Question:
can u give me an example?

Answer:
YESSSSSSSSSS IT DOES !!!

This is the secret to being successful . You need to know your target audience and understanding the culture is the most important thing.

This is mostly true when you have a product which you have to adapt for different cultures . ( eg taste, packaging, features, cost….. )

Even if you have a global product that is the same in every country , the way you advertise is what makes or breaks your product.

Examples : the color white in most asian cultures is associated with death , so when tiffany's executives opted to present the box with a red ribbon (color red stands for good luck and fortune) it was a huge hit

Another thing to consider is product placement …. some countries consider that product as a necessity while others might see it as a luxury item ….
