International Advertising with FAS!

What Are Buyer Alerts?   FAS Buyer Alerts inform foreign buyers about
                         U.S. products and the companies that offer
                         them. This biweekly newsletter is distributed
                         by FAS directly via e-mail to international
                         buyers and promotes announcements to be read
                         by over 15,000 buyers in more than 100
                         countries. Buyer Alerts are available in
                         English, Spanish and Portuguese.

                         Whether a company has a new product or is new
                         to FAS services, Buyer Alerts are well worth
                         investigating: $30 million in sales were
                         attributed to this service in the last two
                         years. View an example at:
