Strategies For Promoting Maui Made Products

By Georgia Diaz


The promotional of the various Maui made products is conducted by the Maui Chambers of Commerce. The chambers of commerce is having various ways of doing the promotion. This article looks at the various way of the chambers of commerce is using to promote the Maui made products.

The first one is through business networking. This involves offering the various business opportunities for the manufactures to market their products and companies. For instance there is the monthly business after hours which is a programme aiming at providing such opportunities for networking. The chambers also organize the various luncheon and breakfast meetings which brings together the various players in the manufacturing industries. This also gives the manufactures opportunity to unveil their new products to the potential customers.

This committee is the one responsible for promoting the business network for the manufactures in Maui. The committee normally organizes various events such as business after hours, luncheon, the mayors breakfast as well as the governors breakfast. All these provide an opportunity where different people can meet and network with each other. The networks they create help them to expand on their market. The network also helps them to benchmark with other manufactures hence improve on their produces.

The second committee also helping in marketing is the Made in Maui Trade Council. The council has developed a logo which helps in identifying the various goods produces in Maui. All of the goods must have the logo so that they can be identified easily in the international market. This committee also goes through an extra mile and advertise the products on behalf of the manufactures and other companies as well.

This is important because when the manufactures combine their efforts together through the committee, it is much easier to penetrate the international market as opposed to when they try to penetrate on their own. The committee also organizes several meeting where all the stakeholders are expected to make their contribution on the best way forward for the operation of the committee. The committee also runs a website where they provide listing for all the manufactures to market their products. This is also a bust to the marketing of the Maui made products.

Business development and education committee is another crucial committee of the chamber of commerce. This committee is responsible for organizing various conferences where the members undergo through training and education. The committee is also responsible of conducting research and actively engaging the manufactures on how they can improve on their products. This is also acting as a marketing strategy.

The other committee is the event and membership committee. This committee keeps a record of all the members which includes the manufactures and the all the other relevant players in the manufacturing industries. There is also the marketing and public relations committee which produces various publications on the products being manufactured.

The other committee is the small business committee which looks into ways of promoting the small businesses for them to thrive. The chambers of comers therefore play an important role in the marketing and the promotion of Maui made products.
