Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of promotional strategies implemented in Ecuador between 2020 and 2023 to boost honey and ginger exports to the United States. Using a quantitative, descriptive, and longitudinal approach, monthly data were collected from official sources to evaluate the product's export performance. Actions such as participation in international fairs, quality certifications, and digital campaigns were studied using statistical tools such as linear regression and correlation coefficients. The results show an average 15% increase in annual exports, attributed to the effectiveness of the strategies, with particular emphasis on the reach of digital campaigns and the establishment of trade fairs. External factors such as the pandemic and market seasonality were also considered. It is concluded that international promotion was key to the product's positioning, and it is recommended to strengthen digital campaigns, complement them with trade missions, obtain certifications, and foster coordination between sector stakeholders. The study offers recommendations for replicating this experience with other products, promoting a diversified and sustainable export offering.

I am a Foreign Trade Technology student, focused on the analysis of the processes that regulate international trade. Throughout my academic career, I have developed an interest in key topics such as imports, exports, trade agreements, and tariff structures—fundamental aspects of economic relations between countries. Although I do not yet have direct work experience in this field, my exposure to the commercial environment has strengthened my practical and theoretical understanding of the dynamics of global trade.
