Marketing EventEvent Tips: Telling your story in the US. 
By Sia Normann, DABF Intern 

Communicate clearly and simply 
  • Consider the diversity and size of the US market. Taste, preference and values can vary greatly, so be specific about target audience and target state.
  • Don’t make people think too much. Go straight to the point.
  • Always be relevant and direct.  

Language 

  • Americans have little tolerance for linguistic errors.
  • Don’t translate the wording of the message. Translate the meaning.
  • Underlying values are the secret to making a message work. Think about the values of your target audience.
  • Remember the distinction between US and British English. Americans will think British spellings are errors, and that turns them off.

Focus on consumer benefits

  • Americans are born consumers, so focus on customer benefits.
  • Consider focusing on end-user-benefits even though your product may be B2B.

Danish and American business values

  • Don't market yourself using specific Danish values. Americans don't know what these value are.
  • Modesty might be considered a business value in Denmark, however it's just the opposite in the US.
  • Instead, communicate with confidence and clearly say why you are the best – Americans wants leaders.
  • Be passionate about your product.  Americans like excitement and engagement.
