National Vs. International Marketing

National vs. international marketing

If we really want to understand the difference between national vs international marketing we need to understand what marketing really means, "the efficient and effective management and utilization of a company's resources to meet the consumer's demands and the company's objectives. It involves selling the company's products to satisfy the needs of consumers."

On the other hand "international marketing is the promotion and sale of a company's products to consumers in different countries. It is very complex and requires a huge amount of financial resources." International marketing requires more time and effort, not to mention its being very risky too.

After understanding what each concept is important to detect the differences, for example, the market is very different, so it is essential to commercial research. There are also other elements such as changing

 International Competition: The local competitors (such as a competitive advantage it will have cast their awareness of their market and also is better accepted than ours) and international competitors (an important cost advantage because they are large and may take advantage of economies of scale)

 Selection of markets: As you can raise many alternatives, we must reject those who by their geographical location or by legal restrictions, or their culture or by the competition that there do not offer clear opportunities for the company.

 Selection modes of entry: We work with foreign distributors or local, we can make "joint venture" with some companies.

 Coordination MKT plans in each market: you will be goals that are different in the stock markets and also change. The objectives of the company prevail among market objectives. Avoid duplication, exploit synergies.

That's why, the international marketing is more important to the company because it is necessary to understand the product tropicalization needs and consumer culture to create a campaign that can accommodate this by creating and selling the need for the organization wants, so bring the product to the country that seek to penetrate in the marketplace.
