Expanding your offering

With an established video streaming solution in place, it is not uncommon to monetize your offering in new markets via a direct to consumer TVOD or SVOD strategy. However, entering a new market does not come without risks.

Accepting payments can be complex in a new, regional market. Finding a payment partner and dealing with the regional and cultural differences in accepting payments can be cost prohibitive when testing market viability.
