International Marketing Intelligence and Planning for Small Businesses
International marketing occurs when a seller or small business with a product to sell directs its services towards potential consumers in another country other than the country it resides. Typically this is done when the product the business wishes to sell is believed to have more of a potential demand in foreign markets.
Market commitment
Marketing internationally requires a huge commitment, thus the seller of the product must be prepared to make this commitment. This requires much more genuine efforts than throwing money at a new exporting venture, even if the seller has the finances for this. The seller needs to establish an international presence. This entails not only thorough knowledge of the country that is chosen, but preferably closes contacts with those familiar in this area.
