Foreign manufacturers must be prepared for difficulties. Each country has its own characteristics in the cultural and legal terms. First of all, the foreign manufacturer must take into account consumer preferences of the local population. For consumers, it is of great importance not only to product quality but also the price. Therefore, to attract buyers, I would advise foreign manufacturers, product presentation and arrange to hold a promotional period. This will allow consumers to get acquainted with brand new products, and the manufacturer will provide advertising and product reviews. Also, I would advise companies to develop a website where users can find all the needed information, namely, the range of goods and reviews about them. It is also a great advantage for the company will be selling home appliances over the Internet, as more than half of consumers prefer to shop online.
