The door of opportunity is open wider than ever and the whole globe now sits in our pockets, which means the global market is open to so many more of us than ever before. With instant communication across time zones and geographical locations, business networks can expand in ways never dreamed of before.
But taking advantage of this increasingly global world may prove challenging to those who haven’t ventured beyond their borders before. With cultural and legal considerations to make when interacting with other countries and locales, as well as the logistics of reaching other countries from your home base, it may prove beneficial to work alongside someone who has a pre-established network and a depth of expertise in this area.
Enter Prizeshark. Today, we are going to provide you with a comprehensive guide to how we can assist you in launching a successful global campaign, as well as the benefits and considerations you need to be aware of.
The Opportunity of Global Campaigns
Global campaigns cast wide the door of possibility, providing a way into new markets and a means of reaching the areas of the world where demand for your product or service is at its strongest. They allow you to open up to a global audience, reach your customers where they are and meet them in their own cultural and ideological sphere.
This means that you are no longer limited by the markets in your home country but can reach out into the world and find the places and people that suit your business the best. A global campaign offers the opportunity to tap into emerging markets where there are growing populations with disposable income, or to enter territories with less competition than elsewhere, allowing you to cement your brand as the top service in the local industry.
So, here are a few of the opportunities presented by running a Global Campaign:
Expanding Your Audience
Finding your customers is the number one consideration on whether a business will grow or fail. A business without customers isn’t able to do very much at all. But like many things in life, such as friendship and romantic partners, the chance that your best customers are just around the corner is a slim one.
Instead, we must expand our reach further afield to find those who connect with us most. By running a global campaign you can tap into markets and meet customers you didn’t know were waiting for you, allowing you to increase your sales and grow your business.
Tapping into Emerging Markets
Emerging markets and economies exist in nations that are in a period of strong growth but have not yet established themselves as powers on the global stage. Emerging markets offer the chance to engage with a rapidly expanding middle class, which means a large portion of disposable income, making them an excellent target audience.
Industries tend to be less established as emerging markets are not yet large enough to show up on others’ radars, providing the perfect opportunity to establish yourself as the trusted brand before your competitors show up. Finally, emerging markets respond extremely well to prize promotions as they offer opportunities to win things that are not easily affordable in their locale, meaning you can almost guarantee high engagement rates.
Reach Customers Where They Are
Many of us are already doing business online and may see that many of our products are popular in countries and regions we didn’t expect or anticipate. If we have found a target market in another region, it may be time to establish a footing in the region and beginning with a promotional campaign is the perfect way to raise awareness, create engagement and reach the customers you already have, exactly where they are.
Cultural Considerations in Marketing Global Campaigns
Of course, reaching the world is as simple as landing a ship, establishing a colony, and integrating the locals into your empire, somebody tried that once and the world was not happy about it…
We jest of course, but the point is when you enter into a global market, the cultural background, language, expectations, and customs are all going to be different than what you are used to. We are lucky to live in an English-speaking country and the English language is one of the global languages, but if we want to truly understand a market, we must know the people as if we were one of the locals.
Prizeshark’s global solutions work so well because we understand this consideration, and in our role as a specialised prizing agency we have taken the time to establish networks and make connections in all of the regions we operate out of. We do this so that we can help you to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
We understand success hinges on being prepared, and also on understanding what the local citizens of an area want, what is relevant to their lives and how we will reach out to them and connect to them in a way that resonates.
So, we have made the effort for you so we can provide excellent services across the globe and run international marketing campaigns for almost anybody, no matter where they are. Of course, alongside cultural considerations in creating and running a campaign, there are also legal considerations and local laws and regulations that must be followed, and our extensive knowledge and integrated networks take care of that for you too, to ensure you’re complying with local customs and rules.
Using Prizeshark to Maximise Engagement Worldwide
Of course, we talk about this because we want to help you expand your reach and we understand that prizes and promotions are a certified way to get there. Whether your audience is located in your home country, or halfway across the globe, the psychology and excitement of targeted incentives for global reach and well-executed prize promotions have a universal pull which can be utilised to achieve your goals across the globe.
As you have already seen, Prizeshark sees the opportunity to expand into new markets, as well as having a deep understanding of the cultural and legal considerations that need to be made when moving into foreign territory.
So, our expertise perfectly places us to run a global campaign from Europe to the Middle East, Australia to South America, and many places in between. In working with us to expand your reach and open up to global markets here are some of the things you can expect and the benefits we aim to deliver:
Drive Participation
Whatever the local market we will find a way to engage customers in your business and to drive participation towards your promotion, whilst understanding and delivering on the right incentives to encourage participation in the first place, ensuring a large audience will both see and engage with your campaign.
Enhance Brand Perception
By navigating the local culture like a local, understanding the nuances of the local market and economy, we can select and choose high-quality prizes that will have you stand out as a business worthy of trust and that delivers on quality. All of these will work together to cement you as a new contender in town and establish the first foothold of brand loyalty in the region.
Encourage Word-of-Mouth
And of course, our promotions will be so engaging they’ll create a twitter of excitement amongst those who engage with it and this will begin the spreading of the word about your business to friends and family. Word-of-mouth marketing is the strongest and most trusted form of marketing, and by pleasing those who participate in the promotion, you will have a veritable army of customers singing your good praises and further establishing your brand in the region.
Successful International Campaigns with Prizeshark
As experts in global prize fulfilment, we at Prizeshark have a proven track record of delivering successful global campaigns. One of our standout examples is the collaboration with high-profile influencer MrBeast and his Feastables brand in Australia.
Within 12 days of the initial contact, Prizeshark had managed to source and wrap several cars that were to be given away as part of a Feastables prize draw, hosted outside the Sydney Opera House. Having run into trouble sourcing the prizes themselves, Prizeshark stepped up to the challenge and by expertly managing logistics, managed to source the cars required and have them wrapped and detailed and delivered on time, whilst ensuring compliance with local regulations. The audience was left captivated by the prizes and the Feastables team could not have been happier with the job we had done.
MrBeast and his team had many praises and thanks for Prizeshark for their efforts in helping to promote the Feastables brand and ensure the event’s success, saying:
“I just want to say truly thank you so much for ALL your help. We could not have had this event without you & I can’t even express my appreciation! You’ve saved my life this week.”
They continued to express his gratitude for our role in the event, saying:
“I really do want to reiterate how grateful I am for your help in this process. You really did save the day…”
