Marketing to different cultures

When marketing to different cultures it can be difficult but after reading some steps to take, here are 5 factors when targeting different cultures. 

1. Wealth- Wealth can vary between Americans greatly, so imagine in different cultures. Wealth is a big factor because all cultures are different in this aspect and this will affect how consumers buy products.
2. Consumer Habits- This might be an obvious one, but it is still very important. You have to be aware of your consumer habits and in each culture they can vary greatly, so knowing your target market will be a big help.  
3. Age- Age is tremendously important when looking at different cultures. All generations interact different depending on your culture, so determining the age will help.
4. Language- Language is very important for communication, so knowing your target markets language will be to your best interest.
5. Personality- Studies have been done to test personality types. However one study in one culture won’t necessarily match exactly the same in another culture. So it would be best to do research and get the idea of personality about your target market  and keep an eye on it. 

What do you think is the most important factor when trying to market to different cultures?
