In the UK, “pants” means underwear, which is worth knowing before your US product page promises shoppers a pair that’s perfect for the office.
It’s a funny example, but it points at a bigger problem for brands crossing the Atlantic. Spelling like color and aluminum, everyday words that mean something else, sizing, units and even the tone of your copy all tell a UK shopper straight away that this brand wasn’t really made for them, and that quiet doubt shows up in conversion rates.
Episode 2 of Andy Hooper’s webinar series goes live tomorrow, and it’s built for brand, marketing and creative leads who want their brand to feel local from the first click.
Free to join. 11am ET (8am PT). 60 minutes including Q&A.
