MakesYouLocal turns 15 today 🎂

What started in Copenhagen in 2010 has grown into a team of native-speaking specialists – and everyone working behind the scenes – supporting more than 250 webshops across 15 countries.

Along the way, we have opened offices in Vilnius, Berlin and Brno. We have adapted to shifts in e-commerce, launched new services, and built smart solutions – always with the same belief at the core: that local insight makes all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of the first 15 years. We cannot wait for the years to come 🌟

Here's what we learned from more than 350 e-commerce professionals at Succeed Abroad last year 👇

💡 "Localising our website and general communication to fit the local culture and expectations" is the top challenge when going abroad

💡 Localised Terms & Conditions alongside Privacy Policy was another concern for those with webshops outside their home market

💡 Most webshops were looking to focus on Germany and/or the Netherlands for their next international adventure. For Vilnius, Germany also topped the list alongside Czechia, Poland and Estonia

69% of all participants rated our market specific breakout sessions and networking as the most valuable part of the event - highlighting just how important it is to meet up with likeminded professionals, who share the same challenges and concerns like you! 🤝
