Happy New Year to all of you, we wish you ambitious and successful international Projects for 2016 !
French market is significant but let’s think about high potential territories such as China, Russia, Middle-East or the US as well as all other countries that allow growth to French SMEs.
Nevertheless the identification of an opportunity is not sufficient. You have to raise all the rights questions in order to avoid reefs :
Product / Service
- Should you customize your product or its packaging in order to meet markets’ expectations while differentiating from competition and gaining market shares?
- Which products from your whole range should you export ?
- Should you get local certifications for your products ?
- Should you include financing and/or services into your “Product” ?
- How do you deal with After-Sales Service overseas ?
Price
- Should you increase your price in order to be perceived as a luxury product by the targeted customers ?
- Have you taken into account all logistics and customs clearance costs as well as the transfer pricing issue? Have you considered all tax aspects ?
Place
- What’s the best distribution channel in each market ?
- What’s the best legal framework to maximize your competitiveness ?
- Could we use the powerful social networks and develop e-commerce ?
Promotion
- Will your story-telling be efficient for all targeted markets?
Last but not least, how could you ensure you benefit from the best tools and supports?
Here are some of the questions the SME Manager has to deal with before exporting.
