It’s an undeniable fact that Brexit will dramatically alter how your organisation conducts business outside of the country. Fortunately, much of the world is still clamouring for British-made goods and willing to pay up to 22 per cent more for them, according to research from Barclays Corporate Banking. This interest in British-made goods could contribute an estimated additional £3.45 billion to the economy each year.
Nearly half of young consumers between the ages of 25-34 outside the country said that they were likely to buy a product just because it was made in the UK. The most popular British-made goods are food, cars clothes and alcohol. To take advantage of the booming market for British-made goods, consider making these five simple changes:
- > Offer customers the option of paying with multiple types of currency.
- > Provide customers with the ability to change the language of your website.
- > Keep your shipping costs low.
- > Build and maintain an online presence on several different social media platforms, such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
- > Invest in search engine optimisation to ensure international customers can find your online store quickly and easily
