Market entry strategies
To enter newmarkets you must first be aware of
the strategic opportunities that are available and
have the mental strength needed to undertake
a challenging journey. The next step is to
conduct the necessary research to understand
the market, determine the customer base and
identify any competitors. Exporters should
always be knowledgeable (have both business
knowledge and practical knowledge) about
the area you are embarking on. You should
determine your vision and know where you
see the business going. It is also important
to understand the tax, legal and business
environment in your target market. Always do
your homework when it comes to the legal and
tax requirements and be aware of the social
and cultural norms in the country. Exporters
should develop a detailed, yet flexible business
plan and have it reviewed by a trusted advisor or
seek professional help. Create a strong support
network consisting of mentors, an advisory
board and trusted associates. You can source
financing for your venture in the form of
personal savings, a loan, or even contact friends
for any possible assistance. Finally, companies
must acquire the right human resources and
tools and invest in them, track the progress of
