For Indian makers and traders who sell abroad, and want overseas buyers to trust a first order.

/ 01 Export marketing

A buyer abroad can't visit you.Your marketing has to vouch for you.

An overseas buyer will not trust a stranger with a first order, so the exporter who wins is the one who is easy to check and easy to reorder from. PromotEdge helps Indian exporters reach buyers abroad, with LinkedIn outreach, search pages, catalogues, multilingual websites, trade fair stalls and follow-up.

Export marketing is everything that helps a buyer in another country find you and trust you enough to order. That means a catalogue, a website, a LinkedIn page, a trade fair stall and a fast reply to every enquiry.

This page is for any Indian maker or trader who sells abroad. It covers manufacturers, merchant exporters (who buy from others and ship) and farm and food exporters. Size does not matter. A ten-person unit and a big plant face the same first question from a buyer: who are you?

Sara International is a PromotEdge group company that manufactures and exports jute and canvas bags, which we are building. We serve Indian exporters from India, with a servicing team based in cities across India.

/ 02 What usually gets in the way

What gets in the wayand the way through.

“A buyer who has never heard of us won't risk a first order.”

Show a company profile, your certificates and real factory photos on a website that agrees with them. Offer a small trial order.

This is mine

“Trade fairs cost a lot and give us few real leads.”

Book buyer meetings before the fair and build the stall around one product line. Each card goes into a CRM (the software that holds your leads) with a follow-up that week.

This is mine

“Buyers sleep when we work, and speak another language.”

Reply within one working day from a ready template. Write your site and catalogue in the language each buyer reads. Our language partners cover French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin and more.

/ 04 Order to start

From first searchto repeat order.

We start with one product line and two or three countries, then add more of what works.

StepWhat we doWhy it matters for exporters
1. Brand strategyPick one product line and two or three countries, and the reason a buyer should choose you.A narrow focus is easier to remember.
2. Catalogue and websiteA light PDF catalogue, and a website in your buyers' languages with certificates and an enquiry form.Buyers check you online before they reply.
3. LinkedIn and searchA target buyer list and LinkedIn outreach, plus product pages for Google and AI search.Importers search and scroll before they write.
4. Follow-upReplies within one working day on email and WhatsApp. Sample and reorder reminders live in a CRM.Slow replies lose buyers in other time zones.
5. Fairs and filmA stall and a short factory film, with buyer meetings booked before the fair.Follow-up decides what a fair returns.

Analytics and tracking holds it together. Each month we report enquiries, samples and orders.

/ 05 Cost

What affects the cost of export marketing.

We don't publish a price list. After a 30-minute strategist call, a written quote follows within 2 working days. Stalls and printing are billed at cost.

What affects the cost

  • Countries and languages. How many markets the plan covers.
  • Product lines. One focus line needs less than a full range.
  • Website and catalogue. A new build, or a fix of what you have.
  • Fairs and film. Stalls and films are quoted on their own.

How we quote

  1. We talk for 30 minutes about your products and the countries you want
  2. We review your website and catalogue, then propose the first 90 days
  3. A written quote follows within 2 working days. Nothing starts until you approve

What you get in the quote

  • Target countries and buyer types, with the first product line
  • Website and catalogue work, plus LinkedIn, with timelines
  • Any stall, film or translation as its own project
  • How enquiries are tracked from first reply to repeat order

How it is billed

Way of workingWhen it fits
Monthly retainerLinkedIn outreach and follow-up, plus a monthly report. Minimum 3 months, 30 days' notice to stop
Project feeA website, catalogue, stall or film. A website takes 4 to 6 weeks, SEO (search engine optimisation) shows results in 3 to 6 months. We confirm other timelines in the quote

Stall builds go through the PromotEdge group. Media is billed at cost.

Every client and project is different. The cost depends on the effort it takes, so we price after the first call.

Real business problems, from sales to back office, each with a plain AI fix. A person stays in charge of every step.

sales

Overseas buyers sometimes defer orders or payments, which strains an exporter's cash, and export money must come back within a set time.

The AI fix A tracker lists open orders and unpaid invoices, drafts reminder mails and shows the days left to bring the money back. The sales head handles price and credit.

Small exporters have limited access to market information and little knowledge of overseas buyers, which makes finding the right buyers hard.

The AI fix An assistant lists possible buyers from public trade directories and import data and drafts first emails. The exporter checks each buyer, sets prices and does the talking.

The export market in depth

Market size and trend

India's exports in FY 2025-26 (April to March) were an estimated US$ 860.09 billion, up 4.22% from US$ 825.26 billion a year earlier. Goods made US$ 441.78 billion of it and services an estimated US$ 418.31 billion.

Source: PIB, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, trade during March 2026 and FY 2025-26, posted 15 April 2026

How buyers decide

Our view: a buyer abroad first asks peers or an agent, then searches Google and LinkedIn for your name. Next comes your catalogue, then a sample or a small trial order. Buyers drop out when the site is thin, replies are slow or the price sheet is unclear.

What buyers expect

In their words: "Can I trust this factory? Will the quality match the sample? Will you ship on time?" Few say the rest aloud. They want prices in clear Incoterms, the ICC's standard trade terms for who pays freight and who bears risk. They also want one person who replies within a day.

Source: International Chamber of Commerce, Incoterms rules, read 11 October 2026

How Indian exporters sell

Our view: agents and merchant exporters bring orders but keep the buyer. B2B portals such as IndiaMART bring enquiries. Trade fairs give face time. LinkedIn and email build your own list. Long deals look like our industrial manufacturing page, and small parcels can sell from your own store, a D2C (direct to customer) model.

Where it is heading, and AI today and next

The Export Promotion Mission (Rs 25,060 crore, FY 2025-26 to FY 2030-31) names help with international branding, packaging and trade fairs, and DGFT runs it. Our view: AI today answers buyer enquiries and drafts first replies. AI next may match you to buyers. AI cannot win trust or ship on time.

India's trade economy, and what it means for your marketing

Export totals and trend this year

From April to August 2026-27, India's exports of goods and services were an estimated US$ 399.27 billion, up 15.55% on a year earlier. Goods alone were US$ 215.91 billion, up 17.85%. In August 2026, goods exports reached US$ 43.81 billion against US$ 34.74 billion in August 2025. Electronic goods, petroleum products and engineering goods led the rise. What it means for your marketing: when demand grows, more exporters chase the same buyers, so the one who is easy to find and check wins the enquiry.

Source: Ministry of Commerce and Industry, press release on trade during August 2026, New Delhi, 15 September 2026 (service numbers for August are an estimate)

Top export products and markets

In FY 2025-26 engineering goods led goods exports at US$ 122.43 billion, then petroleum products (US$ 53.91 billion), electronic goods (US$ 47.96 billion) and drugs and pharmaceuticals (US$ 31.12 billion). Farm and food lines are smaller: rice US$ 11.54 billion, marine products US$ 8.43 billion and spices US$ 4.26 billion. The USA bought US$ 87.31 billion, about one-fifth of all goods exports, then the UAE (US$ 37.37 billion), China, the Netherlands and the UK. What it means for your marketing: write your catalogue and site first for the markets that buy most, in their language, with the certificates they ask for.

Source: Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Quick Estimates for March 2026 (DGCI&S data), issued with the PIB release of 15 April 2026 (provisional; the share is our division)

Top import products and sources

India's biggest goods imports in FY 2025-26 were petroleum (US$ 173.95 billion), electronic goods (US$ 116.18 billion), gold (US$ 71.98 billion) and machinery (US$ 61.73 billion). China sent the most, US$ 131.63 billion, then the UAE and Russia. What it means for your marketing: a trader who imports parts and also exports can tell one story for both sides. Show stock held, lead time and quality checks on one clear website and catalogue.

A brand journey worth knowing: LT Foods (Daawat)

LT Foods began as a rice trading business of the Arora family, near Amritsar in Punjab. The next generation took its basmati rice abroad.

In the 1980s it began selling rice in packs under its own brand, Daawat. A named pack promised steady quality, which loose rice from many small sellers could not.

The company says its foods now sell in over 80 countries.

What you can do, and how we would deliver

What you can do, and what is not ours

You get your IEC, prepare the papers, send samples and agree payment terms with your bank. Freight and customs belong to your forwarder: we market logistics firms but do not run shipping. Legal papers go to a lawyer, accounts to your CA and credit cover to ECGC. We take the marketing.

How we would deliver, and why each step

First brand positioning, so you lead with one product line. Next the catalogue and website, which buyers check before they reply. Then account-based marketing on LinkedIn to a short list of target buyers, so follow-up stays easy. Trade fairs and film come last, once the message holds. Saurav Agarwal, our Founder and CEO, takes the strategy call and the budget and return-on-investment logic. Shivanand Mishra, our Digital Marketing Lead, runs the buyer lead generation and the reporting.

Papers, money and claims you can prove.

Four things to know.

Import Export Code (IEC). DGFT (the Directorate General of Foreign Trade) issues it. You need it to export goods unless exempt. Apply on the official DGFT page, checked 2026-10-11.

Export money. Under FEMA (the foreign exchange law), RBI (the central bank) wants goods payment back in nine months from shipment, from 1 October 2026. A bank can extend it.

GST on exports. Exports are zero-rated (section 16, IGST Act, 2017). A Letter of Undertaking (LUT) lets you ship without paying GST and claim a refund of unused credit.

Claims and samples. Catalogue claims must be true in the buyer's country. Food, cosmetic or medicine samples may need approval there. Your buyer and freight forwarder confirm the rules.

General guidance, not legal advice.

Well-known Indian brands, each with one plain lesson for an owner in your line of work. Names only, as public examples.

LT Foods (Daawat)

If you trade in loose goods, think about a packed brand with your own name. Buyers abroad can then ask for you.

What they did LT Foods says the family began in grocery trading in the 1940s and launched the Daawat brand in the 1980s. It says its foods are enjoyed in over 85 countries.

KRBL (India Gate)

Pay your suppliers on time and directly. Good suppliers are more likely to keep supplying you.

What they did KRBL's site says it launched India Gate in the home market in 1998. It also says it pays farmers directly within about 3 to 15 days of procurement.

Source: KRBL website (company statement), undated

Fabindia

Consider exporting first. Overseas buyers can be an early market for craft products while you build your range.

What they did Indian Textile Magazine (2020) says John Bissell started Fabindia in 1960 as an export shop selling home furnishings to overseas customers. It says 55,000 artisans connect with consumers worldwide.

Haldiram's

If a family business shares a brand name, settle in writing who owns it and where each person may use it.

What they did A 2013 court ruling barred two family members from using the name Haldiram's Bhujiawala, so they rebranded as Prabhuji, says Moneycontrol (2023). It adds family disputes over the name continue.

Welspun Living

Consider selling under your own brand and also making goods for other buyers' labels. Both routes can run side by side.

What they did Welspun Living's June 2026 quarter presentation, reported by Investing.com, says it sells branded and private label products in more than 60 countries.

Straight answers.

  • Export marketing is the work that helps buyers in other countries find you and trust you enough to order. For an Indian exporter it covers a catalogue, a website, LinkedIn outreach, trade fair stalls and quick follow-up. It sits beside your product and your shipping, and it does not replace them.

  • Start with one product line and two or three countries. List the kinds of company that buy it, then reach them on LinkedIn, in Google search, at trade fairs and on B2B (business to business) portals. Keep a record of every enquiry. Our guide to finding export buyers has the steps, and we plan the channels together.

  • No. We do not file the IEC, which is the first paper an Indian exporter needs. Apply on the official DGFT page or ask your CA (chartered accountant). Once you have it, we build the catalogue and the outreach that bring buyers to you.

  • Yes. We design light PDF catalogues and company profiles, and export websites that show specifications and certificates, with an enquiry form asking country and quantity. Our language partners write in French, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin and more. A website takes 4 to 6 weeks, and we confirm other timelines in the quote.

  • We design the stall and its graphics, book buyer meetings before the fair and run the follow-up after it. Check the fair's rules on who may build at the venue, and we brief that builder. The stall, your travel and the shipping of goods are quoted on their own, so every cost stays clear.

  • No. We're professionals. We'd rather be blunt than pleasing. Orders depend on your product, price, samples and shipping, as well as our marketing. What we can promise is a clear plan, honest monthly reports and more of the right buyers seeing you.

  • It depends on the scope, so we don't publish a price list. The main drivers are how many countries and languages you want, and how much website, catalogue, fair or film work is needed.
