Spotlight: Printler flattens out the learning curve when expanding


Written by Lotte Andkjær Christensen

 

This week's Spotlight is by Marco Wimmer, VP of Marketing & Growth in Printler, a Swedish platform that connects thousands of independent artists globally with millions of art lovers at a global scale.

“A good way to expand into new markets is to start very lean: let your website get indexed in a new country and start with a more aggressive marketing program a little bit later. Don’t do it all at the same time if you can afford it. 

That was very surprising because usually if you start a new market, you have to overspend a lot in the beginning but by being present in the market already and starting a marketing program more aggressively later on has helped us flatten out this learning curve.”

 

Learning community

While we know each brand’s international growth story is different, there’s a lot we can learn from each other.
