Discusses the state of direct marketing and what channels are available for companies to use direct marketing.

Direct marketing in Mali is not feasible. U.S. firms should seek a local agent or distributor who speaks French and is familiar with local business practices and regulatory requirements. The U.S. Embassy Commercial Office can provide an Agent/Distributor Service (ADS) to firms that make a request through a U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center (visit https://www.export.gov/Contact-Us for a listing of Export Assistance Centers).

Prepared by our U.S. Embassies abroad. With its network of 108 offices across the United States and in more than 75 countries, the U.S. Commercial Service of the U.S. Department of Commerce utilizes its global presence and international marketing expertise to help U.S. companies sell their products and services worldwide.
