Market-Entry Strategy
A clear U.S. go-to-market: where you win first, at what price, through which channels, and what it costs to get there.
Brand expansion consultancy for the United States
We help international brands enter the United States with a strategy built around how Americans actually discover, trust and buy. Positioning, localization, retail and growth, handled by one team.
A brand that works in Madrid, Milan or Berlin does not automatically work in Miami, Austin or New York. That gap is where we work.
Services
Six disciplines, one accountable team. Take the whole journey or the piece you're missing.
A clear U.S. go-to-market: where you win first, at what price, through which channels, and what it costs to get there.
We rebuild your story, voice and identity for American buyers, so the brand reads as native rather than translated.
Who your U.S. customer really is, who you're up against, and the white space you can own.
Amazon US, DTC on Shopify, marketplaces and retail partnerships. We pick the routes to shelf and cart that your margins can actually carry.
Paid media, PR, creators and lifecycle built for U.S. platforms and buying behavior, with metrics that matter.
The unglamorous essentials: entity, logistics, payments and compliance, sequenced so that none of them blocks your launch date.
Ways to work together
Most companies start with the diagnostic and decide from there. Nothing obliges you to take the next step.
Diagnostic
A straight answer to the question of whether the U.S. is worth it for you right now, and what it would take.
Programme
The full build, from strategy to a go-to-market that is live and taking orders.
Retainer
For companies already selling in the U.S. that want senior eyes on the decisions as they come.
Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually. We put a number on it after the first conversation, once we know what we are actually solving.
Approach
Four stages, each ending in a decision. You know what you are committing to before you commit to it.
We pressure-test your brand, your product-market fit and your readiness for the U.S., and we tell you if the answer is no.
We shape the American version of your brand: audience, message, price and channel.
We stand up the go-to-market across retail, site, media and operations, and take it live.
We read the data, double down on what works, and build the engine for growth.
Who we work with
Our work fits companies that already have a product people buy at home, and now need it to work somewhere the rules are different. Typically between two and fifty people, with someone senior who owns the decision.
If you are pre-product or still looking for fit in your own market, we will tell you so and point you elsewhere. It saves everyone a quarter.
Why Mofetty
Most brands stall between deciding to enter the U.S. and actually being there. Closing that distance is the whole job.
About
Mofetty is a brand-expansion consultancy for companies ready to grow beyond their home market. We pair strategy with hands-on execution, so that entering the United States stops being a leap into the unknown and becomes a plan with dates on it.
We stay small on purpose: senior people on your account, direct communication, and decisions made in days rather than in committees.
Questions
General guidance, not legal or tax advice. Your own advisers should confirm anything that carries a liability.
Not always. Plenty of brands start by selling cross-border or through a marketplace without incorporating. Where a U.S. entity starts to matter is when you want a domestic bank account, cleaner payment processing, a wholesale relationship with a retailer who expects a domestic counterparty, or a layer of liability separation. We map which of those you actually need before you spend money on any of it.
From a standing start, ninety days is a realistic run to a live go-to-market if the product is ready and someone on your side can make decisions quickly. What stretches it is rarely strategy. It is packaging changes, label compliance, freight, and waiting on a retailer's calendar.
It depends on your margin and on how much the brand experience carries the sale. A marketplace buys you reach and demand data quickly, at the cost of margin and of owning the customer. Your own store keeps both, but you pay for every visitor. For most brands the answer is a sequence rather than a choice, and the order matters more than the decision itself.
The U.S. has no single national sales tax. Each state sets its own rules, and you generally acquire an obligation in a state once you cross its economic threshold in revenue or in number of transactions. Selling through a large marketplace shifts much of that collection onto the marketplace itself. Selling direct does not. This is one of the areas where we bring in a specialist rather than improvise.
You need inventory close to the customer, which is not the same thing as owning a building. Most brands start with a third-party logistics provider or with a marketplace's own fulfilment network, and only revisit the question when volume makes the arithmetic change.
Rarely without adjustment. The product usually travels well. What needs work is the claim you lead with, the level of directness in the copy, the proof an American buyer expects to see before trusting a name they do not know, and the units and formats on the pack. This is most of what our positioning work consists of.
We scope and quote each engagement individually, because a diagnostic for a single-product brand and a full launch for a thirty-item range are not comparable pieces of work. The first conversation and the first read on your opportunity are free, and you get the number before you commit to anything.
Yes. Most of our work comes from European brands, but the problem we solve is the same for any company entering the United States from outside it. We work in English and Spanish.
