How to get a product placed in the market? This is one of the toughest questions that govern the fate of any business. You can choose to invest in your own distribution system, but this involves a lot of costs. Additionally, lack of knowledge about the target market and time and responsibilities associated with distribution can make things more difficult. This is where need of appointing distributors, sales agents or franchisees comes in picture. They can help a medium or large scale business win new markets at less worry and expenses.

Keeping this in mind, TradeIndia has launched GetDistributors.com, a comprehensive search-based online platform where a business, which wants to expand its reach to new customers and markets, can easily find distributors, franchisees or sales agents. Medium and large-sized companies which want to expand further in the domestic market or exporters interested in exploring new overseas markets will benefit from this new platform. In addition, getdistributors.com will prove no less beneficial for foreign international companies, which want to expand their footprint in the Indian market.

GetDistributors.com will also open up a whole new world of opportunities for small enterprises and individuals with entrepreneurial spirit. By registering on GetDistributors.com, they can now partner with large and established businesses by getting themselves appointed as their distributor, franchisee or sales agent. The benefits of this are many -- by forming such a partnership, a small business can directly place itself in the market between a manufacturer and its end users, enjoy exclusive rights to sell the products in a specific territory, and profit from the latter's expertise and brand image.

In a bid to keep the platform user-friendly, we have kept the website features very simple. There are three primary search options: Distributors Search, Franchisees Search, Sales Agents Search and in each of these categories, a user can choose either the "I am looking for . . ." option or the "I want to become . . ." option as per requirement. In the "Find Business Opportunities" there are around 40 industry categories, each further divided into some distinct sub-categories. A company or an individual can register itself as a distributor, franchisee or sales agents by filling only a simple form free of cost. These is also an 'Ask the Expert' section where members can post questions and get answered in detail by an expert.

TradeIndia has constantly been endeavoring to assist the business community in every aspect possible. Only recently, we launched mobile-ready catalogs and websites to make our platform more mobile phone friendly, and also signed an MoU with Thailand's Department of International Trade and Promotion to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from both sides tap more opportunities, and now we are extremely happy to launch GetDistributors.com and hope that the new platform would prove beneficial for both large and medium-sized businesses as well as small scale enterprises.

I invite you all to visit GetDistributors.com. Your valuable feedback will help us improve the portal and serve your needs better.
