TOKYO -- Services to help retailers handle online orders from overseas, from shipping to website translation, are gaining ground in Japan as small businesses seek to tap foreign demand fueled by a weak yen.
One major player, Beenos, serves clients like Tackle Berry, a seller of used fishing equipment. Tackle Berry began working with Beenos last year, and within a few days saw a surge of foreign orders from countries including the U.S., Malaysia and Belarus. Rods and reels in the 10,000 yen to 20,000 yen range, or around $70 to $130, sell especially well.
