Jason Popp, executive vice president of international at GES, a global event marketing company, says, "Going global can offer your business more than you might think, including a larger network of potential customers and more resources.

He provides five reasons why an international approach may be more strategic than you thought.

1. You have access to a wider market — and more investment opportunities.
2. Global products and services reflect a sum of their parts.

5. You can still support local business — and on an even bigger scale.
