Waste of time or an important step in scaling up?

The moderator, Dina Gorchakova, Project Manager for Digital Services Development at the Russian Export Center, asked about the global trends and the impact they have, difficulties in going global, and the significance of global product promotion.

The first speaker was Jay Ishak, President of the Malaysian Official Designers' Association: 'I believe all designers aim for collaborations and cooperation with other countries. Simultaneously, it is important to remember about the countries' own traditions. Many designers considered their cultural heritage and integrated to modern garments. This is an essential component of authenticity and encouragement. You have to demonstrate that your trends are suitable in your target market,' she said. She believes in the importance of focusing on communications locally while simultaneously being open to explore international opportunities. Jay said that she eagerly anticipates Russian clothes to be exported to Asia.

Sergey Igishev, Export Development Director, presented YallaHub and spoke about online and offline promotion channels: 'Every country has fierce competition and lots of brands. Only prominent brands with a specific expertise and target audience familiar with their products who will stand out with the offline channels. Besides, online channels help brands to decide first, sell their first pieces, and get feedback. Going offline requires more deliberation, preparation and may be more costly. Online methods offer greater opportunities for you to find a niche with a relatively small investment.'

Andrey Mozhayev, the founder and CEO of Asia Pacific digital agency, talked about the tools that can be used to promote goods in the marketplaces. In particular, he described how Chinese marketplaces can be entered, as he has got to the heart of the matter.
