Know where your international inquiries are coming from. Use free analytic tools to track your visitor’s country of origin. As patterns emerge, consider targeting social media ads to those specific countries or cities.
Focus on customer service and building loyalty. Respond to inquiries quickly and ship products within 24 hours after the order was placed. Have sufficient inventory on hand - back orders can kill future sales with the same buyer. Successful companies tell us that excellent customer service is key, especially when dealing with customers from different cultures and living in different time zones.
Consider adding video to your marketing mix. As video has become more pervasive online, it has also become more persuasive. Feedback from online buyers indicates that videos play a positive role in purchasing decisions. And they can help market your product to people who don’t speak your language. Ensure you convey a positive image of your product through high quality videos though because poorly made videos can negatively affect your sales.

Streamline shipping containers. Study packing techniques and save the customer money on shipping. Many companies ship products in oversized boxes which wastes space and makes the product more expensive for consumers.
Focus on countries that have trade agreements with your country. Target market that have a FTA with your country. If there’s a demand for your product, you can save your customer on average five percent of the purchase price if your countries have a FTA and your product meets the content requirement of the particular FTA.
