Define your goals. For example, is your main objective to increase revenue, brand awareness, customer base or improve your product?</p> <p>2. Determine which markets you want to prioritize. During this stage, you’ll identify the markets that represent the largest opportunities, but you’ll also assess the required resources for expansion and whether it’s the right timing to launch your product.</p> <p>3. Build a strategy. At this stage, you’ll need to decide which departments of your company (local or headquarters) will be responsible for the expansion, what your marketing and entry strategy will be, and which key features to include in these strategies.</p> <p>For more information about key considerations for expanding into global markets, check out our co-created resources through our partnership with MaRS in the <a href="https://app.marsdd.com/international/" target="_blank">International Growth Collection</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordian responsivegrid aem-GridColumn--tablet--10 aem-GridColumn--default--none aem-GridColumn--phone--none aem-GridColumn--phone--12 aem-GridColumn--tablet--none aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--8 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--2 aem-GridColumn--offset--phone--0 aem-GridColumn--offset--tablet--1"> <div class="panel " aria-label="What resources can I use to help accelerate market entry and boost my chances of international success?
