National boundaries are hardly a barrier today, especially considering how actively the whole world has made the internet their literal home. We are living in the digital era and it is quite obvious that if you are out on the web to sell, you are going global. Some of your best clients might not even be a part of your country. And, to reach this particular segment, you need to ensure that they get attracted to the best experience on your e-commerce portal.
Important Reminder When You Sell To The World
As a B2B e-commerce seller, it is important to remember that ultimately, it is a person who will be surfing your website and not an inanimate company. Being your storefront, the website should not only be attractive but also user-friendly. Did you know that nearly 88% of people are not likely to return to your website based on a bad experience? Thus, as you reach out to a global audience, language can play a crucial role in assuring a smooth user experience. Imagine it yourself, as a customer, would you rather buy from a website that sells products in English (your mother tongue) or Spanish (a language you don’t understand)? The prior, right?
Read on to find out why it is important to offer multi-lingual support for your B2B e-commerce store.

Get the Competitive Edge
Now, offering multi-lingual support can be tricky. Several companies simply offer services in not more than two to three languages. However, this often doesn’t meet the native language of various people. You can be different from the crowd by ensuring the languages of the clients your product is likely to attract. This is especially beneficial for businesses operating in nations where multiple languages are spoken, such as the United States. Consider increasing your service offering instead of offering support in one or two languages to start standing out and attracting new consumers.
Check out OrderCircle’s latest multi-lingual support where you can add several languages to your e-commerce store and get efficient translation support without having to move a finger.

Business Expansion & Upselling Opportunities
Once you have the bandwidth to offer your services in various languages, business expansion is on the books. As you cater to a global market, you get clients in different countries which will help you take your business beyond geographical boundaries. And the more people trust you, the more opportunities you get to upsell extra services like warranty, tech support, etc. These services are highly lucrative for e-commerce businesses and add to the greater business revenue, helping the business grow in all aspects and directions.

Look Global, Speak Local
With swift backend translation facilities, gaining the trust of your customers gets easier. With this support, you can also aim to improve on global standards like better SEO. This involves having your entire website, including metadata, translated. It also necessitates the use of distinct URLs with language-specific subdomains or subdirectories.

Show your Customer-centric Side
By offering services in the language of your customer, you show that you will go that extra mile to give them a priority in terms of service. A multilingual website is at the heart of this customer-centric approach, as the degree of personalization a business can provide becomes an increasingly significant aspect in securing clients and sales. If you can deliver high-quality content in your visitors’ native language, they’ll feel recognised and appreciated, especially if this isn’t the norm among your competition. This sense of belonging and gratitude will eventually transfer into enhanced commercial success.
