8 Steps To Scale Your Amazon Brand to International Markets

So, your little business has been doing well for a while now, and you think it’s time to take it outside the borders of your native country? The world has become a global village, and new technologies enable you to market your products or services across multiple nations and time zones.

However, this exciting and efficient strategy comes with a slew of obstacles and problems you should be aware of before embarking on your once-in-a-lifetime entrepreneurial adventure.

Before we get into the knowledge and abilities needed to compete in the worldwide arena, it’s crucial to note that while solid, high-quality products or services are essential, they’re not enough to ensure your success.

To expand your business globally without making rookie mistakes, follow and practice these basic steps suggested by our guests Jana Krekic and Tom Meek, who are top experts in scaling businesses globally.

There are differences in how markets operate around the world, whether in the United States or Asia.

That’s why, before launching a new tech idea, it’s critical to spend time learning about local buying habits. The last thing you want to look like is an outsider who doesn’t understand foreign market demands, local customs, or regional lifestyles.

This entails creating policies, procedures and playbooks that adhere to local regulations while aligning with corporate policies.

Remember that even expanding to the UK may present some language challenges — you’d be surprised how much colloquialism affects your customer service approach, for example.

“Localization is more important than translation while selling on international marketplaces. You must do proper keyword research and not simply translate your text to the native language and expect to succeed. You can easily get lost in translation and confuse your potential customers if you just stick to your original text,” says Jana.
