1

Identifying the right markets

While the Asia market offers endless opportunities to brand seeking growth, each country and region has its individual characteristics. To maximize the success of our brands, we begin our journey with a full analysis of the market potential in our areas of operation.

Feedback received from our local native teams, helps us pinpoint the highest potential market for each client, taking into account factors such as demand and competition in the category, size of the market, local registration and regulation procedures, tax structure and more.

2

Introducing the brand to potential customers

In Asia, face-to-face meetings are an important trust-building gesture. To this end, DNO’s local offices maintain an ongoing relationship with retailers and the professional market, which includes personally presenting new brands, even before the official process begins.

By doing so, we create an interest in the brand which in turn drives demand and helps secure initial orders that will be filled once the regulation procedures are completed.

Registration & certification

Each country has different registration and regulation requirements.

As your partner in the local market, DNO’s team takes on this complex and time-consuming process, making sure the right documents are submitted in a professional and timely manner.

securing quality sales channels

In Asia, as like any market, success is measured not only by the ability to secure sales channels, but also in the volume of repeated orders. With DNO as your distribution partner, we have you covered.

From logistics, order execution, marketing & sales support, and everything in between, we guarantee distribution channels are exposed to the best brand experience. We operate in any available channel to create ongoing demand for your brand, maximize sales and grow repeated orders.
