The differences between domestic market entry strategy and foreign market entry strategy

The differences between domestic market entry strategy and foreign market entry strategy

Before creating a market entry strategy, you have to choose if you want to expand your business internationally or grow your business power in your home country. The choice depends on your budget, your aims, and the size of your business.

Besides, domestic market entry is easies, because you do not have to learn new skills and acquire new knowledge. Your current and new domestic market are similar, considering culture, economic level, and level of competition.

However, an international market entry gives you more opportunities for the growth and development of your business. I agree, it is a challenge for the business but I do hope that you do not give up after the first obstacle.

If you choose the international market entry strategy, you have to consider several factors before selecting the market: cultural distance, administrative distance, economic distance, and market potential.

Cultural distance impacts the way messages, concerning the ability of the product or service to satisfy the needs and wants of the target audience, are received and interpreted. Culture is one of the most challenging aspects while selecting a new foreign market.

Administrative distance exists due to different bureaucratic, working, and political structures prevalent in host countries. Different government policies are an important source of administrative distance.

Economic distance is a measure of economic inequality between the two countries. Firms find it easy to deal with host countries that are close in the economic distance because they have similar market segments that use similar types of products and services.

The market potential is one of the most important explanatory factors in country attractiveness. We study the market size, growth, competition, target audience, predict demand for products or services to estimate the potential of your target market.

Things you should consider during developing the market entry strategy

a) The risks of entry

Entry to a new market is attractive to businesses due to its advantages, and promising extra income. Overall, it can be risky. As a business person, you should get a review of your aims to develop a detailed plan of entering a new market. You are never going to be 100% sure in the successful market entry, but the help of an experienced marketing agency can minimize the risks.

Ultimately companies must try new things and take risks to flourish — that is the nature of entrepreneurship. If you break the daunting project of new market entry into a rational step by step process, it is much easier to see the whole picture and avoid failure. Start by gaining a thorough understanding of the new market, ensure that you have sufficient internal capabilities, and do not be discouraged by losing small battles along the way.

b) The cost of the market entry strategy

The budget is the pain point of most business owners. I am confident that you do not want to spend more than it needed, so you have to set a budget for the new market entry process.

We honor the business achievements of our clients and put our backs into their cases. On average, the creation of the digital market entry strategy costs €6,000. But the price depends on the size of your business, your business aims, and your target market. I can assure you that the results of the strategy will impress you.

c) The expected outcome of entering the market

A new market can provide new sources of revenue, higher ROI (Returns on Investments), and secure long-term success for a business. The digital strategy can even easier to reach out to the world for business.

One more point to remember, you cannot sell your product to everyone. If you try to make a product that meets everyone’s needs, that product does not appeal to any particular group of consumers. Also, trying to please everyone will almost certainly cause you to panic and be overwhelmed by all the demands you try to satisfy. Do not fall into that trap.
