Adapting Products To Different Markets

by on 2 September, 2008

International Business Development

If you read my articles here or on Get International Clients, you know how important I feel international market research is to your international success.

You know, as a copywriter, I often listen to the A-list copywriters.

These copywriters often create and sell their own products.

When foreign students ask them whether their products work in foreign markets, of course most of them are caught off guard. Invariably they answer something like:

Well I sell my products abroad, so my methods must work in other countries.

This answer always annoys me.

American Copywriters Teaching Foreigners Their Skills

These are copywriting gurus. When you want to study copywriting you have to study American copywriting. Of course they sell their products abroad. Abroad there is no other choice.

Good copywriting skills are vital for any online business. Successful businessman of all different native languages pay small fortunes for fast track private tuition with top American copywriters.

They do this to learn how things work and then:

  • To adapt their copywriting skills to their own cultures.
  • To learn English copywriting skills for global business.

Different Markets

That is private tuition and training. What about the products in a box created by these copywriters?

You need specific market research to see how well a product works in a different culture.

Good copywriters have the expertise it takes to write winning product launches.

They gain this expertise because they spend hours, days, weeks and months, and yes let’s continue… even years studying specific markets within their own country beforehand.

Why is a foreign market any different?
