q: WHAT ARE MARKET ENTRY CHALLENGES YOUR CLIENTS FACE ?
There are all sorts of challenges businesses face when entering a new market. Firstly, one of the biggest hurdles we see is clients underestimating the difficulty of the entire endeavor. Failing to do their due diligence regarding pre-market entry and understanding specific market sensitivities would only impact the success of their expansion strategy.
Secondly, clients fall into the habit of doing the same things the way they’ve always done back home and think it’ll work in other parts of the world. This is mainly because they do not have sufficient local knowledge about the market sensitivities and fail to adapt their core brand message to resonate with the local audience. By doing so, they are unsuccessful at scaling in the new market, which brings us to the third reason, clients, therefore, cannot build trust and create long-term relationships with their unique audience.
Lastly, clients find it challenging to determine whom to forge strategic partnerships with within the new market. For instance, the partnership support from a marketing company such as ours would suffice; if it were an import/export business, additional support from the right retailers and e-commerce platforms would be just as vital to the success of your business expansion. Naturally, distribution requirements will vary from business to business, but knowing the right doors to knock on can be another daunting task and affect your market potential.
q: What Market entry solutions does Located GK offers?
That’s where we come in. We are a company dedicated to seeing businesses prosper in new markets. We help set our clients’ minds at ease as we guide them step by step in efficiently rolling out tailored market entry strategies to thrive in the market with confidence effectively. We also highlight channels with people of influence and other prospects for business growth.
Firstly, we believe that as a good consultant, we need to educate our clients about the full scope of market entry expectations leaving no stone unturned. As your partner, it is our job to advise you about all the challenges and opportunities from the get-go and throughout your entire market entry journey. Our data-driven market research and analysis help provide insights on local market trends and consumer purchasing trends and capture any findings that will help your business scale.
Secondly, we strongly encourage our clients to approach the market locally with their global intent in mind. We go beyond typical marketing translations and copywriting. We allow transcreation to work its magic. That entails profoundly understanding your brand and business goals so we can adapt those messages into ones that will resound powerfully with the local market. This can be done to address cultural, demographical, and even geographical factors that relate to the local market. The better they receive your message in a way that makes sense to them, the better they receive and trust your brand. Only then can you begin to enjoy the profits of scaling from building a long-term relationship with your new audience.
Last but certainly not least, Located GK possesses a network of business alliances in the US, Europe, and Asia that can genuinely assist in ramping up your market entry efforts. Our approach is to help source whatever your business requires to penetrate the market. We know the right doors to knock on to get your business’s right partnerships for success.
