Why? Because what resonates with your target audience will vary depending on their interests, culture, location, and more. It is your job, as a brand, to understand those differences and <strong>offer a personalized and localized experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep on reading and find out <strong>how a localized marketing strategy will help your business<\/strong> grow beyond your local context and conquer foreign markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a localization strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/blog\/localization-strategy\/\">localization strategy<\/a> is giving your time to think and analyze how a particular foreign market will react to you and your business. It&#8217;s about understanding the cultural differences that your new potential customers might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, a localization strategy is <strong>translating your brand communications in a way that resonates with your audience<\/strong> in a new market or country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essentially a blueprint for success showing how you\u2019re going to deliver your product or service to your end customer.

As we explained before, when you want to go from local markets to a globalized market, you need to do more than just translating your marketing messages and campaigns from their original language to the one used by your new target audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your marketing localization efforts are about&nbsp;thinking about the words and images, the expressions, tonality, inferences, and emotions. It&#8217;s about rewriting all your marketing materials for your new target markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Transcreation, not translation, is the name of the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that the best way to do this is <strong>having a marketing team for every market.<\/strong> We know, it sounds expensive. But the truth is that it will help you save hundreds of euros that could be wasted on advertising with very low conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Working with a local team <\/strong>will help not only with localization services but to understand the target market. It puts you at an advantage when it comes to speaking the target language natively, website localization, gaining access to local search engines, and building great brand awareness from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps for a successful localization marketing strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said&#8230; <strong>How can you localize your marketing?<\/strong> Here is a nine-step process that will help you master your global marketing strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" datatext=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1306\" height=\"921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4.png\" alt=\"Nine steps for a successful localization marketing strategy\" class=\"wp-image-9103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4.png 1306w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-768x542.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-50x35.png 50w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-288x203.png 288w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-576x406.png 576w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-339x239.png 339w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-678x478.png 678w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-373x263.png 373w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-746x526.png 746w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-691x487.png 691w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-973x686.png 973w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-1048x739.png 1048w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-478x337.png 478w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-956x674.png 956w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-516x364.png 516w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-1032x728.png 1032w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/08\/image-4-680x480.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1306px) 100vw, 1306px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Step #1: Change your creatives to match the needs and interests of each region. <\/strong>Without a doubt, foreign consumers believe a brand cares about them and their needs when it creates specific, customized advertising and marketing campaigns.<\/li><li><strong>Step #2: Check your product categories. <\/strong>Are your products easy to understand by the new market? Do you need to generate additional information to make it easier for them to understand? <\/li><li><strong>Step #3: Localize across digital and print. <\/strong>Make sure that your marketing campaign is relevant and useful for your new audience. You must also study what product features need to be highlighted so they resonate with them and give you a competitive advantage.<\/li><li><strong>Step #4: Localize your website. <\/strong>Local audiences prefer to read (and buy) in their native language. The marketing translation process needs to go beyond landing pages. It should actually cover the entire website. But as this will take some time, and resources, we want to encourage you to start with the most read pages and move forward.<\/li><li><strong>Step #5: Update your SEO. <\/strong>In the world of SEO, language matters. It needs to be considered slightly differently depending on the languages we use. So make sure to check all your page titles, descriptions, meta tags, headlines, and ALT texts.<\/li><li><strong>Step #6: Check your social media content. <\/strong>Would something posted for a US market resonate with a Spanish audience? Would the same ads help you reach your local goals? As we said before, you should consider having digital channels for each of the different markets, that way your content will be more aligned with their needs and interests.<\/li><li><strong>Step #7: Don&#8217;t forget about local regulations. <\/strong>Covering as many bases as you can make your local marketing efforts work just that little bit better. So make sure you understand what the regulations are in terms of advertising, data, and personal information use and storage.<\/li><li><strong>Step #8: Think about your customers. <\/strong>When breaking into foreign markets, it\u2019s essential to put yourself into your customer\u2019s shoes and see things from their point of view. Your marketing materials need to speak to them in the right tone and with the right design. This allows you to cut through the competitors and get those new consumers to pay attention to you.<\/li><li><strong>Step #9: Take time to study consumer behavior at the local market. <\/strong>Shopping habits are different from country to country. You will find consumers who want information that&#8217;s short and straight to the point. Others prefer a softer and more conversational tone. There are those who are used to cold calling and those who will just get scared away. Even payment methods and the way they share reviews can vary are different. Get familiar with your new audience and how they like to get approached. Don&#8217;t let your habits get in the way of your successful marketing localization process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing localization is not an easy process. Clearly, this is not about translating your marketing materials to the language of your new audience. It&#8217;s about hitting the nail on the head with new messages aligned to their needs and ways of buying. It&#8217;s about standing out from the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should note that your global marketing efforts will require a lot of time, tools, and commitment. You could say it is as much an art as it is a science. As such, having local marketing teams who can help you plan and execute your marketing within your desired territory is key to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of marketing localization in practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So far this is all theory, but<strong> how does marketing localization is applied to real-life advertising? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BMW is one of those brands that have mastered this subject. In the next two ads, you will see how they promote the BMW xDrive system to the United States and German markets. Two different audiences, one same product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first ad shown here was created for the German audience. A couple of things stand out at the first glance: language and colors. It&#8217;s mostly gray, black, and white. But if you take a closer look you will see that it focuses on informing about the car&#8217;s quality, its added value, technology, and performance given a specific amount of snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" datatext=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sortlist.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw.jpg\" alt=\"Marketing Localization: German BMW Marketing Campaign\" class=\"wp-image-4540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-768x379.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-1536x758.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-50x25.jpg 50w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-288x142.jpg 288w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-576x284.jpg 576w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-339x167.jpg 339w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-678x335.jpg 678w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-373x184.jpg 373w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-746x368.jpg 746w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-691x341.jpg 691w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-1382x682.jpg 1382w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-973x480.jpg 973w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-1048x517.jpg 1048w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-478x236.jpg 478w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-956x472.jpg 956w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-516x255.jpg 516w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-1032x510.jpg 1032w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-680x336.jpg 680w, https:\/\/cdn.blog.production.sortlist.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/marketing-localization-germany-bmw-1360x672.jpg 1360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second ad not only is in English as it is targeted at the American audience but it&#8217;s filled with light and brightness.

Here is a list of a few things that will help your localization strategy go without a hitch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You need to stay true to your core brand identity and ethos. But you also need to <strong>make your brand look and feel as if it\u2019s been created specifically for your new \u2018home market\u2019<\/strong>, irrespective of their native tongue, culture, or religion.<\/li><li>Consider <strong>launching country-specific social media channels <\/strong>to actively engage with the local community in their own language with their own culture.<\/li><li>Take time to <strong>understand your market and overcome cultural barriers.<\/strong> One great way to do this is through simple market research. It gives you a clear understanding of the purchasing habits of your new target audience.<\/li><li><strong>Use local experts to translate and adapt your content<\/strong>. They will use a language that feels familiar and local preferences that resonate with your market.<\/li><li><strong>Do not ignore body language.<\/strong> Signs and gestures have different meanings in different places around the globe. Remember, something that might be considered polite somewhere can be insulting in other places.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have covered all the basics for localized marketing, there is just one question pending: Are you ready to start? <strong>Remember the key to success relies on understanding your new market, working with local teams, and transcreating your content.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology has made the world a more connected place.
