Hi! What do you think is the best and most affordable & profitable way for my Pastor friend, of Pakistan, to do exporting? I am just a housewife, and live in Traverse City, Michigan. But I've tried to find good advice for HIm on the subject. I made a sale group page for him in Facebook. But no luck yet there with helping to increase his overseas exporting sales. Facebook is mostly social media, though some online claim to do business profitably through Facebook.
He has earned an income through exporting to Christian friends of his for some years. But is doing less well with it, lately. And also, he'd like to get his business to be more profitable.

If doing this for the Kingdom, and I believe that is true as you have made this post, you have already started by bringing this before the eklesia, can you send a link I might view? not sure if posting here is proper, a pm would be. I am praying that this be blessed for the Kingdom of God.

Hi! You want a link to what? A page about him?

Hi! I don't know how to do a PM message here. But I'll send you an attached picture of his Christian items he'd like to export for profit. He is able to get some of these things from local stores there, for the purpose, he said. But some of the things were made by members of his church.

His goal and hope is to find stores, etc. that are willing to buy in bulk, for the purpose of re-selling for profit.

I tried, some time back, to ask the Meijer chain of stores if they'd be interested in buying any. But I got no helpful replies back from Meijers on the subject. They gave some advice - but it wasn't helpful. I later read online in a number of sites, the idea that evidently one of the best ways to sell things to store chains, is to first contact their wholesalers who sell to these chain stores. But I checked the subject of Wholesalers, and found there is a cost to using their help, too. I told him that, and he said he'd rather not have any extra cost to it. So I haven't done anything more in that effort, ever since. Though I can continue to sometimes post them in public sale pages I can find in Facebook. But no luck with getting responses to that method, so far.

His own country, do they have a department that helps export businesses?

Explore different options and companies, and always be encouraged to make deals with them on exporting if he can. Its a business deal and with business, everything has opportunities.

Thanks for the advice! I'll tell him what you said, and will look some for him too. He wants to sell in bulk amounts, I now know. The reason must be because he feels unable to pay shipping costs otherwise.
