𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐬: Keep in mind that your product may not have been originally designed for African consumers. This means that to truly resonate with the market, you’ll likely need to make adjustments. From flavor preferences to packaging, localizing your product is key to gaining acceptance.
