How To Expand Your Halal Business Globally?

What Do You Need To Focus On To Go Global?

1. Develop a professional team which is ambitious, and is ready to understand the international business environment in various markets of your choice. The dream team could be you only or a number of people who share your vision to expand globally and are willing to learn the nitty-gritty details of all the aspects of doing business internationally.

2. As a first step, the team should be actively looking for opportunities in various markets and the changing economic trends in different regions of the world. They also need to know the buying behaviors of the Muslim population in the country of your interest

3. Consult a local business development expert who understands the local market and culture to help you make decisions on the tastes, choice of products, packaging, size and color choices, etc. You may know during these consulting sessions that, some of your products may not be appealing to the local Muslim population due to lifestyle differences. So, you have to adapt your product offerings for a smooth expansion into the market in question.

4. Spend your budget wisely. Prioritize the tasks needed to penetrate the market in question. Create an awareness in the target market about your products and/or services by having effective online visibility. Spread the word about your products via social media (preferably in the local language). This is important for creating demand even before you actually start exporting to that country.
