Marketing Strategy Support

We provide strategic approaches to maximize limited resources for small and medium-sized businesses and enhance competitiveness. Through market analysis, we clarify target segments, implement efficient customer acquisition measures using digital marketing, and execute strategies to achieve results. We monitor KPIs and support sustainable growth.

Product and sales strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises, or “marketing,” will not succeed by simply imitating large companies. Let’s start by not competing on the same ground. For this, begin by understanding the strengths of your products, people, and company itself. As the most straightforward method, we recommend starting with a SWOT analysis.

SWOT Analysis

Positive factorsNegative factors
Internal
factors
Strength
(Strengths)
Competitive advantages such as company assets, brand power, and quality
Weakness
(Weaknesses)
Shortcomings or defects of the company or products that need improvement
External
factors
Opportunity
(Opportunities)
Growth opportunities due to changes in external environments such as markets and competitors
Threat
(Threats)
Risks or obstacles due to external environments such as markets and competitors

After understanding your company and products/services, we identify where to compete and which customers (target audience) to focus on. Once a basic strategy is formulated, we select effective tactics such as advertising and online strategies. As an important element, it is necessary to set KPIs (measurable targets) and monitor them. By repeating this process, marketing activities should contribute to your company’s sales.

If you are unsure or finding it difficult without dedicated marketing personnel, please consult with us at Anderson International. We can support you according to your needs, whether it’s just the initial steps or continuous support until results are achieved.

Digitalization/Grant & Subsidy Utilization Support

We support the implementation of IT tools to improve operational efficiency and strengthen competitiveness. Digitalization of customer management (CRM) enables customer analysis and more efficient sales activities. We also support the utilization of grants and subsidies related to digital transformation (DX) support, helping to minimize implementation costs.

The introduction of IT tools to improve operational efficiency has become a challenge for many small and medium-sized enterprises. However, are you hesitating because you think it might be costly, or because you don’t have staff familiar with IT? We offer suggestions to companies like yours, starting with what is achievable now.

Recommended for companies that
✅ Want to digitalize but don’t know where to start
✅ Want to implement IT while keeping costs down by utilizing grants and subsidies
✅ Are interested in digitalizing marketing and sales
✅ Find application procedures difficult and want support from experts

Did you know? There are many subsidies and grants available for small and medium-sized businesses.
Main target grants and subsidies (Examples for 2024)

  •  IT Introduction Subsidy (Partial subsidy for IT tools and software implementation costs)
  • Manufacturing Subsidy (Support for production process improvement and digitalization)
  • Business Restructuring Subsidy (Support for business model transformation and new ventures)
  • Small Business Sustainability Subsidy (Support for market development and DX)
  • DX Investment Promotion Tax System (Tax credits for digitalization investments)

Let’s maximize utilization and reduce the burden of implementation costs. We will support you with IT tool selection, implementation, and subsidy/grant applications.

Personnel Recruitment & Development Support

Many small and medium-sized enterprises face challenges such as personnel acquisition, low retention rates, and lack of opportunities for employee skill development. In response, we support the formulation of recruitment strategies, improve retention rates through onboarding support, provide training programs aimed at enhancing employee skills, and review evaluation systems to increase motivation, realizing sustainable organizational development.

We formulate recruitment strategies based on market and industry trends, and build attractive recruitment branding for job seekers, making it easier to reach target talent. Furthermore, we provide advice on designing appropriate selection processes and interview methods to improve recruitment efficiency, helping companies accurately identify the talent they seek.

Post-recruitment Onboarding Support
We support the creation of environments where new employees can smoothly adapt to their duties and quickly become productive members of the team. Specifically, we help design post-entry training programs, support the introduction of mentoring systems, and implement regular follow-ups to maintain new employee motivation and prevent early turnover. This improves retention rates and contributes to optimizing recruitment costs.

We provide training programs for leadership development and specialized skill enhancement, promoting the development of each employee’s capabilities to strengthen the entire organization’s competitiveness.
