Latin America’s business potential is too impressive to be ignored. But the region is a set of fragmented markets, posing a challenge to those willing to expand. So what’s the best approach to start selling in LATAM?
For those willing to expand their business, Latin America remains still a region of treasures and opportunities. It is also a melting pot of markets, each with different habits and needs, currencies, and payment ecosystems, making it hard for merchants to deal with it all by themselves. So, what’s the best approach to start selling in LATAM?
In this article, we’ll guide you through a sure-fire 3-step strategy to outpace the challenge of entering a region with which you have no familiarity.
1. Get inside the Latin American market
Latin America has a potential that cannot be ignored. The region is birth to two of the leading emerging markets, Brazil and Mexico, home to 659 million inhabitants (2019) from more than 14 different cultures, and its GDP amounts to USD 10.9 trillion (2019). As for e-commerce, the digital buyer penetration rate is growing and revenues, indicating a promising future boosted by the pandemic.
2. Partner with a local expert
Given that LATAM is fragmented, one of the best business practices you should implement is to localize your strategy. It becomes a must-have to partner with an experienced expert who will advise you on matters as broad as language barriers, infrastructure issues, consumers’ shopping habits, and preferences, taxation and regulations, and pricing and payment systems.
