OBJECTIVE
The Featured Export Service Provider (FESP) program offered by the U.S. Commercial Service offers both U.S. and non-U.S. professional service providers the ability to promote their services to U.S. exporters via the Web.
FESP is designed to help U.S. exporters identify professional export service providers in their local communities, or in another state or region, to assist them in the assessment, completion, or financing of an export transaction.
Featured Export Service Providers gain visibility for their products and services within the exporting community via participation in the FESP.
PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES AND PRICE
U.S. and non-U.S. professional service companies have the option to promote their company on one or more U.S. websites. A listing on a U.S. website costs $250 (per year, per listing) and includes the following:
- Detailed company description (maximum 500 words)
- Company logo
- Company contact information
- Corporate website link
- Multiple listings thereafter can be purchased at a reduced price ($75 each). Annual renewals of FESP listings are offered at a discount ($135 each).
Participating companies can expect to receive initial counseling on the FESP service and a navigational tour of CS websites. During the registration process, clients will receive the specifications for a FESP listing, such as text limits, graphic requirements, etc.
Participating companies will also receive information regarding client responsibilities and CS quality assurances. Upon receipt of payment, the CS will complete a short qualification review of the participating client. Website development for the FESP listing will begin immediately thereafter.
