There are over 1 Billion buyers worldwide and e-commerce sales are expected to be over 1.5 TRILLION dollars in 2014 (Source: eMarketer) — that is 20% higher than 2013! The international market is a HUGE opportunity for online retailers and it’s only getting bigger.
International buyers want U.S. products and buying directly from the source is usually much cheaper than buying from a retailer in their own country.
Easy First Step – Start with English Speaking Countries
One simple method to get started is to start selling into the main English speaking countries such as Canada, the UK and Australia.
- Along with the U.S., these countries represent 44% of the entire international e-commerce market.
- Communication with these buyers is easy since English is the main language used.
- All of these countries have good internet coverage and developed postal infrastructures already established, so packages can be easily delivered to the buyer.
