Jonathan Lynn @jonathanlynn presents Doho deal possible, needs political shove posted at Reuters saying “A new global commerce deal is within reach if World Trade Organisation members are willing to compromise to close the remaining gaps, trade ministers say.

Jane Ginn @SedonaCyberLink presents Outsourcing and Immigration – How Have Demographics Transformed the World Economy? posted at Sedona Cyber Link saying “At present birth rates, only a handful of developed countries will avoid seeing their populations decline significantly over the course of the 21st century. In the European Union, for example, not one member country has a fertility rate that ensures a growing population over the next decades.
In some countries, populations are declining drastically. In Russia, for example, the average life expectancy of Russian men has fallen below sixty, and birth rates reached historic lows. It is estimated that Russia’s ninety- million- member workforce will be reduced by fifteen million by the year 2020- due mainly to heart disease, smoking, and rampant alcoholic consumption, which has accounted for over a million deaths a year, primarily among working- age men. At the beginning of the 21st century, the probability of a Russian aged eighteen years surviving until retirement age was only 50 percent.”

For every small businesses selling to another country will cause some great challenges. It is important to understand the demographics of your foreign markets to help you make you more sales.
Often it is hard to get into the demographics of your international markets. It can be hard to stretch yourself to fully understand cultural differences and the consequences of those differences in your sales and marketing strategies.
This is also complicated by single language markets made up of many, many different cultures. You not only have one set of specific demographic characteristics. You can literally have dozens.
The best place to start is to determine specific demographic information for each of your target markets, and to move on from there. The process actually gets easier the more cultures you adapt to. Your company will get faster at understanding how to adapt to each different culture.
An interesting example was how MTV adapted its music to each country. There are two main factors that came in to play.
- Music is culturally different in each culture.
- MTV targets a younger audience and youth do not have the same lives in different cultures.
MTV realized early on that they needed to adapt their music to the culture in each country. This is fairly easy to understand.
What was interesting is that MTV realized that in some countries the vast majority of households only had one television set. Therefore their television shows would also have to be culturally acceptable to more than one generation. If an older generation was offended in any way, MTV would not be turned on.
Demographics do need to studied and defined for each culture. It is a very enriching experience. Fully understanding your international markets will show you the opportunities for your international business growth.

Gisela Clarke presents Dappermarkt – Where different cultures come together posted at Spotted By Locals saying “In the Dapperstraat in the Eastern part of Amsterdam you will find the Dapper market. The Dapper market is one of my favourite markets. It is one of the busiest and biggest markets of Amsterdam. During the week and especially on a Saturday it is always crowded with people from all over the city, and also with people that come from outside of Amsterdam, to do their shopping or to just look around and meet up with friends.”
Shelter Offshore presents Shopping for Expats posted at Shelter Offshore saying “There are no two ways about it, living overseas can be a fantastic experience – which is probably why so many of us think so seriously about giving it a go and becoming an expat.

Gfk Geomarketing presents Germany’s large cities are top shopping destinations for clothing posted at Germany-re.com saying “Germany’s 50 largest cities are responsible for around half of the nationwide turnover related to women’s, men’s and children’s outer garments, according to the results of a study by GfK GeoMarketing. The study demonstrates that turnover in these cities far exceeds the local purchasing power for clothing. According to GfK retail expert Olaf Petersen, this is a sign that city centers continue to exert a substantial retail draw with regard to clothing sales.”
Gao Shan and Fu Yiming present Iraqi Kurds cherish life in peace among strains with Baghdad posted at Xinhuanet saying “Looking down from the ancient citadel in the center of Arbil, the capital of Kurdistan autonomous region in northern Iraq, the view is a quiet and peaceful city with a quite different atmosphere from the war scene in Baghdad. The ancient citadel stands on a high plateau and is surrounded by mud-brick wall. It’s well-known of being one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. The narrow streets around the citadel are full of a huge crowd of people. Peddlers are to peddle the latest music CDs and sports T-shirts printed with the name of Soccer star Ronaldo in the streets by chanting. Some old men in traditional Kurdish dress sit beside fountains chatting leisurely. Looking farther away, ancient minarets share a skyline with some newly-built modern skyscrapers.”
