This is because the product name and his package design change depending on the sales channel.

Even if you already have your own products and are thinking about building overseas sales channels, it is very effective to use existing sales channels.

  • First of all, the overwhelming initial cost is different.
  • Can he just change the package for overseas?
  • Do we have to modify the products for overseas markets?
  • Are there needs?
