If the U.S. economy is to benefit as fully as possible from the Euro/US Dollar conversion rates, we in the U.S. need to find better ways to "expose" our goods and services overseas to those individuals, companies and consumers who would buy from us if they could.

The Internet is one such exposure mechanism. Folks from other countries can look to see what U.S. companies have for sale, and buy it off of the web - except for one thing. I understand that a number of credit card companies do not let foreign purchasers buy from U.S. websites with cards with foreign addresses on file. One solution to this issue is to use PayPal, which allows payment via credit card from outside the U.S. through some of their services.

If more U.S. companies could provide great exposure to their products and services on the web (video anyone?) through a financial intermediary that is trustworthy and reliable and allows foreign purchases of U.S. goods, that would be a tremendous benefit.

Having a website is not enough however. U.S. companies would have to penetrate and permeate foreign organizations and companies who could use our goods with effective marketing and promotional pitches.

Foreign tourists buy because they are directly exposed to U.S. goods at bargain prices. What we need to do is expose the rest of the global population to bargain priced U.S. goods and services. It used to be that only U.S. multinationals had the manpower to staff an office in a foreign country, analyze export needs, and import and sell goods. It now is possible, perhaps with a bit of know-how from Richards Media Net LLC, for mom-and-pop shops to sell globally. When that happens, you will see business take off. And it will happen. It needs to be as easy as posting to eBay and available to everyone with an Internet connection or the ability to cart your goods to a middleman who can fill out the necessary paperwork, take care of shipping, and pay you for your goods.
