Your Common Industry Questions Answered: What Are International Market Entry Strategies?

If your company is ready to enter new markets, you may consider international expansion.

However, entering any new market can come with unforeseen challenges.

Companies who partner with market entry strategists get instant access to expert market knowledge informed by experience and singular focus on their future success.

Key components of international market entry strategies.

Common international market entry strategies.

There’s no single best way of entering international markets. Only a consultant who has years of experience guiding companies into new markets can do an in-depth analysis to find the best strategy for you and your company.

Direct Exporting

In direct exporting, companies sell products in new international markets. Instead of working through a third-party distributor, they market directly to an audience in a different country. Some businesses decide to work with agents to run a sales program once they’ve established a customer base in that new market.

Licensed Manufacturing

Licensing is ideal for when a manufacturer already has a large share of the market that a company is interested in entering. The company sells its product’s rights to the manufacturer, who then handles production and sales.

Franchising

Franchising has been widespread for years in the United States as a cost-effective way of expanding into new markets. It’s becoming a more popular option in international markets as well. It’s a fast way to enter a new market for companies with strong brand recognition and an easily reproducible business model.

Foreign Market Partnering

Finding partners in foreign markets is a common strategy, and consulting firms with experience in B2B matchmaking know how to generate strong relationships for future growth. No two partnerships are alike. With the help of market entry strategists, businesses can find partners and partnership structures that support their future development.
