GENERAL INFORMATION

Why did Enterprise Florida, Inc. create the Florida Export Directory?
  • As one of the most dynamic export regions in the country, a comprehensive, globally accessible, online directory was envisioned to help foreign buyers research and connect with Florida’s 40,000 plus exporters.
  • Florida suppliers wanted an affordable, easy-to-use, online tool that would showcase their products and services in a global marketplace.
Who is Enterprise Florida?
  • Enterprise Florida is the sponsor of the Florida Export Directory.
  • Headquartered in Orlando, FL, Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI) is a public-private partnership between Florida's business and government leaders and is the principal economic development organization for the state of Florida.

MEMBERSHIP

How do I get started?
  • Register your company on the Florida Export Directory - it’s FREE.
    • Add basic information first so your company appears in the directory immediately. It only takes 3-5 minutes.
    • After you are registered, you can manage your account in the My Account area. Adding additional content such as graphics, photos, and catalogs can be managed directly by you or additional contacts.
  • Pick a profile plan that maximizes your marketing budget and ROI
    • Consider cross-publishing into the Export Yellow Pages as an option. Cross-publishing gives you immediate and automatic exposure in The Export Yellow Pages and multiplies your reach to international contacts.
    • Consider enhanced profile plans. There are two enhanced options which use Internet and search tools to expand your exposure in both the Florida Export Directory and The Export Yellow Pages Directory.
How do I decide which plan is right for me?
  • Compare Plans
    • The best place to review your options is to spend a few minutes in the Compare Plans area of the site. A table compares each plan’s features and benefits side by side.
    • From the plan table page you can also preview each plan’s visual attributes in three ways - the search listing view, the profile view and the print plan (for cross-published and enhanced plans).
  • By Strategy
    • If your goal is to set your company apart and get the best search result placement in the Directory, pick the Global Elite Plan. Global Elite search result placement is above all other plans.
    • Competitive positioning - How are you positioned with competitors in the marketplace? What listing plan will give you the edge? Will a buyer easily find your company and understand your market positioning?
    • Consider the keywords buyers will use to find your company, products, services, industry, and product categories. Your product catalog can have keywords assigned to each product. Do you have a "brand" that you can assign keywords to?
  • By Existing Marketing and Product Content
    • Members often inventory their existing marketing content such as web copy, digital print, and graphics and increase their ROI by re-purposing content to a listing plan. Do you have company brochures, product catalogs, photos, logos and graphics or video? After you inventory your existing content, you can select a plan that’s right for you.
    • Figure out how many products you’ll want to post, each plan has maximum options.
  • By Budget
    • Florida Export Directory members receive exclusive subscription pricing through the Meet Your Global Match program. Plans are priced at $75 (value of $190) for cross-publishing to The Export Yellow Pages, to $288 (value of $1,152) annually for Global Elite - the most comprehensive plan.
What are the benefits of cross-publishing to the Export Yellow Pages?

Cross-publishing replicates your listing profile in The Export Yellow Pages. The benefit - it multiplies your global exposure, without increasing the time and effort it takes to maintain a company profile, contacts and product catalogs. When you make changes to your Florida Export Directory, it synchronizes automatically with The Export Yellow Pages. In addition cross-publishing lists your company in the companion print directory which is distributed globally.

Can I upgrade to cross-publishing (Global Plus) and later to an Enhanced Plan within the same subscription period?
