Easy Guidelines For Writing International English
October 13, 2008 by 
cindy
Do you need to communicate with a broad international audience?
Is your website an international website?
Here are some easy guidelines to follow to write better for an international audience:
American Or British
First, decide whether you will be using American or British spelling and vocabulary. There is no quick and easy rule here. Ask yourself where this will be read most.
- Will it be read by a majority of non-native English speakers located in former British colonies, in the European Union? If so, then British English might be your best choice.
- Are you writing for an American company? If so, then American English might be your best choice.
This is a strategic marketing decision.
Remember, with regards to writing International English, neither choice is right or wrong. It depends on who will be reading it and who you represent.
- You can internationalize both American and British English.
Once you choose whether you will write in American or British English, you then need to conform to the appropriate standard English usage. Be logical, literal and precise.
Strip All Cultural References
Before you begin to internationalize your content, you need to take away all specific cultural flavor. Get rid of:
- All cultural references.
- All colloquial phrases
Once you have a text devoid of cultural images, language and reference points, you can then edit your text for easy international comprehension.
Simplify Your English
People do not always use simple grammar. We complicate sentences.
Non-native English speakers will understand your content much better if you:
Use:
- Short sentences
- Simple sentences
- Verbs in your sentences
- Complete sentences
- Words with only one meaning
- Easy to pronounce words
- Positive writing
- Lists
- A glossary
Avoid using:
- Verbs with “ing” where it is not appropriate
- The passive voice
- Adverbs
- Abbreviations and acronyms
- Wordiness and redundant text
- Numerical dates
- Long paragraphs
- Semi-colons
- Quotation marks
- Too much punctuation
Clarify Grammar
Here are some things you must always use properly:
- Clear pronouns
- “ing” words
- If…then
- Reference to something that is previously said
- The placement of descriptive words
Clarify Content
To help non-native English speakers understand your content, you need to:
- Be precise.
- Give explanations, directions where there might be confusion or a question.
- Make each sentence short and clear.
- Keep one thought per sentence.
- Keep one topic per paragraph.
Writing International English
Are your grammar lessons are a bit fuzzy? Don’t worry, writing in International English is not an exact science.
It takes good cross-cultural communication skills. And it also takes practice and experience in both writing and in international communication in general, to write one text to appeal to a broad international audience.

Flexibility In Your International Marketing Plan
October 10, 2008 by cindy
Yesterday we looked at how it is important to incorporate flexibility into your international marketing plan. We also saw how you need feedback and the ability to maintain marketing accountability.
Incorporating flexibility into your international marketing plan will help you to:
- Adjust your marketing as you learn more about your foreign clients
- Avoid cultural blunders through feedback
- Avoid bad business decisions by listening to the feedback you get
Flexibility helps you change. It helps you to know when to respond. And, also how to respond.
But how can you include flexibility in your international marketing plan and still maintain marketing accountability?
This is where creating a process is important.
First let’s look at naming 4 steps in the process of incorporating flexibility into your marketing plan.
1 - Feedback
It all starts with feedback from your new foreign markets.
This is the process through which you acquire international business intelligence. This intelligence helps you improve all of your international business strategies.
The first step in to collect feedback from your international audience, prospects and clients. Everything counts.
2 - Assessment
Then you need to digest this information. It may not seem obvious, but you must not immediately make assumptions. Your assumptions will probably be culturally tainted… and they could be false.
You need to look at this information objectively.
3 - Understanding
This leads to the third step of understanding your international markets. This does not come from your own logic. It is almost like a light bulb going off. You need to meet your foreign markets outside of your own comfortable environment.
This is where you can understand the feedback you get from your foreign markets.
4 - Change
And once you understand the feedback you can look at your current marketing plan and make adjustments. You now have both the international business intelligence and the foreign market understanding.
Part Of Your Marketing Plan
By outlining these 4 steps you can plan for them. You can add them into your international marketing plan. And allow for the time and means necessary for required change.
How do you add them into your plan? Being aware of this process and these steps is already a good part of the process. A simple validation procedure or checking point is usually all you need.
- Does the feedback you have match your current international marketing plan?
- Do you need to take the time to assess this information?
- Is there any reason to dig deeper, to understand your feedback better?
And if you need to adjust your international marketing plan…
…then make the necessary changes as quickly as you can.
Better International Business Results
Effective cross-cultural marketing requires good right brain skills. This is why it can appear difficult to bring marketing accountability into your international marketing plan. But you simply need to identify the right process, and the right elements to measure.
Once you have established where you need to place these questions into your marketing plan, it becomes easy to evaluate and measure.
Many cultural blunders happen because businesses:
- Do not stimulate foreign market feedback enough.
- Do not take the time to assess and understand this feedback - they make their own assumptions too quickly.
- Do not make the changes their foreign market indicates they want.
If you do not have international business experience, you find this difficult to grasp fully. Simply ask yourself these questions at key moments, milestones, or when you take action in your foreign market.
Seasoned international business professionals use similar processes to maintain flexibility. But this process is often unconscious and they apply it continuously throughout all of their tasks.

The 3 Differences In Your International Marketing Plan
October 9, 2008 by cindy
Do you already have a marketing plan for your domestic business? Do you need an international marketing plan too?
Of course you can guess that these 2 marketing plans will not be the same. There are 3 differences you need to incorporate into your international marketing plan.
Feedback
When marketing to different markets abroad you must stimulate market feedback. In fact this needs to be one of your top priorities right from the beginning.
When you first start targeting a foreign country you will need to adjust your communication and your marketing and sales strategies.
It is important to understand how your communication is received in a different culture. And this takes time to understand well.
As you get to know your foreign markets you still need to pay attention. In order to seize business opportunities, and avoid bad decisions, you need to know what is going on.
Place a high priority on stimulating feedback in your international marketing plan.
Flexibility
Again, it is all about getting to know markets that are different from your home market.
As you get to know and understand these new prospects better you will need to adjust your marketing. Simply put:
Your international prospects react differently to your products.
These differences may be very subtle. They can also appear at any stage of your international business. But if you stimulate feedback and listen for these differences you can:
- Improve your international results.
- Become present in your foreign markets.
A little time spent double checking your strategies can save you time, money and cultural blunders. So, plan for flexibility. Include a process of evaluations, and room for change, in your international marketing plan.
Viability
In an international marketing plan you need to include even more elements of marketing accountability. The viability of your international endeavors may depend on this.
What does this mean? Here is a simple action plan:
- Review your international marketing plan
- Create a process
- Include steps that can be measured
- Review these steps for relevancy
- Use this process to create accountability
- Review results for viability
This gives your business the tools to make the right decisions to grow in foreign markets. Include a process for marketing accountability in your international marketing plan.
Use Your International Marketing Plan
Incorporate these 3 elements in your international marketing plan and add one more. Next all you need is to:
- Put your international marketing plan into action.
Even if you start with the most basic marketing plan, all you really need is to take action and give priority to these 3 differences. Your market feedback, flexibility and viability analysis will guide you through the rest.

3 Reasons To Start With Integrated Marketing
October 8, 2008 by cindy
Integrated marketing is on most marketing managers’ agendas today. The reason why it is on most agendas is because it strengthens all of your marketing actions. It has become an essential part of business.
What is integrated marketing communications?
It is the process of ensuring relevancy and consistency for each prospect and client in all your brand communications.
When It Is Challenging
Integrated marketing can be a challenge. It is not always easy to implement the processes needed for effective integrated marketing into existing marketing plans.
What makes this challenging?
- The number of communication channels.
- The apparent variety in prospect profiles today.
Easy For Communication In New Markets
Imagine starting a completely new communication strategy. A communication strategy with a clean slate. And in a new market. One you are just beginning to develop.
It would be easy to include integrated marketing processes right from the start. And here is what makes it easy:
- Your focused efforts on your new markets
- Your need for feedback from your new markets
- The limited number of communication channels you will have in the beginning
There is a distinct advantage in establishing an effective integrated marketing strategy when you begin to develop a new foreign market. It is easier to establish when starting a new communication strategy, compared to an established communication strategy.
One Message For One Foreign Market
When you create your first communication plan for a new foreign market you usually find it easy to concentrate on creating an integrated marketing message. This usually happens naturally as part of the process.
Integrated marketing creates effective communication across different media platforms.
Your market research is fresh and you naturally want to stimulate more international business intelligence through your communication.
Even if your communications with your foreign market are limited in the number of channels you use, you will probably use good integrated marketing practices.
Integrated marketing comes in to play with creating good website templates for multiple localized websites.
Stimulate Feedback To Create Action
When you first communicate with a new foreign market you want feedback.
In fact, if you are smart, you will also create your first communication to actually stimulate feedback from your new foreign market.
- You try to get your readers to take action: give you feedback.
Again, this is also very similar to your goals in integrated marketing:
- Moving prospects from a state of awareness to taking action.
With feedback it is easy to move into the next step…
Tracking and testing become a part of optimizing results for both the international marketer and the integrated marketer.
Step Into Integrated Marketing
Implementing an integrated marketing plan right from the start of your international business development makes good sense. Here are the reasons why:
- You get all of the value of an integrated marketing plan.
- You develop your international markets faster.
- You create a structure you can measure.
- You track and test results for marketing accountability.
- You create a base to measure international viability.
An Added Bonus
Integrated marketing for new foreign markets can also favorably influence your integrated marketing for your domestic markets:
- The extra strategy and focused targeting required.
- The simple integrated marketing model you create for your foreign markets.
Good international business development usually elevates the level of company-wide business practices. This is probably the “expense” of international business today:
- Investing the time and effort in establishing great business practices.
Many would agree this is a good option.

Are You An International Exporter?
October 7, 2008 by cindy
Do you sell products to international clients?
There is a difference in:
- Selling the products and services your company makes to your direct clients, business-to-business or consumers.
- Selling other peoples products and services to either resellers or direct clients.
Readers are sometimes confused on where they need to look for foreign buyers. This confusion leads many international sellers to ask me to sell their products for them. They mistake me for an international sales agent or importer.
I help people define their international sales strategy, find the offer they need to see to a specific foreign market, and I also write content with these objective.
Sales agents and importers actually bring in the wares.
They come into play one step after what I do.
What Exactly Do You Do?
It is important to take the time to read Step 1 of the International Sales Road Map and identify your international business platform and your specific needs:
Please read this business guide and these 2 articles in particular :
- 5 Traditional Marketing Steps To Become An International Business
- 7 Traditional Paths To International Business Development
If you are still not clear about what type of international business you have and how to find the right partners for your business online, then sign up for the Get International Clients newsletter.
This weekly newsletter is an Action Guide for the International Sales Road Map. In the first 8 weeks through the first cycle of 8 steps you will go through a series of questions.
Answering these questions will get you to position your international business and find where you fit.
You need to clearly identify your business activity. This will help you to identify:
- Others in your area of business
- The information you need
- And the right words to use in your Google search
Exporters
- Do you call yourself a “seller”?
- Do you sell products?
Then you are an exporter.
Exporters can be:
- Companies that specialize solely in selling products from other companies to foreign clients. They have no domestic business.
- Businesses with a domestic activity opening up to foreign clients. This can be the first step to develop international markets.
How To Find International Buyers
Exporters need to find lists of people interested in buying or importing.
Just like exporters, importers can be:
- Companies that specialize solely in buying products from abroad to sell to others.
- Businesses with a domestic activity opening up to foreign clients. This can be the first step to develop international markets.
To find the best match to sell your products you need to know who you will sell to.
As you research your international buyers or importers you need to look for your best opportunities.
Will your buyers be
- Importers?
- Companies who need your product?
Your answer to this question will determine who you need to approach.
An easy option is also to hire an international agent. This person can do all of the work for you.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both options, which I will cover later.
And remember, you still need to do some marketing. Don’t expect resellers and agents to carry full responsibility for your product’s marketing.
Towards International Business
As your export business grows, you understand and learn more about your international markets. Despite this, many exporters remain exporters. They never develop an international business.
There are other factors involved. but…
The reason behind this can be choice, or a lack of specific international market intelligence.
Here is an example of a logical progression from an exporter to an international business.
- You export directly to businesses who use your products.
- You will probably learn enough about your particular market to move into the next phase of international business.
- This is where begin to develop one country at a time and begin International Marketing.
This is how some exporter businesses move into becoming international businesses.
- They carry out international marketing, one specific country at a time.
- They gather market intelligence through carrying out their business.
- They use this market intelligence to adapt your sales process and products to different markets.
To develop your export business fully you need to use the appropriate business model and marketing.
And also…
To develop your export business into an international business you need to apply the right business models and marketing strategies.

Cultural Differences In Standard Work Schedules
October 6, 2008 by cindy
When conducting international business you need to be aware of cultural differences in how business is carried out in other countries.
One of the first things you should not overlook is that some cultures have a different definition for their standard work week.
Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The differences in standard work weeks are varied.
There are two advantages to reading further:
- You can easily annoy prospective clients by not respecting their standard work schedules.
- You can get more value out of adjusting the time, or day, or even the week you choose to communicate with your foreign clients.
Different Days Of The Week
Some countries do not have the same work week. Monday through Friday is common in English speaking countries.
In Muslim-majority countries the legal work week in the Middle East is not the same as many other countries.
- It is Saturday through Wednesday in Algeria and Saudi Arabia, so their weekend is Thursday and Friday.
- It is Saturday through Thursday in Iran so their weekend is Friday (however, many government offices and private companies are closed on Thursdays)
- It is Sunday through Thursday in Egypt, Syria, United Arab Emirates so their weekend is Friday Saturday
Shorter Work Week
Fridays are not always a good time to schedule international telephone conferences. In some countries employees traditionally work an hour or a half day less on Fridays. The time difference between participants can create bad feelings, or low attendance.
The American state of Utah , state employees started following a “TGIT” experiment earlier this year. As in: “Thank God It’s Thursday.”
In a yearlong experiment aimed at reducing the state’s energy costs and commuters’ gasoline expenses, Utah is about to become the first state to switch to a four-day workweek for thousands of government employees.
They will put in 10-hour days, Monday through Thursday, and have Fridays off, freeing them to golf, shop, spend time with the kids or do anything else that strikes their fancy. They will get paid the same as before.
Government Employees And Local Customs
The example above is about state employees.
In many countries government employees work slightly different work weeks compared to people in the business sectors. And the professional categories of “government employees” is not the same in every country.
Some countries have very strict laws about working on the weekend, where everything is closed.
Lighter Work Months
And don’t forget cultural differences on when people traditionally take their annual vacations. In France many people take their annual vacation in August.
In a not so distant past, business in Paris was considered as coming to a total standstill in August every year. Although this is not 100% true across all industries today, you still need to factor this in. And driving in Paris in August is still different than the rest of the year.
And there are also countries where the work schedule is influenced by religious events over several weeks in a year.
Develop Your Basic International Skills
Of course the list above can be useful.
But do not rely solely on this list, or any other list you may find, when planning your calendars. It is always best to ask the people concerned yourself.
In fact, the key to this article is something else.
It is important to develop your international awareness to different lifestyles and different business environments.
Imagine if you want to develop your client relationships with someone whose weekend is different than yours.
- How would he feel if you called him on his weekend?
- How would he feel if you called him during his work week, but it was your weekend?
You can symbolically meet your client on his ground, by going out of your way to call him on his day at work and your day off.
Many delays happen in international business development simply because business are unaware of the local work week schedule.
Imagine if you need something important from someone minutes before the end of his work week or the beginning of his month long vacation?
- Is it a good idea to schedule an important cold call on September 1st to someone who has probably been out of the office most of August or who is trying to catch up with colleagues for the first time in a month?
As you become familiar with different work habits you will begin to acquire basic international business skills.
Respect for differences in standard work schedules is one of the first steps. This respect also leads to maintaining an open mind and the flexibility to deal with different business environments.
