The Importance of Using Native Language

Use native language across the board

It’s important to address all of your marketing communications, not just specific aspects of your campaigns. You could send out an email to your contacts in Spain in Spanish but this won’t be as effective as it could be if you then direct them to an English website.

You need to consistently use your audience’s native language across all your communications. That’s your emails, websites, product documentation, advertisements, social media campaigns and any other marketing channels that you use. Even if your target prospects tend to use English as their business language, use their native language if you want to have a bigger impact. Plus, if most of your competitors are communicating solely in English, changing your communications to native language will help you stand out.

This takes work but you can perfect things over time. 65% of people prefer content in their own language – even if it’s of poor quality. Don’t let perfection get in the way of doing things the right way as quickly as you can.

The potential impact

Research suggests that native language email campaigns could give you as much as a 2500% increase in ROI.

That’s why at i-4business we choose to use expert translation providers for our own compliance emails despite employing many in-house native speakers within our research team.
