What Is Fair Trade?Fair trade is an international alternative trading system designed to empower disadvantaged farmers, artisans, and labourers. The movement began 50 years ago when international aid organizations worked to help farmers and labourers in Africa break free from oppressive trading practices. These inequitable trading practices still exist today.Farmers and artisans in developing countries rely on intermediaries for market information and trade. These middlemen usually pay less than market price and keep the producers trapped in a cycle of poverty. Small-scale farmers cant afford to produce the crop. They cant afford the overhead or their financings interest rates. They abandon their farms, or, in the case of some cocoa producers, they employ unpaid workers, often children.Through fair trade, farmers and artisans deal directly with members of fair trade organizations, bypassing the middleman and receiving a fair and sustainable wage for their work. According to the Fair Trade Federation, the goal of a member organization is to benefit the artisans they work with, not maximize profits. By reducing the number of middlemen and minimizing overhead costs, FTOs (fair trade organizations) return up to 40 percent of the retail price of an item to the producer. Producers receive a fair wage for their product, children are not exploited, and long-term relationships are encouraged to provide continuity in trading. Fair trade considers the enduring well-being of the person behind the product.Who Decides Whats Fair?In Canada, the Fair Trade Certified logo is managed by TransFair Canada, a nonprofit organization that belongs to the international Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO). Use of the logo comes with very strict rules and terms, to which all members are bound by contract.The Canadian Fair Trade Certified logo is applied to product-specific items only, meaning that the product, not the company, is certified as fair trade. On the other hand, the Fair Trade Federation logo identifies the company as a certified member. Two of the largest members in the US are Ten Thousand Villages and SERRV International.The Fair Trade Federation and FLO monitor their producers and members. They ensure that the playing field of trade is level and fair. For the consumer, these logos assure that the goods are produced in environmentally responsible conditions and that the cultures and communities of the worker are respected and sustained.Is It Working?Yes. According to the Fair Trade Federation, sales for Ten Thousand Villages in the US and Canada between 1985 and 1998 increased by nearly $15 million, creating over 12,000 full-time jobs for artisans and farmers.As more consumers use their purchasing power for social justice, large corporations consider the fair trade alternative. Currently, there are 117 Canadian fair trade licensees, and 44 source countries are registered with the FLO. Todays fair trade products include crafts, coffee, tea, chocolate, soaps, cosmetics, sugar, and fruit. Coming soon are wines, nuts, oils, and more.

HA!?May not my best reaches.Let"s try a little bit.:If your learnings, are like me, in the year of 1988 colleague entry segment display, our nation then, not yet have BUSINESS SCHOOL. Then ONLY business related majors with business are hold by MOFTEC internal ministry college like:贸院。So, when, if you take that period time of old fashion studies about business, then, you may feel a little bit confused, there should be a major called trade marketing.Because at then, we, our countries do not have our ministry of commercial yet like State. We have only MOFTEC instead.That"s reason why, may you raise this question for so long time-being era means course.Today"s management issue and management science, named the all marketing practice the MarCom.So a there won"t be a our lined old college course trade marketing in dued to be replayed or carry on from real time job assignment.For the learning course modernization point of view, sales and marketing are all related with trade.;In the meantime, SALE and MARKETING now in the business school, of course including trade part content.At the old times, our nations we do not have market this defination and marketing this course, we only have country import and export business to earn foreign currency for the nation ONLY. So no full-scale business course supplied, and the all teaching text books are all focus on then what we already have in our nation.So, to seperate the trade part content today, from the mains of business school learnings,that"s not the international standard to communicate with even if old clients.But, when you indeed need a old style job vacancy or officer to carry on the specified job assignment like old time trade - in market - marketing from the allies, they may not understand what you mean. But you need to know this is indeed your own operational unit specialties and on job training course insider"s business-know-how to do your company"s that job work in time in position in time.So, if by learning point of view, trade marketing then, may from marketing in general today.Trade marketing for your company, need your individual effort contributions and input to your own belongings add-on to work your way. This is how free market countries, every business unit they all keep extremely confidential when talking about private owned competetive-advantages to survive in a so very much firece fight market as survival skills.At last , let"s get back to if there are what you prepare to have:Sales OperationTrade MarketingSales Operations:can be defined whatever the company need to reach the last customer-end to make this turn-round change the company product to cash revenue.Trade MarketingMarketing, means to promote sales whatever.But, there is no cash-returned and end-user final downpayment in defined textbook teachings. They need professional sales-man to collect customer"s money for every piece of sales.Marketing guy are so premium to overall in control of national or even international sales promotions. If we use a oil industry word, Marketing will be the up-line or upper-stream for the sales to carry on specified job assignment to open a contract and in the meantime to finish contract dued.If by strategy tier the highest point of view, use product life-cycle illustrations to show how the company"s every business going and turn-round, that will be very clear:1.RD;2.Marketing;3.Sales;4.AS.The very format and the international standard to any business operations in this world for their routine business goings.

品牌的意思呀

brand 商标,含义比较广,包含标志,含义,以及整个效应等 make 标志, 只代表那个图案,符号,可以是商标,也可以路标等等标志, trade mark 商业标志,和make差不多,但是多了一重商务的含义

统称商标，trademark是个泛称，brand代表一种烙刻感，譬如说用来形容浮雕和刻雕的商标是最好的；logo带有企业设计和企业理念的一种文化折射感很强的东西，其实说白了就是很炫的东西。具体用法也有不同。牛津字典里这样注释：logo：organization"s emblem used in display material;brand:make of goods,=lable,usually discribe characteristic kind;trademark:device or name legally registered to represent a company or product.

BRAND的是品牌 主要是文字上的TRADEMARK 是商标 防伪啊注册啊什么的

brand 商标,含义比较广,包含标志,含义,以及整个效应等 make 标志, 只代表那个图案,符号,可以是商标,也可以路标等等标志, trade mark 商业标志,和make差不多,但是多了一重商务的含义
