Hey everyone, it’s Hailey, your Chief Storyteller at Global-e!

Our team at Global-e never stops improving and moving forward to help you get things done and find new ways to boost your productivity. today I'm thrilled to share an exciting overview of everything we've built for you over Q3.

We've got some exciting things going on that could transform the way you think about customer experience and operational excellence. 

Let’s kick things off with a glimpse into the innovations that are shaping the future of online shopping.

First up, we have the integration of Google Pay into Global e’s payment offerings.

This popular and flexible online payment method is now available, making it easier for shoppers to complete their purchases.

Imagine the convenience it brings, customers can now enjoy a seamless checkout experience, which is a win-win for everyone involved.

Speaking of checkout, let’s talk about the Apple Pay Express feature.

This new express payment widget streamlines the entire process by automatically filling in shipping and billing data.

It’s designed to take customers directly to order confirmation, cutting down on time and effort.

Who doesn’t love a quick and efficient checkout? Now, let’s address a common pain point: entering addresses during checkout.

With the new Address Autocomplete feature, shoppers will receive automated suggestions that simplify the process.

This not only improves accuracy but also speeds things up, making the shopping experience smoother than ever.

Currently, this feature is available in the United States and Australia, and I can’t wait to see it expand further.

And here’s something that’s sure to excite both customers and retailers alike: the Buy Online, Pickup In Store option, or BOPIS for short.

This feature allows online shoppers to pick up their orders in-store, which not only reduces shipping costs but also drives foot traffic to physical locations.

It’s a fantastic way to enhance stock management while providing customers with flexibility.

Now, let’s talk about Global Duty Assurance.

This service guarantees refunds for duties and taxes on international returns through Global e’s logistics network.

It’s a game-changer for boosting profitability and enhancing customer satisfaction.

After all, who doesn’t appreciate a hassle-free return process? Moving on to the tech side of things, we have the AI Powered Product Classification.

This innovative feature utilizes advanced Large Language Models to improve the accuracy and efficiency of generating HS codes for products.

By reducing manual labor and operational costs, it’s a significant leap forward in streamlining logistics.

Now, let’s shift gears to operational excellence.

The Email Management Tool has received some exciting enhancements, including new templates, improved responsive design, and even dark mode support for localized, branded transactional emails.

This means that your communications can be more engaging and visually appealing than ever before.

In logistics, the Direct Injection Logistics Service is optimizing both outbound and inbound shipping, lowering costs while improving service levels.

With routes established from the United States to the European Union and the United Kingdom to the European Union, as well as inbound routes from the European Union to the United States, this service is set to revolutionize shipping efficiency.

And for those dealing with returns, the Consolidated Return Lanes feature is here to help.

By consolidating individual returns into bulk shipments, it significantly reduces return shipping costs.

New lanes have been established from Canada to the United States and from the European Union to the United States, making returns easier and more cost-effective.

Now, let’s look ahead to what’s coming in the fourth quarter of twenty twenty-four.

Get ready for a Live Reporting System that will allow real-time sales performance tracking in its first phase.

Plus, we’ll see enhancements to Express Checkout with Google Pay Express and improved PayPal Express options.

For Shopify merchants, the B2B Import feature will support logistics management for B2B imports, while Borderfree.

com will serve as a gateway for lifestyle and fashion brands to enhance brand awareness and generate demand.

We’re also excited about upcoming checkout enhancements that include new events via Mixpanel, sustainable packaging options, and expanded address autocomplete for the United Kingdom and Canada.

And let’s not forget the Market Proposition Generator, which will broaden service coverage for merchants, and the Edit Order feature, empowering merchants to modify pre-shipped orders for better management.

So, there you have it! These updates are not just enhancements; they’re stepping stones toward a more engaging and efficient future in e-commerce.

I encourage you to embrace these innovations and think about how they can elevate your own storytelling and content strategies.

Hello everyone! I’m Hailey, your merchant guide from Global-e, and I’m thrilled to dive into a topic that’s not just close to my heart but also essential for anyone looking to make waves in the digital marketing world.

Today, we’re exploring the exciting realm of digital marketing for global audiences.

So, what’s in it for you? Well, if you’re a tech professional, an AI enthusiast, or a marketer eager to elevate your brand storytelling, you’re in the right place! By the end of this session, you’ll be armed with practical tips and best practices that can transform your approach to reaching international markets.

Let’s kick things off! Social media and online search engines are the lifeblood of digital marketing, especially when it comes to connecting with new audiences around the globe.

Did you know that a staggering seventy-five percent of online shoppers have made purchases from brands outside their home markets after engaging with them on social media? That’s a powerful testament to the potential of digital channels! However, navigating the complexities of international campaigns can be quite the challenge.

It’s not just about extending your domestic efforts; it requires a dedicated strategy tailored to each market.

By combining local insights with a thorough analysis of your brand’s potential, you can craft a winning strategy that delivers real results.

I recently tapped into the expertise of Global-e’s DTC Digital Marketing Team, and they shared some invaluable insights on running successful digital campaigns across the globe.

Let’s break down these best practices together! First up, identifying high-potential markets is crucial.

You want to focus your efforts where your brand can truly thrive.

To do this, consider a mix of economic indicators and market characteristics.

Look at your current sales volume in each market, analyze brand awareness through search data, and assess the market’s profitability.

Also, keep an eye on factors like population size, GDP per capita, and internet penetration.

For instance, while Brazil may seem like a goldmine due to its size, high taxes and duties can create significant barriers to entry.

So, do your homework! Next, you need to find where your local audience hangs out.

It’s essential to incorporate popular media channels specific to your target market into your media plan.

While global giants like Meta and Google are important, don’t overlook local players.

In South Korea, for example, platforms like Naver and KakaoTalk are key to reaching consumers effectively.

And let’s not forget the power of affiliate and influencer marketing to build trust and recognition in new markets.

Now, let’s talk about adapting your ads to resonate with local cultures.

This is where the magic happens! High-quality translations are a must, and it’s best to work with native speakers who understand the nuances of the language.

If your messaging relies on clever wordplay, consider a complete rewrite to ensure it hits home with local audiences.

And remember, visuals matter! They should reflect cultural sensitivities and preferences.

For example, in Gulf markets, creatives often need to be more modest, incorporating local cultural elements.

When it comes to pricing and promotions, localization is key.

Display prices in the local currency to enhance relevance.

If that’s not feasible, it’s better to omit pricing altogether.

For multi-market campaigns, percentage discounts tend to work better than fixed-value discounts, as they offer clarity across different markets.

And be mindful of local regulations regarding promotions—some countries have specific rules about when and how you can advertise sales.

Don’t forget about local holidays and shopping events! These occasions present fantastic opportunities to boost sales and enhance brand visibility.

Make sure to add these events to your marketing calendar and plan your campaigns around them.

A little local flavor goes a long way, so consider incorporating greetings or culturally relevant messages into your marketing materials.

Navigating the global digital marketing landscape requires a thoughtful approach.

By understanding each market and analyzing your brand’s potential, you can set the right strategy.

A localized approach that goes beyond mere translation will empower your brand to run effective campaigns, driving demand and accelerating growth.
