Study Traditional Paths To International Business Development For Online Success

Study Traditional Paths To International Business Development

It used to be that when a business wanted to expand internationally, they did one of sever things:

* Sell Directly To Foreign Clients From The Home Offices
* Hire A Sales Agent To Sell To Foreign Markets
* Find Foreign Distribution
* Open A Local Office To Represent Your Business
* Develop An International Franchise
* Enter Into A Joint-Venture
* Create An Overseas Subsidiary


There are advantages and disadvantages to each of these options.

Today we also have International Internet Marketing that opens a new doorway.

Many online businesses have international clients. Some online businesses actively market to international audiences, but most do not. Some online businesses are only slightly aware that they have international clients. It is easier to stay with one domestic website and kid yourself you are marketing globally because "the internet is global".

Even fewer international online businesses use a mixture of both online and offline marketing channels. And yet this is obviously the right thing to do. A good mixture of multi-channel marketing gets more international sales. Good multi-channel marketing requires serious foreign market research for best results. And it often requires a budget few small businesses want to get into.

Online businesses actively marketing to their international audiences need to stop, and take a few steps away from their online business, to look at the other paths to successful international expansion.

There are a few traditional business development strategies that might be interesting to look into. Hiring a sales agent in your target foreign market, who gets paid on commission, is an option most online businesses could look into.

Online businesses can tumble into international sales without any preparation. This is a wonderful opportunity to look closer at all of the options for international expansion.
