Switzerland. It’s a country that easily captures the imagination with a world-class reputation for financial and business excellence.

It’s also capturing the imagination and attention of businesses expanding their e-commerce operations. Swiss shoppers spend huge amounts online, a trend that’s continuing to climb upwards. They’re also not slow to look beyond their own borders, given that relatively few products are made locally.

However, when businesses look to the e-commerce opportunities offered by Switzerland, they quickly start to see some of the unique challenges that come with this territory. Regulations, customs, and languages can all make it tricky to get established.

That’s why it’s important to get expert advice. Asendia’s E-Commerce Product Manager (and Swiss e-commerce expert), Thomas Haumüller, has a few tips for businesses with their eye on Switzerland. Download the e-book to discover key facts and pointers for businesses planning to tap into the valuable Swiss e-commerce market.
