Regarding the content of your marketing material, if you don't plan to localize it to each region, keep it simple. For example, don't overly promote the nationality of your product. Canadian companies commonly do this and that little maple leaf on the corner of your brochure, or on the product, can be a big turn-off in American states, especially when patriotism is at its peak. Instead, focus on your product or service and the benefits it will confer on potential buyers.
