9. Why create the Localisation Report 2015
► Localisation is a journey – you may not have
the resources/need to localise all elements
► We wanted to help retailers understand the full
scope of what decent localisation takes
► We also prioritise certain localisation aspects
that are crucial for conversion
► We chose German sites to review as it’s the
biggest market in Continental Europe, has
local differences to the UK and we have native
German speakers in our business
Ecommerce UK – Cross-border Ecommerce event
10. Methodology
► All sites were reviewed in May and June 2015
► There are some differences in best practice
between German and British sites, which
allows us to evaluate localisation efforts
► The scoring criteria included: translation,
payment options, address fields, size guides,
delivery, returns and customer service
information
► The maximum ranking score a retailer could
achieve was 60 points

Ecommerce UK – Cross-border Ecommerce event
46. In 2012 began to build an international
multichannel business
• Stores in 44 countries
• Shipping 83 countries
• Local Websites in 10 countries
Localised websites
.COM delivery
Delivery via in store only
47. Global management, local sites
Ireland
M&S expanded it’s online business to other international markets:
• France
• Spain
• Netherlands
• China (Tmall)
• Belgium
• Germany
• Spain
• Austria
• Rep. Of Ireland
• Luxemburg
Local market approach (10 dedicated sites) :
• Now deliver to 80 international
destinations from the UK
Delivery to rest of world:
•Brand awareness (marketing)
•Delivery options (services)
•Legal and payments (assets, fraud,...)
•Logistics (central warehouse, returns)
Main challenges:
48. M&S sells different products in each region...
48
Babywear performed well
in DE, perceived as good
value.
So British concepts
worked well in France
– macs and formal
coats
Kidswear was by
far the strongest
department in
Ireland...
In Australia top
sellers were
cashmere & basics
vs .US top seller of
schoolwear
49. ...because the brand is perceived differently &
has different strengths in each market...
49
M&S was not (yet)
considered as a
« fashion » brand in
Europe, more famed
for the food
In Australia, M&S
was perceived as a
value brand – e.g.
Lingerie sets in AU at
~£60 vs £30 on
M&S, plus strong
AU$
M&S quality and
innovation
credentials should
be more assessed,
as well as what
they do for the
planet (Plan A)
50. … and customers have different expectations
50
Latin markets
(France,
Spain) are
more promo
driven
Irish customers will
look for best value
& durability in KW
in particular
German customers are more services, trust and quality focused.
In Australia
customers are willing
to wait 2 weeks for
delivery, knowing
they are getting a
deal
51. 5 takeaways…
when going international…
51
• Don’t take you brand for granted outside of it’s “home” territory
• Your best sellers will vary from one place to another
• Fashion retailers: size does matter!
• British heritage brands: leverage your “expats” base too
• Adapting and localizing is not just a question of translation

Don’t underestimate the
costs to ecommerce entry
Failure to properly localise an ecommerce experience can result in lost
sales and damage even the most well-intentioned brands.

69. Capitalise on what you know2
Think about expanding your online footprint in geographies where
you already have a presence through traditional retail channels.
70. 7
Be realistic about going
from zero to revenue3
The first unassisted foray into international ecommerce can be
complex, surprising, and possibly more costly than anticipated.
71. 7
Partner to jumpstart sales in
new markets4
Regulatory requirements –
particularly legal, tax, and
compliance issues – ranked
among some of the biggest
challenges companies face
when entering new markets.

80. Exports can drive UK retail industry
Only 1/5 of the UK’s SME businesses currently export, even
though businesses are 11% more likely to survive if they
export……
…….If this were 3/5 we would have no budget deficit.

85. What industry thinks ……
Mrs Dvorakova, Managing Director (ex-Phillips) of CZC.cz
“…in my entire life, I have never seen such a comprehensive and targeted
strategy designed and supported by government to increase exports,
something absolutely unheard-of in the Czech political/business
environment.”
Michael Adnani,Vice President - Commerce Platform & Head - Strategic
Brand Alliances at Flipkart.in
“….this is the best thought through and clarified programme I have seen.
Many people want to do it but this makes it clear and gives us a strong
basis to build on”
