Copywriter for International Companies Targeting the American Market

You have a product or service that you’ve been selling in your country. But now you want to go bigger. Thinking of expanding and selling into the U.S. market? Because U.S. residency or citizenship is not required, non-U.S. citizens can readily sell into the U.S. The same applies to the countries in Europe. However, to target customers abroad you’ll have to translate, localize or completely redo your website and marketing materials.

If you’re targeting American consumers, hire a U.S. copywriter to develop the English copy for your website so it sounds localized.

Start with Writing Your Website

Having a website written in English is critical. It’s how prospective customers will find you and how they’ll verify to themselves that your company is legitimate. An English website will help you win credibility and trust among international clients.

If English isn’t your first language, you don’t want to write the copy yourself. You’ll want to hire a professional copywriter who is a native English speaker. Your copy must sound natural so your website visitors don’t become concerned about making a purchase from a foreign company.

A well-written English website can facilitate sales abroad and strengthen your brand.

An American copywriter with a strong marketing background can also guide you with regard to what’s important to people in your target market and what are their expectations.

A well-written English website enables your company to sell abroad, grow faster, strengthen your brand and improve conversion rates (turn visitors into customers).

Create Other Print Marketing Materials

While your website is likely to be your primary marketing tool, it doesn’t need to be your only one. Consider some of these other print sales materials that can help accelerate your company’s growth:

Brochure – Whether printed or digital (able to be emailed), a brochure can complement your website. It can give customers an overview of your company that they can refer to and save in their files, which in itself will help differentiate your company from competitors’.

Sales Letters – If you have a mailing list or can purchase one, well-written sales letters can be a great way to generate leads, which your sales team can then pursue.

Consider creating a digital brochure in English that you can email to prospects.

Email Campaigns – Certainly one of the most cost-effective marketing methods, a series of creative, informative emails can help you gain visibility with prospects.

Blog – Stay in touch with your customers and attract new business with informative blog posts that relate to your industry and position you as an authority in your field.

Press Releases – Make announcements via the media regarding significant achievements such as the opening of sales offices in a new country or the addition of a new product line.

A well-written blog can be a great way to stay top-of-mind with customers located around the world.

Landing Pages – Online landing pages are an excellent way to target specific niches. So, let’s say you sell a particular component for machines.

While your primary customers are manufacturers, you may want to target the military, which also could use your component. Set up a landing page that talks about your product and its specific benefits for military customers. Keep it tightly focused to ensure the interest of your military prospect.

A highly focused landing page is an effective way to target a specific niche, such as the military.

Think about the U.S. or European customer you’re targeting. Since they’re not local, you’re unlikely to meet with them in person. Therefore, your written sales materials need to become your surrogate sales people. Make sure they’re professionally written to present your company in the best light.
