The Two Key Objectives For International Market Research

Your international business development relies on thorough market research. International market research has two key objectives.

You need to address both of these objectives when you develop and implement your market research strategy.

Rationalize Risk

You need to have good knowledge of each specific country you reach. Good international market research will provide you with enough accurate statistics to help you rationalize your business risks.

You will also use this information in your international viability assessment. Before investing time and money into your international business expansion you should have some idea as to the viability of your efforts.

Of course you will not be able to cut out all risk completely. There is always the risk of surprise factors in international business.

Good market research will give you enough information to feel comfortable with the level of risk.

I personally have always aimed for at least being 80% sure of success. The satisfactory level for the level of risk will depend on many different factors. The more experience you have in international business development the easier it is to evaluate and appreciate.

The important point here is you need to give yourself enough information to evaluate your risk.

Get To Know Your Future International Clients

Most people think market research is learning about the market. In international market research you need to become familiar with the people. Not the market.

Why is this critical?

Simply because you will get to know your foreign market much better. Your international marketing is aimed at people. People in different countries are different. There is a good chance they will respond to your product or service in a different way to your regular domestic clients.

How can you expect your international marketing to effectively bring in clients if you are not marketing to them in the right way for them?

The important point here is to always concentrate on understanding the people, the person, your international client.

The Challenge For International Success

When you first start to develop your business in a new country, you can get bogged down in getting used to different procedures. There is a danger of abandoning your international market research.

This is the challenge. Your international market research gets you started. It also keeps your international expansion going.

You need to set up a simple process for your international market research and keep at it, without stopping.

• This is how you will develop your business through the different stages of international business.
• This is also how you will be able to spot new business opportunities, or know when to revise your business strategy.

The International Sales Road Map in the Get International Business Guides is an easy process. It is great for businesses with limited manpower and budgets to spend on their first international business development plan.

The International Sales Road Map incorporates all of the key actions for international business success, including international market research. The important key is to keep in action.

Global Website Development Mixed With Traditional International Marketing In An International Internet Business Plan

One way for internet marketers or brick and mortar companies to plan for their international business expansion is to look at the progressions in

• Websites as they move towards global business websites
• The different stages of traditional international marketing towards global business marketing

This can help businesses to

• Clearly identify where they are today on the scale of international business
• Create an International Internet Business Plan

Progression Towards Website Globalization

It is very interesting to note the online marketing progression today goes:

• From website internationalization = domestic website + all foreign & domestic markets
• To website localization = one foreign website + one foreign market
• To website globalization = all foreign websites + all foreign markets

There is a distinct trend for good global websites today to use website templates throughout all of their country websites. This makes the process easier, quicker and cheaper to manage.

So the progression is towards one website template used for all markets. Read more

Basic Outline For Cross Cultural Online Marketing

Cross cultural researchers have studied different behavioral values in different cultures. Geert Hofstede researched this a few decades ago.

And these different behavioral values are outlined extensively in the book The Culturally Customized Web Site.

What Are The Different Cultural Behaviors You Can Market To?

Basically The Culturally Customized Web Site outlines that different cultures have different ways of behaving along 5 different scales.

• High Individualism versus High Collectivism Behavior
• High versus Low Uncertainty Avoidance Behavior
• High versus Low Power Distance Behavior
• High Masculinity versus High Femininity Behavior
• High versus Low Context Behavior

These different behavior scales can be used by international internet marketers. Marketing towards these behavioral needs gives internet marketers tools to play with and tweak to get better responses from different countries and cultures.

This is especially helpful, if you are marketing to another country at the opposite end of one or more of these scales to your country.
