The import export business in Germany is just like any other type of business. But by virtue of its global nature, it presents some unique complications. A majority of domestic business operations work under the “build and they will come” mantra. They might at times get away with it when they have the advantage of a prime location and no competition. In the import export business however, it is a guaranteed recipe for disaster.
Your marketing decisions are greatly influenced by competitors in Germany. Instead of being intimidated by the fact that there are other business models doing exactly what you do, you should be looking at ways to set yourself apart. The easiest way to do this is by getting as much information on them as possible.
