FRIENDS OF GREECE - Project 1 - Trade Promotion initiative


We, the Friends of Greece

 

PROJECT 1

How to help Greek companies increase their export

 

We all know that Greece is producing many very good and highly appreciated products. Olive oil, wine, yoghurt, fruit, tzatiki, Metaxa, Ouzo, leather products - and much more.

We also know that it is very difficult to find these product in the shops outside Greece.

 

This project is about helping our Greek friends to have many more of their products on our shelves. In all European countries.

We will start with a pilot project in Denmark.

 

1. We will create a special home page on available Greek products in our shops. It will tell which products are in which shops.

2. We will ask major supermarkets and others for information about which Greek products they already sell.  And put that on the website.

3. We will give the possibility to importers of Greek products to write directly into our website and in this way making it dynamic and self-developing.

3. We will offer organisations of Greek producers advertisements on our website. These ads will in the beginning be for free. Later on - if it will be a success - we might ask for small contributions for ads to finance the website.

4. The website has to become very well known - and very often visited.  A way to do that is to link it to a competition, where visitors (if they register) can win a free trip to Greece  (done in cooperation with one or more travel agencies).

5. It is evident that this promotion service can in no way take any responsibility for the quality of the products and their availability. This is and should be the responsibility of the shops and importers.

6. When the pilot project in Denmark - in close cooperation with Greek partners - is up and running the aim is to start similar initiatives in other European countries.
