Consumer Products Expansion in West Africa
A U.S.-based consumer products company engaged TGC to develop a strategy for entering West African markets. Despite previous success in other international markets, they recognized the need for a tailored approach to this diverse region. We conducted comprehensive research across five countries, identifying significant variations in consumer preferences, distribution channels, and competitive dynamics. Based on this analysis, we developed a phased entry strategy focusing initially on two markets with the strongest alignment to the company's capabilities. Our recommendations included specific product adaptations, pricing strategies optimized for each market, and distribution partnerships with established regional players. We also created a detailed implementation roadmap with clear milestones and performance metrics. Following this approach, the company successfully launched in their first target market within six months, achieving 150% of their first-year sales targets. They have since expanded to three additional countries using our regional adaptation model.
