To sell furniture to Belgium is similar to selling in Canada, with shipping and customs added. By starting with a lower pricepoint and still carrying out the quality that Stylus is known, I hope that we can build a name for Stylus in Belgium as an affordable furniture company. Belgium has plenty of possible clients; it has several hotels and clinics where waiting rooms and lounges exist. These is ideal for such piece of furniture as the ones we are selling.
With a mix of advertisement and cold calling to smalltime business and corperation, I hope to build a client base that will buy and spread the name of our brand. By combining retailers and sales agents we should be able to reach to most amount of customers, businesses and individual consumers. As there are no leading brand names in furniture, Stylus is poised to sell very well in
