🆕 We’re excited to introduce our new Japanese social media package tailored specifically for small businesses and organizations 🇯🇵

Over the years, we’ve had numerous conversations with small and medium-sized entities about their needs and investment capabilities for marketing in Japan. Common things we heard were:

• “We want to test the Japanese market”
• “We need a Japanese-language hub on social media”
• “Our budget for this is limited”
• “We don’t have a dedicated team”

This package was created based off these voices and streamlines translation, localization, professional post writing, Japanese community management and more.

All services are performed by our experienced Japanese specialists based in Japan and are meant to help small businesses and organizations with Japanese social media marketing in an efficient and affordable way ⚡️

Planning to sell to Japanese online? ✋ Then you may already know that their consumer culture requires doing some fine-tuning.

There’s a long list of things that can be optimized for Japan, but it can be surprising just how often even something like language is overlooked.

Using automated translation is really attractive, especially with advancements in AI, but the truth is that even though things are grammatically correct and translates well back into English, they may still not make sense to Japanese 😳 That means that the message is not getting across to Japanese consumers.

It’s always important to have some understanding of the culture first so you can figure out how to effectively communicate and sell to the people in it.

How brands utilize blogs in Japan 📝

Written content is still very popular Japan, so because of that, brands there invest a lot into creating and operating owned media such as blogs.
⁡
Some will choose to have it on their own site while others opt to utilize existing blog platforms. Some of Japan’s most popular platforms, however, are not well known overseas.
