Importation and distribution

How to introduce a brand for distribution in Brazil

A distribution conversation starts with the product and the market the brand wants to reach. An organized brief helps assess fit and develop the scope of a partnership.

Introduce the brand and portfolio

Share a company presentation, country of origin, website and main product lines. Explain what characterizes the products and who uses them. Catalogs and available technical information help explain the portfolio beyond a list of references.

Explain your objectives in Brazil

Describe the intended audience, channels of interest and current presence in the country. The conversation differs depending on whether the project involves initial market entry, product line development or reorganization of an existing commercial relationship.

Connect importation with ongoing commercial activity

Product arrival needs to connect with availability, inventory, distribution and channel relationships. Present expectations for each stage and identify which responsibilities need to be discussed in the partnership.

Share the category requirements

Provide technical characteristics, available documentation, storage needs and customer service requirements. Different categories may require their own structures and checks. Product and commercial model analysis guide project assessment.

Develop the partnership scope

Product lines, channels, territory, responsibilities and terms should be defined for the project. LATINA’s experience in specialist markets is a foundation for the conversation; the proposal needs to reflect the brand’s portfolio and objectives.
