Marketing strategies are a different thing and we will talk about them later on, however, there is one thing that every online retailer must do in order to get a great impact.

So, here is a Christmas check list for your localization strategy.

Check Your Audience

You may have heard it before, but knowing your audience is the first step. It is not just about finding their age groups and their preferences, however, they do matter. So when you begin your localization process, you need to know your audience and see where they are from, what age group and what ethnic they belong to.

Know Your Keywords

You already have your keywords, good. Now you need to gather them and send them to your translation service provider because he is going to dress them up in Holiday Cheer! When you are localizing your website, your keywords will change. The meaning will remain the same, but they will be altered according to the language.

Once have set your keywords, the translation service team will make their different versions in different languages. They may take the synonym of your keywords and make LSI keywords for maximum impact.

Localize, But Smartly

There is a reason why you need to hire a translation service provider to localize your website for Christmas. When you know your audience and share the data with them, they will localize your website not for the language, but for the region where your clients are. This will make sure that you get maximum impact for your Christmas sale and marketing.

Translate Everything

When it comes to localizing, you must not let anything get away. This means that in addition to your home page, about us page and every other popular page, you will also need to translate your buttons, images with texts, error messages, pop-ups, menus, forms, footers, ALT tags, headers and your URL. This also means that you need to translate all of your product descriptions, your Meta Descriptions and your rates for the products.

Once you have done all that you need to work on localizing your marketing strategy for your region. Keep them in mind when you are negotiating with your translation service provider, because this will be something you need to know.
