International expansion / marketplace expansion

Enter new countries or marketplaces, with a realistic assessment of effort, opportunities and risks.

When expansion is underestimated.

New markets are more than a switch you flip.

  • Expansion is underestimated as a simple "flip the switch" process
  • Differences in taxes, logistics and marketplace rules are recognized too late
  • Language and local search terms are only superficially translated instead of localized
  • Resources for new markets are missing because the existing business takes priority
  • Without a clear sequence, too many markets are tackled at the same time
