The Opportunity

More than half the fishing tackle market is outside North America.

The largest brands/manufacturers in the fishing tackle industry - including Daiwa, Shimano, and Rapala – know this.  They generate the majority of their sales outside North America.  The top 14 markets outside North America represent 80% of the sales opportunity internationally.

 

The Challenges

Lack of resources.

Most US-based brands/manufacturers have reported that international sales are expected to be a primary growth driver, but that their international business is not growing (Trade Insights Report, American Sportfishing Association and Southwick Associates, 2018).  The reason is that their international business is often managed from their US headquarters, with limited travel, and shared resources with the US domestic business.

 

The Solution

International Sales Agency.

Specialized in finding, signing, and managing international distributors. An international sales agency, with proximity close to priority international markets, will help reach the sales potential that has been alluding US-based brands/manufacturers...at a cost scaled to the size of the business.
