The show can be seen as one of the major gateways into the lucrative American market and I would highly recommend that you visit. Whether you’re a retailer looking for exciting new brands and products to begin a partnership with, or a manufacturer hoping to place a foothold in The Land of Opportunity, SHOT is a not-to-be-missed event. And, as you’ll see from page 24, SHOT Show is more than a bunch of trade stands – there’s so much to learn and enjoy from your visit, so be sure to make the most of your trip to Sin City. If you ask our Rest of the <strong>World</strong> partners, most will say that the US represents their largest export sector with some even saying it surpasses the revenue from their own internal market. It’s for this reason that the SHOT Show represents your pre-eminent opportunity for growth – all your important decision makers will be visiting, all in one place, under one roof, making it easy to get what you want quickly and easily without having to fly all over the globe, visiting individual potential partners. * * * * * Our popular “Doing Business with…” series continues this month, with a twist… Throughout <strong>2023</strong>, as well as other countries across the globe, we’ll be figuratively splitting the United States into quarters. In this issue we discover how to do business with Southwestern USA, in April we will discover opportunities available in Alaska, it’s the Midwest’s turn to be the subject of our feature in July and, last but not least, we take a look at Southeastern USA in December. We hope that you find our articles useful and if you are a retailer, manufacturer or member of the trade from any of these regions and would like to give your thoughts and expertise then please drop me a message. Have a great trading month.
