GOING GLOBAL

The Process

THE BEST APPROACH TO LOCALIZATION

 

 

A Plan For Success 

Choose a country that is similar to the markets you know, language, units, time zones, currency, color psychology, corporate logo & slogan that are all easily digestible by your target. 

In Country Infrastructure  
Local Presence, customer service (multi-lingual) and localized translation review. 

Human Contribution

Above all, surround yourself in experts. Hire staff that truly understand the international landscape. Domestic employees have too much of a learning curve and this will cost you money and time in mistakes.
