How much Foreign companies earn from Pakistan?

[FuturePAF]

Trust is based on perceptions not necessarily von facts. Fyi.

A mix of marketing and quality control may do the trick if the economics are right. The price point of Pakistani products need to be reasonably lower then imports, and Pakistanis should encourage each other of buying local where possible. One marketing angle is certain brands support the occupation of Palestine, and people should know that before they purchase their products.

L'Oreal, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sabra Dipping Co., Israeli sourced Diamonds, Victoria Secret, AirBnB, Wix.com, Viber, Catepillar, Motorola, Hewlett Packard

These are just some companies that maybe doing business in Pakistan and are supporting the occupation. Marketing coupled with awareness will have Pakistani people turn away from these product especially, and open up local options. A boycott doesn't have to be at the level of the government (because then problem with foreign countries complain about trade barriers), but just mass marketing by private entities can let people decide for themselves.

You are barking up the wrong tree... I'm talking about general public perceptions about foreign companies versus local ones.

Example, Nestle sells water and so does your local Babaji Water co. People would pay extra for Nestle because they believe that the Nestle is offering them pure water and quality water versus the Babaji Co. It's not me... It's the common consumer's perceptions.

Blind taste tests and studies done to show quality control have convinced american consumers to buy generic products, the same can be done in Pakistan. Plus Nestle just filters local water, the people must know that nestle isn't shipping in water from overseas. Its time for these local industries to shape up now that we have a pro-growth, pro-business government in office.

The trend all over the world is local. Label where the product comes from and conscientious people will do the right thing. In U.S. people are even willing to pa uh more for local.

You are talking facts ... I am talking about preceptions ... Perceptions may or may not be based on facts, personal experience, bias, rumours, or falsehoods.b

Perceptions can be changed. It will take time, and maybe new brands with better reputations selling similar products will need to be formed, but what do we have to lose other than our valuable foreign exchange importing products.

Do we have any members on here that are marketing experts, and could outline a strategy to change perceptions.

because even though these countries made junk which people in Europe and U.S. once purchased only because it was cheap today these countries produce top notch products only because over the years the industry has matured and come either on par or in instances exceeded their western counterparts. .

Japan always has made very high quality products. Im afraid a review of history is in order if you have been told otherwise. When they made cheaper quality products they were also cheap in price and offered for people to choose if you want a cheap product or an better one. Today its not at all cost effective for a Japanese company to make a low quality product because its not cost effective. Cant sell anything at a low price.

You will have to bare the pain of buying low end to have your industry grow on par with the rest ..

So you want me to pay someone else for a inferior product so that they might maybe someday produce a better product? For how long?

Sorry sir, better products come thru better design, craftsmanship and quality control AND a market for the product .
Pakistan used to make excellent sitars, wood furniture and many other products . but the market is gone thru decline of craftsmanship and disinterest .


Please understand that and maybe someday you might be able to produce a better product.

The trend all over the world is local. Label where the product comes from and conscientious people will do the right thing. In U.S. people are even willing to pa uh more for local.

incorrect . World trend is towards global products. best value for money. there is very little interest in local products.
Yes consumers are willing to pay more for local products , but only for products which are of Superior quality. In these markets all products are weighed in terms of quality and are priced competitively . Even if you're buying local made products, the price premium wouldn't be more than 10%.

I don't know what you are trying to prove... here read something from 30 years ago

https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/09/arts/made-in-japan-without-the-inferiority-complex.html

Fact is Japan was how China is or has been... so much that Japan was THE largest currency manipulator and still continues to be a blueprint China followed to the T. Besides, I don't know if you've been living in a jar but the whole up and coming is buying local not only for millennials but the protectionist policies of far right parties in Europe and U.S.. If you have missed it Trump has basically been putting the global economy in jeopardy by putting red tape, tariffs and calling people to buy American.

Regarding Japan, the article refers ( " Half a century ago")to pre-war ( world war II) products. at that time the perception in the United states might have been that Japanese products a sub-par, but Japanese products have always been high quality.
Automotive and electronics are a new sector of products hence initialy the US population may not be aware. In the Second world war Japanese put out machinery ( aircraft, war ships and vehicles )which was amongst the best in the world. That expertise doesnt happen overnight.

Refering to your quest of millennials/far Right asking for local products, there might be a voice but the products do not reflect that there has been any change in the on-shelf products which are as always global products.
Ofcourse whoever says Chinese products are quality products may want to check to see what perception chinese have of their products. 99% of Chinese products are garbage. which self destruct after a certain period.

Hmmm.... Eventhough Japanese products started improving after second world war popular perception in U.S. into late 70s early 80s was inferior quality until in 80s when Japanese started bringing topnotch product and innovation thst took time. It wasn't until 80s that Americans started really buying Japanese cars now Koreans went through exactly the same phase yet eventhough their electronics have turned the corner their cars haven't found the same acceptability. Chinese for long were known for cheap subpar products but now their brands are finding worldwide acceptance. Lastly, I don't know if you checked the stats because they already refute your argument. Besides, I don't really want to waste my time feeding you in small portions. Go figure...

What product ( class) specifically was inferior in the 70-80s? Americans started buying Japanese cars in the 80 wasn't due to quality, rather due to the fact that Japanese design criteria was different than what Americans prefered.
Similarly, electronic products had/(still have ) different design criteria, even today if you go to Japan you can buy VCRs and DVD players which are considered obsolete in many other countries. It doesnt mean they are inferior, just that the design criteria is different.
Quality reflects in the durability of the product and features. Chinese products copy features of others but the durability and safety of products is non existent. They are trying , but We'll see. (South)Koreans products are in fact much better then Chinese but again thats because South Korea always had an industrial sector which was advanced.

Incidently I believe Japan is home to world's oldest corporations some of which are 500+ year old.
