Why Go Global?
Global Marketing
Considerations
• Controllable Elements (Micro)– Language and Translation– Price and Payment Methods– Research
• Uncontrollable Elements (Macro)– Competition– Legal Restraints– Cultural Considerations– Government Controls, Weather– Customer Behaviors
The environment within which a marketer must implement marketing plans differs dramatically from country to country and region to region. It’s up to the marketer to
adjust & adapt.

Customer Relationships– Training and Support– Scale

Why Go Global? • Start in English, Then Regionalize
• Consider Local Marketing Mix– Consult trusted translation companies– Social, Support & Customer Communications – Google adwords (Where applicable)– Regional & Local Events/Conferences– International Trade Publications– Regional list brokers for DM campaigns
• Test, Then Test Again!– The ideal marketing mix
Replicate initial marketing success, adapt to achieve ideal mix, then regionalize marketing activities to refine focus.
