Online Export Market Research

Entering any export market requires an investment in time and money. Market research helps you to minimize your risk and get the most rapid return. We undertake online export market research and consultancy to help companies to decide which markets to enter and how to do it.

Market Selection

The fact is that some markets are easier to enter than others. Market size, local online competitors, regulations, price levels, shipping costs, currency fluctuations, local taxes, weather, approvals, legislation, cultural factors, geography, time zones and political stability can all affect your chances of success. Key phrase demand and competition also give useful indicators of how difficult it will be to become visible in the local market.

So careful selection of your target export markets is vitally important. Our process helps you to identify the market which will give you the best return and the least risk of failure.

In addition we will help you to factor in other considerations such as your company’s capacity to enter and gain market share in large and difficult markets. For example if you can grow your business by 50% by entering the Netherlands market, why not go there first, rather than tackle the US?

International sales strategy

We can advise you on your international sales strategy in new countries on subjects such as how you will support your ongoing marketing efforts, how to do your physical distribution, which products to sell, and whether you should use your UK staff or third parties to handle all of the key tasks in growing your operations in the countries concerned.
