Retailers’ Global Expansion Challenges
Whether you are selling physical products or digital services, your company can be based in one city, and sell to people in an entire country – or everywhere in the world. If your company is currently a United States-only operation, but you are experiencing a few years of significant success, you may be thinking about expansion.
Analyze your prime expansion challenges
It is tempting to charge ahead with an expansion into many different countries, but it is vital to take a moment and analyze the difficulties and challenges each expansion would pose.
For instance, what obstacles are present in the target markets in those countries? Would you need a new version of your site or mobile apps for each country?
Would you need to add several different payment partners and platforms to accept money from the citizens of those nations?
Could you offer the same shipping prices and/or speeds to those customers, and would they be happy with what you are offering?
There are so many questions that need answering, and this is without factoring in the costs associated with each potential expansion. A company must look at what markets are easiest to expand into – and where they could make the most money.
Then you can come up with a list of how you will expand your operation from a one-country company into a multi-national retailer.
