The Ultimate Japanification Strategy to Learn How to Sell Your Products in Japan
The Classroom and the Real world
Hi Everyone,
When you try to sell in Japan, you have to understand that Japanese customers think differently from US and European customers.
The language is different – they use 3 different scripts of Japanese (plus English thrown in).
The package designs are different.
The product placements are different
The way the consumer thinks and shops is different.
The best way to learn how to localize and JAPANIFY your products is not on an online webinar but right there in the STORES in Japan.
And that’s exactly what you will experience at the 7 Figure Seller Japan Mastermind, where we’re going to take you on a guided tour of the BEST shopping center in Okinawa. It has a cornucopia of shops
- “The coolest store in Japan” with- stationary, arts and crafts, kids products, and more
- A local Japanese home furnishings store – great to get a feel how Japanese living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc are designed and what products in Japan look like
- Toy stores with local toys as well as international brands that have “Japanified” their packaging
- Pet shops – pay attention to the breeds of dogs and cats that are popular here – they even have cute pets in the shops so you can see
- Baby product stores and even play areas to observe Japanese kids’ toys, accessories, clothes,
- Dozens of Japanese Clothing stores, Fashion, Apparel, hats, accessories – Even “kawaii” products!
- Beauty
- Supplements
- Shoe stores
- Japanese Sporting goods
- Japanese Kitchen Supplies, knives and more
- Japanese coffee supplies
- The #1 Japan Outdoors and camping store
- The most successful retail shop in Japan
- Electronics, phone accessories
- And much more
In fact I just learned that some of these are the same retail stores that the sellers at the conference are selling in.
They may even be able to help you get your product into the same stores (This is priceless).
Why should you come?
The advantage of coming on our trip is that you will get a guided tour as you see these actual products in store for your specific niche.
You aren’t being guided around by an inexperienced tour guide.
You will be personally guided by 7 and 8 Figure Japan sellers and Japan selling experts to take you to the right shops, at the right place, and find and learn from the right products for your niche.
When you get there, the actual speakers will show you
- Why the products have this packaging
- How it will compare to your competitors
- Subtle things you need to pay attention to
- The posters and advertising used in Japan and how they’re different from the US and EU.
- Subtle things “stuck to products” that instantly builds trust for Japanese customers
- Ways Japanese brands are leveraging social media to attract Japanese customers
And the best part is they will show you how to do the same things for your products.
This will help you avoid mistakes and potentially offend Japanese customers as you localize your listings in Japan with your online images, titles, product description, packaging, and more.
Literally this is a real world masterclass for how to sell into Japan.
If you sell toys, we will take you to the Japanese toy store
If you sell baby products we will take you to the baby store
We will have experts behind you looking over your shoulder.
- What you need to pay attention to
- What you should take photos of
- And answer any questions you have along the way
The best part is that this is only one part of the 7 Figure Seller Japan Mastermind.
