E-commerce is a necessity in the modern world. Having a digital presence and using E-commerce platforms to offer goods and services online is practically essential for D2C brands. Also, owing to the combined effects of global shipping and E-commerce platforms, the entire world has transformed into a single global marketplace. Brands can even become well-known and sell items in areas where they don’t typically conduct business.
However, it is not easy for a brand to scale their business globally, and there are certain challenges they will face. Analytics is the base of every business, and it is extremely crucial to analyze the market one is entering into by extensive research & specific eCommerce business intelligence.
Challenges brands face when it comes to selling globally
For one, there is a lack of data that is readily available for brands to use. This is data typically pertaining to how the product/service fits with the market the brand is selling in, its potential, and the competitive landscape. There is also the challenge of deciphering laws, regulations, and policy changes across the various geographies that a brand might expand to. To add to that, there is limited infrastructure and a cost inefficiency for in-house D2C fulfillment across different geographies. This is paired with a lack of expertise in positioning certain products/services and creating seamless customer experiences across different E-commerce platforms. Finally, the technological difficulties in integrating all the channels across marketplaces can also be a daunting task to do alone.
In this environment, it is important for your brand to have the right partner to guide you through the multi-layered challenges that one can face while navigating scaling their businesses on a global level.
