Why Ukraine needs export brand?
Ukrainian exports shape 50% of the international image of Ukraine. In addition, a strong brand of the country of origin - the Export brand - helps exporters to substantially increase the volumes of sales.
Export growth is of strategic importance to Ukraine's economy. Today, exporters provide 47.9% of GDP and foreign exchange earnings in Ukraine. During 6 months of 2018, Ukrainian exports grew by $ 2.8 billion as compared to the same period of 2017.
Ukrainian exporters will present Ukraine in the world in an identical and consistent way, providing the following:
- the unique visual branding of Ukrainian exporters at international EXPO and industry exhibitions;
- consistent communication of the main messages of the Export brand and characteristics of Ukrainian goods through marketing and advertising materials;
- systematic informing of the opportunities and competitive advantages of the export-oriented industries of Ukraine.
Export brand at China International Import EXPO 2018
Already in November, 2018, Ukrainian exporters, united under the Export brand, will present the achievements and export opportunities of Ukraine at China International Import EXPO 2018, the largest international export exhibition of the world.
Ukraine's export offer will be represented by the food industry, information and communication technology, creative industries, engineering, aerospace, aviation, and tourism.
Interrelation between UkraineNow nationwide brand and the Export brand
The export brand is based on the brand UkraineNow. This is in line with the state's policy of creating a strong emotional and visual link between different sectors and sectors.
The brand of the country and the Export brand are linked by the single theme, but have different practical tasks.
UkraineNow is a nationwide brand of the country, forming the perception of Ukraine and Ukrainians in the world. The brand positions Ukraine through sending messages about national values, quality of life, investment opportunities, culture and tourism.
Ukraine's Export brand presents Ukraine as a profitable trading partner selling quality, authentic, innovative and creative products.
Essential practical requirements are put forward to the Export brand. First, the Export brand should provide an extremely high level of adaptability to the industry and product. Secondly, the Export brand should be applied for branding of all types of exhibition space: from the largest and most expensive national pavilions to the smallest exhibition stands of individual producers. Thirdly, the Export brand must eventually be transformed into a nationally recognized quality label Made in Ukraine.
