Product Concept Testing and Validation for International Expansion
From small artisan food producers all the way through to well-known supermarkets, effective overseas growth has become a key method of generating revenue in a crowded marketplace.
However, in order to ensure that your international expansion efforts have the highest probability of success, ensuring you understand market needs and how your product or service addresses those needs is vital. Often, in order to establish whether products are successful in a target market, testing and validation exercises are carried out.
We can support you throughout the whole process, from preparing your international product, through to translating and collating reports from consumer feedback.
