Key Takeaways
- Think about law, logistics and localisation before considering marketing to another country.
- You have to localise your messaging, rather than simply translating the content e.g. Portuguese in Portugal is very different to Portuguese in Brazil.
- Use data to inform your decision – target countries you already get some traffic from first.
- You need to invest in local/native support who really understand the culture and locale they’re writing about or for.
