Export Delaware has partnered with IBT Online to help Delaware small businesses optimize their websites for specific international markets.
We live in an online world. More and more business transactions are taking place online than ever before. Many internet users rely on Google or other leading search engines to help them find what they are looking for online.
Our partner, IBT Online agrees, “Your prospects, target clients, suppliers, future employees, competitors…are all online. So make sure your website and online presence are the best they can be to showcase your brand and your business.”
Is your website able to be found, understood, and easy to do business with by your international prospects? If it’s not localized and optimized for specific international markets, the answer is “no!”
Consider working with IBT Online to get your website in shape. You may be eligible for Compass Grant funds to help cover the costs. Apply for the Online Global Program by filling out a Grant Application and checking the box for “website localization.”

Supercritical Fluid Technologies decided to launch two new optimized websites in Italy and Latin America so that more potential clients can find them. This proved to be a savvy export strategy in 2020 when international business travel was not safe, and many international trade shows were canceled due to COVID-19.
“We’ve already seen an uptick in website traffic in these nations. Undoubtedly this will lead to new clients and export business in the future.” – Ken Krewson
