Consumer product marketing success depends on your ability to “speak” to the customer in the right voice, using the right words.

Our years of international experience with consumer products mean we understand the requirements and complexities, helping you navigate the nuances of product specifications, marketing materials, and on- and offline communications. We also analyze the full impact of your translated messaging to ensure a cultural fit between product and target market, so consumers interact with your product as intended.

Global Marketing Services to Reach Your Target Audience
Your marketing efforts should be customized based on your target market. Messaging, packaging, colors, images, taglines – these are the details that attract buyers and build brand loyalty. A single mistake or misstep can easily lead to lukewarm sales and negative impact on your brand’s reputation. Get it right from the start by working with a company that specializes in global marketing and messaging.
Website Translation Boosts Global Sales
Are you looking to drive leads from different cultures, demographics, and geographical regions to your website? We match you with a translator experienced in your industry as well as global marketing. Our language specialists are fully bilingual, keeping up with new words and slang, with real-world knowledge of local language usage, buying habits, and customs.
Translate and Localize What’s Important to Your Customers
You need to translate packaging, print, audio and video advertisements, sales information, and website content and localize your brand to appeal to new markets and audiences. We work with you to determine what should be translated, prioritizing content and managing timelines to maximize consistency and reusable content, building time- and cost efficiencies into future projects.
Linguistic Matchmaking for the Right Voice and Consistency
As important as it is to address your target audience, it’s just as important to make sure you’re matched with the right translator, a linguist skilled in replicating your company’s style and “voice” while adhering to internal processes and guidelines. Our translators have in-depth understanding of the consumer product industry and are assigned to the same clients over time, building relationships which quickly produce time and cost efficiencies.
Professional Desktop Publishing (DTP) for Translated Materials
Layout and formatting are an essential part of many projects, particularly when translating materials from one language to another. Translated text can be longer or shorter than the original, so fitting it into your layout files can be tricky, especially when you can’t read the language. Our DTP professionals have the skill to format your design files and documents with multiple languages. Throughout the process we collaborate with you to determine the most important content to translate, recommending reuse across multiple formats when possible, to save time and money.

Amazing job, we have used them many times for our tags/labels for packaging design and they have always been quick and efficient!

Totally easy to work with and highly professional. We were able to get a high degree of confidence in the success of our project before we even started. The resulting translation of multiple pages of Japanese information was immediately useful on our website and in our email marketing.

I hired Rapport International for a translation job that they handled with ease and efficiency. I have also introduced Rapport International to international marketers who have used her services on more than one occasion, and thanked me for the referral.
If you need translation services you would be foolish to hire anyone except Rapport International.
