Selling your products internationally can be tricky for many reasons; you need to comply with local laws, reduce your currency conversion risk, find the right logistics partners and understand your local consumer.
At this next month’s Fashion Without Borders event key panel sessions will demystify the challenges of cross-border trade, and will provide you with advice and guidance from industry experts who have been there and done it, and at scale.
The first panel session, moderated by Transform’s Joe Tarragano, will explore how to capture the local approach when selling into a new market.
Experts from TranslateMedia, Search Laboratory and Fits Me will discuss the importance of applying a localised approach and understanding how user journeys differ from market to market. They will show that localisation is not just about translating product names and descriptions, but selecting the right products, understanding the local lingo and capturing the essence of the local culture when considering sizing guidelines, relevant imagery and preferred payments methods.
Spaces at Fashion Without Borders are limited, so register to reserve your place for the 17th September.
