I feel that you should market your ECA within your region first as you start promoting your business and your products in an environment in which you are familiar. There are several advantages for doing so.
1. Shipment costs outside your own region would be much higher and buyers would definitely not be willing to pay for that product. This would be the main advantage.
2. Your local buyers would understand shipment methods and also not query your charges-this would lend a greater relationship between your local buyers building a customer base. The possibility of repeat customers is very likely and this means expanding your business. Also it is easier to sort out any payment difficulties and work around hitches in technology when you are in one region.
3. It is much easier to build a customer base within your own geographical region for obvious reasons. This will give you experience on how to handle an overseas clientele. You will be able to answer questions better from prospective overseas buyers.
4. It is not difficult to add more countries to your shipping list and you can gradually expand your business to offer shipment outside your own region.
