Your First 90 Days in the European eCommerce Market
Aug 8, 2025
Go-To-Market
Breaking into the European market can feel overwhelming but with the right plan, your first 90 days can set you up for long-term success.
New Market
Entering a new market is more than just translating your website. In Europe and especially in key regions like Germany and UK; customer expectations, payment preferences, and regulations differ significantly from the US or other regions.
At Axelwin, we recommend a structured 90-day plan:
Days 1–30: Deep market research, competitor analysis, and identifying the best sales channels.
Days 31–60: Set up your eCommerce platform, adapt product listings for local audiences, and prepare marketing campaigns.
Days 61–90: Soft launch your store, test campaigns, and optimize based on early customer feedback.
Pro tip: Always account for cultural nuances — a marketing campaign that works in the US may need a different tone in Germany or France.
