Search for: DRTV in Latin America Is 'Hot, Hot, Hot!'. Author/s: Bridget McCrea The markets south of the border differ from nation to nation. DRTV marketers must adjust their style and substance to meet the needs of consumer bases that are hungry for new and exciting products If you have a hankering to do business in Latin America, get ready to change your business style. Deals may frequently be initiated, negotiated and closed over the phone or via E-mail in the United States, but our Latin counterparts demand face time with their business partners. That face time isn't limited to business meetings either. DRTV marketers that conduct successful business in Latin America might find themselves belly-up to a bar sharing a tequila, visiting family homes and swapping personal stories during the first 15 minutes of a business phone call. Those who ignore these cultural nuances risk being labeled a "gringo." "I've spent a lot of time in Mexico having dinners with people, visiting their homes, meeting their kids and sharing stories about family," says Robin Behar, managing partner with Los Angeles-based In Clover Marketing LLC, an agency that handles distribution sales and licensing deals in Latin America and other countries. "That's how you build relationships and establish trust in Latin America."

Pinkerton THE congressional vote in favor of normalized trade with China may have been narrow, but the implications of that vote will be wide indeed. Commerce will play a larger role, and so will Congress. First, the ponderous structures of U.S. foreign policymaking are finally shifting away from anti-communism, toward the new vision of pro- commercialism. Americans who grew up with acronyms such as MAD and NATO must now absorb new jargon, starting with WTO and PNTR. Second, as one chapter in the historic struggle between the executive and legislative branches for control over foreign policy comes to a close, the first lines of a new chapter are being written. The China vote illustrates both points: Bill Clinton, the first post-Cold War president, sees trade expansion as his chance to leave a unique legacy. But to do so, he has had to battle Congress, which sees itself as at least his equal on trade issues. Ironically, the whole debate over America's peacetime trade with

Contact Us TRAVEL LATIN AMERICA Latin America Marketing: Mediums for the Message From Global Business Magazine, June 1999 Direct marketing tools come of age, even as the internet roots across the Americas. Hope Katz Gibbs Direct marketing has never been easy in Latin America, and it can still prove remarkably frustrating to find a good mailing list or reliable courier. But the era of highly targeted marketing seems to be arriving at last, as big money pours into the sorts of tools that will redefine how sellers find buyers from Mexico to Argentina. Take the case of Star Media, founded in 1996 and currently employing 270 people at offices in New York City, Miami, and throughout Latin America. The internet portal company is so confident about future demand for its services that in March it filed for an initial public offering to sell up to $75 million of common stock. The IPO follows close upon Star Media's $80 million private offering last year. David Witherow, president and chief executive officer of San Francisco-based venture capital firm VentureOne, says that play ranks as one of the single largest equity transactions conducted by a private new media company. It is a clear indication of the investment community's willingness to back the growth of the non-English speaking global internet market, Witherow says. Star Media is far from alone. The ranks of companies that gather and sell mailing and phone lists and consumer profiles in the region are swelling rapidly. Other basic tools, such as dependable postal services, functioning phone systems, inbound and outbound call centers and distribution and fulfillment services are also being introduced at a quick rate.

Indian exporters to Latin America should look at the brighter side of the current situation News from Latin America is not good these days. Headlines such as “Argentinian economy has collapsed”, “Brazil seeks IMF rescue” “Military coup in Venezuela ”, “Resumption of guerrilla war in Colombia ” have revived bad old memories. Understandably, the Indian exporters, who have started venturing successfully into the Latin American market in the last few years are worried. But a critical analysis, based on a purely Indian perspective, reveals a window of opportunity for our exports. During these difficult times,the Latin American businessmen have started looking at countries such as India more seriously. In the prosperous days of the past, the Latin Americans would not care much about the price and go for the best things money could buy from the developed world. But now they have been forced to become more price conscious. And, they have started exploring new supplier countries such as India for products at affordable prices. The Latin American businessmen, particularly from the bigger and richer countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, who, earlier, would not find time to meet Indian exporters, are now eager to meet them. This was evident during the visit of a FIEO delegation in May and a leather delegation from Council for Leather Exports in July this year to Venezuela. The response to these delegations from the Venzuelan importers were notably more enthusiastic than to the delegations received from

CHAPTER XX THE TRADE OUTLOOK Time and space, if they will not be annihilated, certainly will be tremendously lessened by the Panama Canal. On February 11, 1912, a tug and three barges lay at the wharf in Cristobal, on the Atlantic side of the canal. They were needed at Balboa, on the Pacific side, only forty-seven miles across. There were two methods of getting the craft and barges to the desired point, one being to take them to pieces and transport them by the railroad and re-erect them on the other side, and the other method being to send them around Cape Horn. They started on the journey of 10,500 miles on that date, and arrived safely at Balboa on June 16, 1912, consuming 126 days in the trip. If the canal had been finished, the distance of forty-seven miles could have been traversed in ten hours! This is only one graphic illustration of the utility of the Panama Canal. San Francisco is now 14,000 miles from New York around Cape Horn. Through the Panama Canal it will be 8,000 miles nearer, or a little more than 5,000 miles distant. From New York to Valparaiso, by the Straits of Magellan, the distance is about 9,000 miles. Via the canal it will be less than 5,000 miles. Our Atlantic coast will be brought 4,000 miles nearer to Australia than by the Suez Canal, through the Panama Canal route. New York will be 5,000 miles nearer to New Zealand via Panama than around the Cape of Good Hope. The distance to the Philippines will not be materially reduced from Eastern Atlantic ports, but the Panama route will make Hong Kong, Yokohama, and San Francisco ports of call for our own and European vessels, which the Suez Canal does not readily permit.

About LVCVA Vegas Maps Vegas Links Contact LVCVA ... Request a Brochure The Hispanic influence in Nevada has been a very long one and predates all other ethnic groups in the area, with the exception of Native Americans. The earliest Hispanic settlers in the region were from Mexico. Beginning in 1540, some 80 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Hispanic explorers ventured forth into an untamed, uncharted land and endured unbelievable hardships to explore and lay claim to what is known today as the American West. The area that is Las Vegas, Nevada was discovered in 1829 by Rafael Rivera, an 18-year-old scout traveling with Mexican trader Antonio Armijo in search of a shortcut to Los Angeles. Between 1830 and 1848, Las Vegas (which translates to "The Meadows" in Spanish) was given its official name. Hispanics were pioneers in many of the early industries in the region, including the mining of gold, silver, copper, borax, and the manufacturing of leather goods. Hispanics organized and developed some of the richest mines in the state. In fact, early mining methods were copied from Mexican miners, developed and used in their homeland for centuries. Some of the early Hispanic mining giants include Gabriel Maldonado, Don Manuel San Pedro, S. Aruna, Jose Rodriguez, Antonio Rojer, Ventura Beltran and Francisco Pardo. Cattle ranching was another major field of endeavor for these early settlers, led by Pedro and Bernardo Altube, who established "The Spanish Ranch" in 1871.

In the last eighteen months they have captured over $1.84 billion dollars of private funding. However, many of these "flash-in-the-pan" companies are struggling and will soon fail. Some will give way to their clicks-and-mortar counterparts that can leverage their less glamorous, but difficult to replicate, capabilities such as fulfillment and customer management. The first wave of U.S. copycat business models may soon be replaced by superior business models that reflect and adapt to regional market differences. Some high fliers will simply run out of cash due to high cash-burn rates and an increasingly profit-focused investment community. Recently, private investors have become more demanding as they face the need to participate in a second or third round of finance before realizing their IPO nirvana. While these companies may have at some point been darlings of the investment community, many are now struggling to satisfy the demands of the post-NASDAQ crash "new new" investor. In fact, the stocks of three prominent public Latin American Internet companies have fallen an average of 71% from their February peaks and many Latin Internet IPOs have been postponed. Clearly the answer is not always to copy blindly what has happened north of the Rio Grande. This is not to say that there are no lessons to be learned from what has happened in the U.S. In fact, many of the same advantages which have driven clicks-and-mortar successes in the U.S. will also drive success in the Latin American market.

Latin America is the world's fastest growing Internet market. For businesses in the region to capture the potential benefits countries need to equip their people with the skills that are relevant in a digital economy. Business practices and culture also need to be adapted. Governments should accompany these efforts with policies aimed at widening Internet access, completing the regulatory framework of e-commerce and enhancing the infrastructure needed to support transaction fulfilment. For Latin America, as for the rest of the developing world, the Internet opens up fascinating new opportunities in all aspects of social development. The Internet will bring about deep changes in the way Latin Americans work, do business, get access to government services and participate in their political systems.

Chile Country Brief Useful Chile Links Chile Business Contacts Chile GDP Growth That was no coincidence. Amidst political and economic uncertainty in Latin America, Chile continues to be a Latin American business superstar. "Its strength and attractiveness lie not in its size (population of 15 million people), but in the energy and professionalism of its entrepreneurs, the transparency of its regulation, and the predictability of its decision-makers," the U.S. Department of Commerce says in its 2002 country report on Chile. Earlier this month, Chile scored the highest of any Latin American country on the latest World Competitiveness Yearbook compiled by Swiss business school IMD. In the ranking of 49 countries Chile received a score of 65.646 and a global ranking of 20, way ahead of number two in Latin America, Brazil, which scored 47.584 and got a global rank of 35.
