International Business Growth

Global business can be a highly profitable and rewarding objective, but is fraught with many challenges.

Traditionally, businesses begin trading internationally by exporting as this is the least expensive and least risky way of doing business. Some companies will go on to appoint local agents or distributors. Large corporations with strong financial backing may setup offices or acquire local businesses.

Each stage of international business carries different risks, with the biggest obstacle being that of language and culture.

Many CEO's believe that the only way to find and support global customers is to employ staff across the world to deal with local demand; however this can be a costly mistake.

Reactive Strategy vs. Proactive

Most businesses take a reactive approach to international trade - receiving an enquiry from a business in Barcelona, does not necessarily mean there must be a high demand in Spain.

With international market testing, you can avoid the cost of employing international staff, and use your website to market your product and/or service across the globe. A website in 10 languages will be understood by over 80% of the world's online population. By creating and promoting multilingual micro sites (based on your English website), you can attract millions of visitors that otherwise would not have found you in the search engines. From your visitor statistics, you will be able to see the number of visitors, measure enquires, and even serve international orders, depending on your business.

Proactive market testing will identify the markets with greatest demand, enabling you to make an informed decision about your strategy.
