Doing Business In Mexico
Do not ignore the Mexican marketplace because of the main stream media's constant
bad mouthing about the bad news out of Mexico. There are many places just as bad,
if not worse in the USA that I would tell you to steer clear of for both business
and personal travel.
Here is a link to a website that will help you better understand how BIG the Mexico
marketplace is both for finding low cost products as well as selling your products
and services into -
http://www.promexico.gob.mx/en_us/promexico/Empresario_Extranjero
and although this website has a great online trade directory, if you are going to be
doing any kind of direct marketing to businesses or business people in Mexico, then
having a targeting business list or database is your best resource. To help you
compile the most up to date list of Mexican business owners, Presidents, CEO's and
TOP executives, check out the Mexico Business Directory
