I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have a soap product from Israel that my company would like to distribute in the Middle East region. However, we cannot sell it as a product from Israel or else we'll get in trouble with the Ministry of Interior in UAE where we are based.
To be safe, we thought of saying it is from Palestine but the product's owner vehemently says no.
The product, an olive soap, is available in the US, Europe, and some parts of Asia. It is a very good product and a bit rare. The oil used comes from the second pressing of the olives. It is then mixed with herbs or plants for additional beautifying properties.
We thought of WOM as the only marketing approach but I am convinced that there must be other ways to promote this product.
Hope to receive helpful suggestions from you guys.
Many thanks!
Susan
