CindyInternational Web Marketing Mix
I often get requests from small businesses in different countries on how to develop international sales. It takes a lot of time and effort to run a business with limited manpower.
It’s tempting to look for easy solutions.
Requires Work
There are no miracles for international sales. It takes work. And probably more work than you imagine.
Can Be Easy
It can be easier than you imagine. A simple action strategy is all you need.
Demands Action
The hard part is taking action. Consistently. Even a little action is fine. This can even be ideal because it gives you and your business time to adapt to different cultures. So even small businesses can develop an international business.
Needs Good Marketing
But there is one thing the small businesses must not overlook. This is good marketing. You will have to adapt your products, your sales and your marketing to your foreign markets. You need to understand and implement good marketing practices. Of course, your good marketing practices will also help your domestic business.
A Source Of Inspiration
Successful marketing is about implementing a variety of different tactics. Ideally any small business should use about a dozen different marketing tactics AND try out a new one every month. This means you can tweak your marketing strategy to get better results.
Where can you get inspiration for different marketing methods? Of course there are the standard sources of marketing knowledge you should check out, simply Google “marketing strategy” and you will find them easily.
But I just recently found an incredible source of inspiration at:
