Therefore, 95 exporting industrial companies in both fields (62 food companies, 33 chemical companies) have been explored then the results were analyzed using the methods of the descriptive survey.

Here are the most important outcomes that had been reached in the study: 1- The amount of promotional activities executed by exporting industrial companies in both domains does not exceed 61%, which is considered a low percentage in general.

2- The promotional activities exerted by the working exporting companies in both sectors (food industries and Jordanian chemical industries) do have an effect on their industrial performance.

4- There are no differences in the effect of promotional activities on the exporting performance according to the type of the exporting company or its exporting experience or its sizes in both sectors.

Consequently, a number of recommendations had been reached based on the study's results for the consideration of the decision makers in these companies.
