Dalam upaya untuk
melestarikan kekayaan budaya leluhur warisan tradisional, maka produk kerajinan
harus diperkenalkan kepada masyarakat
luas, tidak hanya di dalam negeri tetapi juga luar negeri. Salah satu caranya adalah dengan mengikuti berbagai
pameran kerajinan tangan.
Untuk promosi produk
kerajinan tangan ke luar negeri perlu diperhatikan hal-hal sbb:
1. Pelajari kesukaan atau hal-hal yang paling diminati di
negara tersebut termasuk jenis pameran yang diikuti. Misalnya Eropa, masyarakatnya menyukai
barang-barang antik atau kerajinan.
2. Buat jaringan. Bila sesekali Anda ke luar negeri,
cobalah berkenalan dengan para pedagang atau orang Indonesia yang tingal di
sana. Dengan begitu, secara tidak langsung mereka akan membantu mempromosikan
bisnis Anda ke teman-teman dekat.
3. Hubungi KBRI untuk mengetahui jadwal pameran
produk-produk Indonesia.
4. Perhatikan kurs mata uang untuk menentukan harga
barang dagangan Anda.
Di kwartal pertama tahun
2013, bersama teman-teman berkolaborasi mengikuti beberapa pameran di luar
negeri antara lain :
1. Pameran Ambiente yang diselenggarakan di Frankfurt am Main, Jerman pada 15-19 Februari

In an effort to preserve traditional cultural wealth of ancestral heritage, handicraft products must be introduced to the general public, not only domestically but also internationally. One of the way is by attending various craft fairs.
Things to consider for the promotion of handicraft products abroad:
1. Learn the things that are most in demand in countries
including the type of exhibition that we are
following. European for example, they like antiques or crafts.
2. Create a network. If you go abroad, try to get acquainted with the merchant or Indonesian people
living there. That way, they will indirectly help to promote your business to their acquaintances.

Contact the
Embassy to know the schedule of exhibitions of Indonesian products.
