FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How is the Canadian market different from the US market from a strategic perspective?

    While sharing similarities, key differences include: Canada's distinct bilingual/bicultural nature (especially Quebec); a different regulatory environment (federal/provincial split); varying consumer preferences and purchasing power across regions; a unique competitive landscape in many sectors; and a different scale requiring tailored distribution and marketing strategies.

  • What's the most critical element of a successful market entry strategy for Canada?

    Thorough localization and adaptation. This involves more than just language translation; it means adapting your product/service, value proposition, marketing messages, sales channels, and potentially even your business model to resonate with specific Canadian regional preferences, regulations, and competitive dynamics.

  • How much does comprehensive market research for Canada typically cost?

    Cost varies significantly based on scope, depth, industry complexity, and research methodologies (primary vs. secondary). A basic market overview might start in the low thousands (as per our package), while in-depth primary research with surveys or focus groups can range from $15,000 to $50,000+ USD.

  • Can InterGest help us secure government funding or grants in Canada?

    While we are not grant writers, our consulting services include identifying relevant federal and provincial support programs your business may be eligible for as part of our strategic planning. We can guide you on understanding eligibility criteria and direct you to appropriate resources or specialized grant writing services if needed.

  • How do you measure the success or ROI of a consulting engagement?

    Success metrics are defined collaboratively at the start of the engagement based on your specific objectives. This could involve metrics like market share growth, revenue increase, cost savings achieved through operational efficiencies, successful product launch KPIs, improved customer satisfaction scores, or timely completion of strategic milestones.

  • What level of involvement is required from our team during a consulting project?

    Effective consulting is a collaborative process. We require active participation from key stakeholders within your organization for discovery sessions, data provision, feedback on findings, decision-making, and supporting implementation efforts. The specific time commitment varies based on project scope, but engagement is crucial for success.
