National Product Marketing Centers
Thursday February 18, 2021 61 Hussein Thahab A conversation that transcends the national product in the country and its positive role in economic life, because of the positives it achieves for our country, which seeks economic development Sustainable.
Most people have an idea of a quality local product, and sometimes we see that when we go around the local markets, but there is a retreat in marketing mechanisms for all products.Local.
Reality requires that we have specialized centers to exclusively display the national product. This coincides with a continuous campaign through the media that supports and directs the citizen to the places where these centers are located, which must have management that takes into account the methods of promotion Globalism.
Talking about a national product, without adequate details, is incomplete and inconsistent with the development goals that Iraq seeks, according to which the trend is towards activating production and reducing large financial allocations, which are directed to import various products that are made in various global economies.
We return to the crux of the matter and stand at the establishment of specialized centers for the quality local product, especially since we know that the national product is manufactured according to the qualitative specifications, which makes it imperative for everyone to move towards these products, from a national drive that benefits all groups of society without Exception.
The presence of centers to display the national product, along with advanced marketing mechanisms, lead to achieving positive results that reach the largest company in society and enhance the demand for it, and this represents our goal for the next stage, especially since the national products left a positive imprint on the Iraqi family during previous decades, and this matter facilitates the mission Promotional.
