market Access Program. We are a big company and we do not need to be in Phase I. The show was very important to us in test marketing our products directly to the UK end consumers .The quality of our product is very good but we produce the wrong designs and the prices are very high. I sold the small wooden boats and cars and the big boats went to a gallery of two companies in Brighton and London who want to contract us for production and they will supply the designs.

Thank you and we will register for the USA Show. S. Nguyen

Dear Margaret, Thank you for the grant support to attend both the Business Womens Network Leadership Summit and the two days Trade Show and Workshop . The high lights of this superb event was the US.Market Orientation which you organized with the Craft Center.
