You are ready to launch your product or service into other regions of the world and you believe that your only investment is translating the content about the product. However, by doing only this, your reach may be limited. For your product to be successful you must ensure that it will acclimate properly into the culture of the target country.
Research traditions of the culture you are targeting. For example, did you know that the number 4 is unlucky in Japan? Or that the Germans prefer to buy in person rather than online? This knowledge will prove valuable when you are marketing overseas.
Partner with a local company in the target country so that you have the clout of a locally recognized brand.
Provide instructions for how to enjoy your product. A pamphlet or DVD will guide consumers on how your product is to be used properly.
Product testing is imperative prior to launching a full market entry campaign. It is necessary to ensure that your products or services meet the functional and linguistic requirements of the local consumers.
Understand the currency exchange rate and taxes pertaining to the target market. It may be important to reevaluate your pricing structure to stay competitive with local competition.
Establish a post-sales team for customer support. This will demonstrate to your customers that you company value them and you will create long-term customer loyalty.
Localizing your product is vital in remaining globally competitive and will allow you a successful entry into your new market.
