Sean Jay failed to consider the cultural influences of Germany

Explanation:

Every country has their own culture: the way they think, the way they see things and the way they make decisions. This comes from how the people in each country is raised and educated, what social events as a culture they went through, in what political state they live, even language has to do on how a culture it's build up in a country. Sean Jay should've ran a proper market research aiming to find more about Germans and how they behave towards their purchasing habits.
