What Is Speed To Market?
Otherwise known as time to market, speed to market is essentially the time it takes to get your brand, product or service established or launched in a new market. A quicker time to market means the quicker you can get your brand out there and start receiving a solid return on investment. Speed to market is especially crucial when we talk about international expansion, but why?
The Benefits of Speed To Market

By getting to market quickly and ahead of your competitors, you can establish your brand amongst your customer base and secure their business and therefore loyalty.
Establish a positive reputation
Regardless of your industry, no one wants to work with a company that suffers setback after setback getting to market. By having a swift, successful time to market you set the precedent for your whole business operation. Given that your new market is likely to be full of new customers who are unfamiliar with your company, a good reputation with effective processes certainly goes a long way to securing new business.
