European Market Entry

Why Europe?

Europe is a diverse and dynamic market, offering businesses a wide range of opportunities. With a population of over 700 million people, it is the largest single market in the world and presents businesses with an attractive and profitable opportunity to expand their operations and increase their revenues.

Europe is also home to some of the world’s leading companies, providing businesses with access to high-quality partners, suppliers, and customers. The European Union (EU) is also one of the world’s most advanced regulatory frameworks, providing businesses with a secure and predictable environment in which to operate.

Solution description (European Market Entry)

The key to a successful and sustainable entry into the European market is an elaborated marketing strategy. To ensure success, an in-depth market analysis should be conducted to gain an understanding of the local market environment, potential competitors and customers. This analysis should be used to develop a market entry strategy that takes into account the local mentality and culture.

In most cases, new international companies consider incorporating a legal entity in the country they are entering. However, this is only the first step in the evaluation process. Before this, it is important to identify a long-term business goal and define an individual business strategy.

Once the long-term business strategy has been established, an individual go-to-market approach should be defined to support the market entry strategy. This should take into account the brand, people and market. By creating an optimized market entry strategy that aligns marketing and sales organizations with multiple channels, and communicating the story to the right customer segment, the brand, products or services will have increased penetration in the European markets.

To ensure the success of the strategy, it is important to work closely with all stakeholders throughout the process. This will allow for frequent monitoring of goals and results of the tailored market entry strategy.

Customer reach

Your products or services may well be superior and many people may already know your brand in your home market. In Europe, however, you experience difficulties to get your product to market. We have seen this phenomenon many times before and in many ways, with companies coming from all around the world approaching the European market.

Sometimes it is the way people react to new products and services; sometimes it is the challenge to identify potential partners to do business with. Organizations usually benefit from localized professionals who know the market and know how to develop business within that market.
