February – export rate
This month we decided to reveal the topic of exports. Why? It’s very simple, we know that Ukrainian furniture is cool and high quality and can definitely compete with global brands. We also know that many of you consider yourself too young to export. But we will prove that you can do more than you think, you just need to believe in yourself and have the right knowledge.
We invite you to study at FURNITURE BUSINESS ACADEMY – our furniture business academy!
FBA is not just a training course, but a whole base of knowledge, materials and practical skills that we collect, adapt and create to provide you with everything you need to thrive in your business.
Importantly:
- FBA works only for UAFM’s members.
- Training is adapted to the needs of the furniture business.
During the year, you will receive educational videos on your e-mails, a new topic each month, and a new issue each week.
We announce: ” February is the export rate!”
