It is not enough to just have a website. With the ease of online shopping, it is easier than ever to purchase products from your website. If you want to make sales outside of your country and be a global player, you need to do some work in marketing and advertising your product internationally. Here are the top five ways for sharing products internationally.
Keep your product on relevant e-commerce sites
Many of the top e-commerce sites have international reach. This means that your products can be seen worldwide. With some sites, you may have to pay a commission for their services, so it may not be worth your time if you’re not selling in large volumes. However, this is a good option to look into because it will give your products more visibility.
Be on social media
If you want to find success abroad, be on social media websites. This is the best and easiest way to connect with people around the world. You can have a Facebook account in English as well as each of your other languages, like French or Spanish. Then, when you post something, it will automatically show up in those languages.
Find a local distributor in the country of destination
One way to share your product internationally is to find a local distributor in the country of destination. Let’s say you have an online store that sells clothes, and you want to sell your products in France. You would need to find a distributor who will sell your clothes for you. There are plenty of distributors around the world who specialize in specific types of products and services. If you’re looking for one near France, there are plenty of companies on Alibaba that seem like they could fulfill this role.
To find a local distributor in the country of destination, check out Alibaba or similar websites for companies with offices in the area where you want to sell. You can also search for local distributors on Google or LinkedIn by searching for “distributor [name of country]”. Once you’ve found one, contact them and set up a meeting to discuss how they can help you get your products into their country.
Send your products abroad
The first way to share your product internationally is by sending it abroad. You can have your products sent to a country or you can send samples of your products. For example, if you are a clothing company you could send some of your clothes to a store in another country and ask them to feature your product on their website. This can help introduce your brand to that country and make sales.
Build relationships with customers in other countries
The best way to share products internationally is to build relationships with customers in those other countries. This can be done by providing a language option on your website, by shipping to the customer’s country, or by partnering with someone who can speak that language and provide customer service. Let’s say you sell items specifically for people with curly hair. You want to target potential clients in Brazil but don’t know Portuguese. Partnering with someone who can speak Portuguese and provide customer service would help you reach customers in Brazil.
This is one of the most effective methods for sharing products internationally because it builds long-lasting relationships with customers all around the world. And when it comes time to purchase more items, they’ll know where to go.
