eTrade in the United States and China

eTrade in the United States and China

The International eTrade initiative offers the possibility of validating your digital strategy in the two most important markets for online commerce: China and the United States. To make this possible, ACCIÓ offers you the local and specialized knowledge of its Field Offices to sustain the feasibility of your product or look for the most suitable suppliers.

Through the Field Offices, the company will receive full support during the implementation of its strategy in these two countries as regards several key aspects:

  • Market validation. Analysis of consumption of the online product, the consumer profile, the competition, or the search for the most suitable marketplaces.
  • Legal and barrier analysis. Analysis or support with the necessary registrations and procedures affecting the product, the incorporation of the company, the need for staff, or the analysis of barriers (tariffs, languages, trademark registration, or means of payment).
  • Product adaptation. Support in the process of adapting the product, pricing or communication strategy.

Due to its characteristics, support from China will also focus on analyzing the feasibility of entering products and services into the Chinese online market. On the other hand, in the US, implementation will also focus on analyzing logistic needs, finding suppliers, and developing a marketing plan.

This implementation service lasts two to six months for the company. Request it now or ask for more information!
