Talk to JapanRepHow representation works
A Japanese brand. A North American team.
We take on the brand
We study the product, the maker and the position it should hold outside Japan — then we set the commercial approach for North America.
We go to market
Retailer outreach, distributor conversations, buyer meetings, sampling, pricing structures and the day-to-day work of selling in the market.
We build the relationships
Accounts are followed up, questions answered locally, partnerships developed. JapanRep becomes the brand's local team, not a report.
We grow the channel
E-commerce, digital marketing, localized content and continued account development so the brand keeps compounding in the market.
For Japanese companies
Bringing a Japanese brand to North America?
Rather than hiring one salesperson overseas, JapanRep becomes your North American team — selling, opening accounts and building the relationships that grow a brand.
