International Ecommerce Expansion
Embarking on an international expansion is a monumental step for any brand, one that promises both immense potential and unique challenges. At Pattern, we can help you chart a digital-first path to global success, ensuring your brand not only crosses borders but also wins hearts, minds, and market share.
Best in Class Market Assessment
International expansion projects typically begin with a comprehensive market assessment, where we employ a multifaceted lens to evaluate the most fertile grounds for your brand’s global flourish.
We analyse a range of macro factors such as the target audience demographics, cultural nuances, prevalent shopping channels, currency, language and delivery preferences, as well as the competitive landscape. Our goal is to pinpoint the markets where your brand’s products and story will resonate the most.
Channel Selection
Next, we navigate the digital landscape to ascertain which channels will be your brand’s best conduits to reach your new international audience. We assess whether a direct-to-consumer ecommerce website or marketplaces would be the ideal platform to showcase your offerings.
Our experts then prioritise which channels to conquer first, forming a clear, strategic sequence of launch.
International Expansion Launch Plan
But our support doesn’t stop at planning. We roll up our sleeves and delve into the nitty-gritty of developing an all-encompassing digital-first international launch plan tailored for your selected market. This plan encompasses everything from resourcing and platform selections to digital marketing investments, ensuring every base is covered and every opportunity seized.
We will also devise channel-specific action plans, outlining all the jobs to be done for a successful channel launch. From content creation to customer service setup, logistics and legalities, we leave no stone unturned. Plus, we provide you with topline cost estimates, so you can make informed decisions that align with your budget and aspirations.
