Marketing to expatriates is a challenge, as they are hard to reach through traditional advertising channels or by using standard techniques and messages.
Due to the increase of international migration, the expatriate market segment has become an important target for many companies across different sectors, and there are more and more companies running specialized expat marketing campaigns.
United Nations statistics put the worldwide number of international migrants at 191 million in 2005. Western Europe has more than 20 million registered expatriates and unofficial data puts this figure much higher.
A person moving country normally needs somewhere to live and a job, then when they arrive they have a range of immediate needs, such as banking, telecomms and health insurance. The expatriate market also offers many business opportunities for specialized service providers such as international lawyers, language schools and money transfer providers.
Before they arrive, they are literally everywhere – every country in the world – not an easy target to hit. When they arrive, they are less likely to view television or read a local newspaper. Traditional media are not very effective as they don’t reach this audience.
The market for expatriate media and expat marketing is highly fragmented. Just Landed has created a unique platform for marketing to expatriates in multiple languages. We cover 40 countries in up to 8 languages; today, more than 1.5 million people visit every month.
