INTERNATIONAL MARKETING WORKSHOP

Hungarian National Trading House in Budapest, Partner of the Interreg SKHU EYES project organised its interactive training focusing on the usefulness of international marketing for expanding abroad on 10th October, 2018.

International marketing is the application of marketing principles in more than one country, by companies overseas or across national borders. International marketing is based on an extension of a company’s local marketing strategy, with special attention paid to marketing identification, targeting, and decisions internationally.

As technology creates leaps in communication, transportation, and financial flows, the world continues to feel smaller and smaller. It is possible for companies and consumers to conduct business in almost any country around the world thanks to advances in international trade.

However, globalization has created just as many challenges as opportunities for brands that venture overseas. As consumers have so many more options for similar products, companies must ensure that their products are high in quality and affordability. Additionally, these products cannot be marketed identically across the globe.

In this event, the Absolvo Consulting expert Iván Gyurácz Németh explained how to best prepare for international marketing when traveling abroad.

The following themes were discussed:

• International Marketing- introduction
• Basics of go-to –market strategy
• Market research –how to make it most effective
• Sales and marketing channels
• Case Studies

The expert could also be available for one-on-one consultations after the presentation.
