BACKGROUND INFORMATION

International marketing can be described as the tactics and methods used to market products and services in multiple countries. This could be in the form of import/export, franchising, licensing, and online sales. Local marketing is essentially the tactics and strategy utilised to market products and/or services in a local economy. Normally, this takes form as more market penetration, product development and in some cases, diversification. Each country embodies a unique test for marketers because of culture, language, laws, and other factors. These challenges can also be present on regional and local levels which require even more targeted techniques. The decisions to do business internationally and launch an international marketing campaign could be any of the examples noted below (not an exhaustive list): • Expanding brand awareness • Economic growth in a country • New commerce laws • Untapped or underserved markets • International partnerships/joint ventures Launching a global or a local marketing operation can be simple or extremely complicated, depending on a number of factors, e.g., market research, marketing budget, the marketing mix, etc. There are much wider cultural and linguistic differences, time and distance considerations, as well as wider differences in economic structures and regulations.
