Hello

Greetings from my office / home in Spain.
Last week I was in the UK at AW HQ and telling you about my Brexit Giftware thoughts: The Brexit Giftware Briefing - you can read it here.
After an amazing week at HQ catching up with the many developments and working with the team, we are back in Spain briefly. Next week off to Greece.

3 Brexit Beating Strategies you need to know

It's been quite a week in UK politics, monumental events. You like all of us have witnessed history in the making.
As Richard Branson puts it: It's Brexit Bloodbath.. it's a huge mess. It's already cost the country dear and it's only a week..
I'd like to say now that the dust has settled, here for you are my further thoughts. But the dust is still flailing about and and who knows when we'll get back to business as usual.

But one or two things are becoming clear: Mainly.. there will at least be a two year window of opportunity to sell to Europe without tariffs, and with most likely an advantageous exchange rate for exports.
The focus worldwide on Britain is also no doubt stoking interest in British products, especially since for our foreign friends everything Brit is a bit cheaper..
The nimble fleet footed gift trader can at least take action to make the best of it.

So straight to business..

1. Export Export Export.. while we can. How can we do that.. well if you are not already selling on Ebay or amazon europe, now is the time to think about it.
We offer an excellent dropshipping service (great shipping rates to the EU), if you can turn your marketing skills to Europe, especially if you have language skills (or access to language skills) you can reap rewards in this market. We have found Freelancer to be a great affordable recourse for language (and marketing) skills. A HUGE window has just opened.

2. There is a quiet revolution going on.. a secret that a few super entrepreneurial people are already taking advantage of. That secret is America. America is a mega market and if you can overcome the hurdles there is big bucks to be made via Amazon or Ebay. We have a number of customers already accessing this market. And this market just got more profitable. Hint.. don't think you can ship order by order to the land of the free.. you have to organise order fulfillment on the other side of the pond. And don't think small, everything is naturally bigger there.

3. Be British! Be more British than ever before, find your inner Brit, and roll out the union jack carpet - sit on it and meditate. When you have fully channeled your inner Churchill, allow those product ideas to be created. Come on guys make something distinctly British.. or even Scottish, Welsh or Irish. Now is the time to make a product range - stiff upper lip guys - lets make it happen.
Then when you need a distributer for your product to reach a wider market, don't forget to drop us line, we are always interested in new products :)

Meanwhile new products at AW just keep coming. The guys in goods in are complaining they have never been so busy.
Every new product is a new business opportunity, and I really feel that we have some of the best giftware deals and products ever.

Check it out below..

Now come on guys lets have a great summer. We can do this :)
Take care
