Out of this experience, in 2001 BuyersGuide Corp. executed the "Nurturing Project for Export-Oriented Small and Medium-Size Companies" to help firms produce their overseas marketing and promotional materials (catalogs, e-books, e-catalogs, websites), package design, and translation/interpretation.

BG now has more than 500,000 overseas buyers listed, and an effective strategic online marketing service is also available as a result.
