Do you ever think about taking your business to the next level? We are of course talking about reaching for international sales and conquering a greater market. It’s a fantastic possibility, regardless of whether you are offering customers services or products. Going international can take your company into the big leagues. But how do you enter the international markets with ease?
Marketing
First, make sure that you are changing your marketing as you need to. Selling locally versus internationally is vastly specific and requires different marketing strategies. It’s important to change up your marketing based on the region you are trying to sell to.
An example of this online would be landing pages. Make sure that your landing pages are designed for the audience you are targetting. While regional identifiers should be considered, you should also focus on the language. Do not settle for Google Translate either. It’s notoriously terrible. Instead, make sure that you paying for a professional translation of your page that international customers can easily use.
Online Purchases
Make sure that your website is set up to handle purchases in different currencies. Luckily, companies like BlueSnap make this easy with software you can count on to sell in 100+ currencies and accept payments from shoppers around the world. Ultimately this is exactly what you want when you move to the international playing field.
However, there’s also more risk at this level. That’s why you should make sure that you are using a secure payment processor. Often, when you use a service to handle payments, this is included in the purchase. Be sure to research this and secure your international setup.
Merchandise Shipping
You will need to make sure that you are handling shipping of products the right way. Determining how to get the products to international customers can present a few challenges. Can you deliver the products at a fair price? How will you protect the quality of your products upon delivery? Basically, you need to save money where you can while still keeping your customers happy with your service.
If you don’t want to handle the logistics yourself, there are various companies who specialize in this service. You will need to pay a fee obviously, but it could be a lot cheaper than handling the setup and fixing the situation yourself.
Take this advice, and you can storm the international market with your enterprise, winning fantastic new sale levels as a reward.
