Download or read book International Digital Marketing in China written by Lala Hu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines key issues in international digital marketing in China from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Divided into two main parts, it begins with an analysis of China’s cultural characteristics and business environment, with a particular emphasis on the Chinese digital context. The book goes on to present original empirical studies and an investigation into recent challenges and opportunities for international firms in the fashion sector. With nearly 900 million internet users and an e-commerce market volume of over one thousand billion US dollars, China is the world's largest digital market. While this creates significant opportunities for international firms, there are many factors to consider when approaching this market. In order to understand the Chinese digital scenario, the book analyzes the characteristics of local internet platforms and consumer patterns. The book also presents a real-world case study on a luxury retail firm operating in China, Florentia Village, and the results from a questionnaire on Chinese mobile shoppers. On this basis, it provides a conceptual framework and discusses the theoretical and managerial implications for international firms operating in China, making it an enlightening book for scholars, students, and practitioners alike.

Download or read book Digital China Selling to China Through Cross Border E Commerce written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s cross-border e-commerce market was worth 8.8 trillion yuan transactions in 2018, with 25-34 year-olds as the largest user segment making up 48% of China’s highly educated CBEC consumers. In early 2020. China also approved 24 more cross-border e-commerce pilot cities and has introduced relaxed foreign exchange regulations in its free trade zones. This is an area that China is clearly prioritizing. If you’ve ever thought about expanding your business into China but hesitated, this is the book for you. There are plenty of cross-border e-commerce options available without having to set up a branch office or hire a large group of local staff. It’s a great solution for brands of all sizes. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. China is a huge market with great potential. It’s unique, sophisticated, hyper-competitive and it’s not easy to succeed. Despite the challenges, international brands of all kinds are eager to get access to over 1.4 billion Chinese consumers. If you’ve decided that it’s time for your company to take its next big step and dive in, the good news is that it’s not necessary to set up shop in China to sell your products there. E-commerce is a way of life in China and by the end of 2019, e-commerce sales are forecast by some to expand 27.3%, reaching $1.935 trillion USD. This represents 36.6% of total retail sales in the country. Cross-border e-commerce can blur geographical borders so we’ve created this mini-book to help marketers better understand major online sales channels for cross-border e-commerce in 2019. You’ll find out about key players to watch and major e-commerce shopping festivals. We’ll dive into information that will empower you to take action and make wise decisions when it comes to your marketing budget. Social E-commerce and We-Commerce Whether it’s traditional media opening their own online stores, or e-commerce sites adding more editorial content and social features, both sides are coming closer together in the form of social e-commerce. It’s happening everywhere but it’s a trend that’s even more advanced in China. In the West, it’s more common to use an e-commerce site as the final stop when completing a transaction, whereas in China, e-commerce sites are destinations where you can make new discoveries, acquire information, socialize with others who can make informed recommendations and communicate with people who share your interests or concerns. Social commerce has become very popular in China because customer acquisition costs have increased significantly on traditional platforms, like Alibaba and JD.com, so brands and platforms are looking for new ways to engage customers. It’s estimated that by the end of 2022, 15% of all e-commerce in China will be social and it will became a major force in online retail sales. As more e-commerce outlets start adding a social element to their business model, three general categories have emerged. 1. Content Sharing Platforms The content sharing model is based on consumers trust in other consumers, influencers, key opinion leaders (KOLs) and key opinion consumers (KOCs). Brands and retailers cooperate with them to create content that informs potential buyers about their products and attempts to guide their purchasing decisions. KOLs and trusted consumers give products credibility and desirability. KOCs are a role specific to China and WeChat. KOCs are personal accounts listed under someone’s name but they’re administered by brand employees and WeChat users are aware of this arrangement. These accounts publish information, content marketing and many also do a wide range of customer relationship management tasks such as handling complaints, making product orders, handling returns, issuing coupons, promoting sales and more. This role was developed as a workaround on the highly influential WeChat social media platform as it is built for person to person contact so this method is not only functional but also feels more personal and can deliver the immediate action that many Chinese consumers demand. It also enables a low cost ad network as advertising rates on WeChat are very high.

Book excerpt: Digital marketing in China is quickly becoming the central element of the overall business strategy for companies entering this rapidly growing market. What makes it particularly challenging for foreign companies is the absence of familiar digital marketing tools such as Facebook, Google, YouTube etc. On the other hand, the presence of the local digital marketing and ecommerce ecosystem, which is relatively unknown outside of China, demands localized approach with new set of strategies.This book covers all aspects of developing successful digital marketing programs for China - from market research to search engine marketing to mobile and social media and other marketing channels.Chinese consumer is also becoming more sophisticated and discerning which leads to intensified competition among product makers and service providers. Local market specifics often require companies to significantly pivot their marketing strategy to adjust to the new reality.Essentially, this is what this book is all about - how foreign companies can adapt their existing marketing practices to Chinese market and devise new effective marketing strategies that deliver real results.The primary focus of this book on online digital marketing is due to two reasons. First, practice proves that it is the most efficient and cost effective channel in China and it is becoming increasingly so. It is also widely predicted that digital aspect of marketing will inevitably become the most important element in overall marketing strategy as people will continue moving more of their traditionally offline activities into online realm.The second reason is the unprecedented proliferation of ecommerce in China. Chinese ecommerce market is already larger than that of US and is predicted to pass $1 trillion mark in 2019. This makes digital marketing a natural choice for promoting anything that can also be bought online, which, in China's case, is pretty much everything. The ability to place a point of sale just a click away from an ad shortens the sales cycle and makes conversions much faster and easier to achieve.This book will not only give you a solid understanding of digital marketing landscape in China but also serve as guide to develop your own marketing strategy for your business.

Download or read book Brand New China written by Jing Wang and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One part riveting account of fieldwork and one part rigorous academic study, Brand New China offers a unique perspective on the advertising and marketing culture of China. Jing Wang’s experiences in the disparate worlds of Beijing advertising agencies and the U.S. academy allow her to share a unique perspective on China during its accelerated reintegration into the global market system. Brand New China offers a detailed, penetrating, and up-to-date portrayal of branding and advertising in contemporary China. Wang takes us inside an advertising agency to show the influence of American branding theories and models. She also examines the impact of new media practices on Chinese advertising, deliberates on the convergence of grassroots creative culture and viral marketing strategies, samples successful advertising campaigns, provides practical insights about Chinese consumer segments, and offers methodological reflections on pop culture and advertising research. This book unveils a “brand new” China that is under the sway of the ideology of global partnership while struggling not to become a mirror image of the United States. Wang takes on the task of showing where Western thinking works in China, where it does not, and, perhaps most important, where it creates opportunities for cross-fertilization. Thanks to its combination of engaging vignettes from the advertising world and thorough research that contextualizes these vignettes, Brand New China will be of interest to industry participants, students of popular culture, and the general reading public interested in learning about a rapidly transforming Chinese society.

Download or read book Digital China How to do B2B Marketing in China written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is a global manufacturing hub and home to many of the world’s largest trade fairs. It’s also a global center for research and development, prototyping, AI, 5G, green technology, facial recognition and data analysis. For businesses, it’s a very important place to develop connections, partnerships and a reputation with other businesses. If you’re a B2B company looking at the China market, this book is for you. Find out how to set yourself apart in the B2B space through the power of digital marketing and online platforms. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. There’s a belief among some that marketing only works for B2C companies. B2B marketing looks and feels different from B2C marketing but it’s been around forever and is even more necessary in a world full of increasing disruptions and challenges. As one of the world’s largest economies and a world centre for manufacturing, China provides ample opportunities for B2C and B2B brands alike. However, B2B marketing in China is a bit different from the West. Traditional trade shows, conference calls and meetings are irreplaceable aspects of B2B marketing now and in the future. However, a digital presence is important and has a strong effect when establishing business relationships. Most Chinese B2B companies also prefer a B2C selling approach and there are cultural differences in business etiquette and the dealmaking process that can’t be ignored. Flexibility, patience, a willingness to learn and adapting to local culture and practices is also necessary. Part of that adaptation involves lots of talking over dinners, understanding the negotiation process and being optimized for the mobile internet. Technology and personal interactions meld and overlap in China and for B2B businesses, one can’t replace the other. We’ve created this mini book for B2B companies in order to help them understand cultural differences, the Chinese digital marketing landscape and best practices. So if you have questions about getting attention from Chinese businesses, this book will help you to find your answers and create your B2B digital marketing strategy. The Digital Channels You Need to Know In 1999, near the start of China’s digital transformation, a group of people led by Jack Ma, started a B2B website called Alibaba.com. It was an English-language B2B website aimed at small businesses around the world that wanted to connect with manufacturers and suppliers in China. It’s next website, also launched in 1999, was 1688.com, a Chinese-language B2B marketplace for domestic companies. We all know how that went. Today, Alibaba is one of the world’s largest tech companies. It has expanded into financial technology, cloud storage systems, entertainment, media and offline grocery stores. And it all started with B2B. According to a July 2019 interview with John Caplan, head of North American B2B at Alibaba Group, “B2B e-commerce is a $23.9 trillion market — six times larger than B2C e-commerce.” So let’s get started with a list of digital channels for B2B in China that you need to know. It starts with one that everyone already knows. 1. Alibaba.com The granddaddy of them all. Jack Ma chose Alibaba as the name for the first site after the character Ali Baba from the folktale. He tested the name while he was in San Francisco and found it was recognized by people from all over the world. Alibaba.com is a huge multi-language portal for small businesses world-wide who are looking for suppliers and manufacturers. While most of the suppliers on the site are from China, international companies are also represented. Menus on the homepage allow for 15 different languages, regional settings and for prices to be indicated in currencies from all over the globe. The category menu on the homepage lists 9 product categories and the full menu lists 12 more with countless subgroups that include everything from firefighting supplies to balloons. You can buy everything from a single toy to crude oil (500,000 barrels is the minimum buy). It’s fair to say that whatever your size or industry, there’s something here for you.” REVIEWS “Great and relevant content! Professional and knowledgeable speaker with contagious energy.” Michelle Ng, Harley-Davidson “Ashley opened our eyes to how the Chinese are leading innovation in the social media space, and how we can learn from them.” Coen Tan, Lead Trainer at Ministry of Influence

Download or read book Digital China Micro influencer Kocs And Private Pools written by Ashley Dudarenok and published by Alarice International Limited. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about marketing, communication, branding in China and how to be smart about it. The game is the same. It’s still about grabbing the right eyeballs but the playing field and your toolbox have changed dramatically. This book takes a deep look at some of today’s most powerful communication partners – small key opinion leaders and key opinion consumers. That’s micro-KOLs and KOCs for short. Once you understand who these influencers are and what they do, you’ll be able to leverage their talents to elevate your marketing game. You’ll also be able to create a significant splash without the high costs. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. “Social Media is at the Heart of China’s Daily Life Social media, especially WeChat and Weibo, play a huge role in daily life. In China, people can do everything from buying groceries and arranging for them to be delivered to paying their monthly bills through social media. The coronavirus crisis in China put social media and e-commerce in an even more central position in everyone’s life as people had to spend so much time indoors. Social media became their primary connection to friends, the best way to get necessities and a way to work with colleagues they couldn’t see in person. Everything in China is connected to social media and everything is social commerce in one way or another. This is where influencers and micro-KOLs live. You need to be there with them. You Need to Make Your Marketing Money Count Brands everywhere need to be smarter about how they use their marketing money. Some estimate that 30% or more of marketing budgets are wasted. That’s time and effort that isn’t yielding any tangible results. Spending money well and following a sound strategy are the cure. With small influencers, like micro and nano-KOLs and KOCs, their small fan bases makes it less likely that they’re hugely inflating their follower numbers by using bots and fake followers. KOLs that are in a rush to get recognition and bigger brand deals often pad their fan bases with shuijun (literally “water army”, fake followers) and game the system in other ways. Navigating through this minefield of artificial numbers to find legitimate influencers requires experience and technical tools. This is also why money spent on bloggers and livestreamers known for sales isn’t always the wisest investment. Stories of consistent, huge retail figures can be misleading. Influencers often sign agreements guaranteeing brands a certain amount of sales. Their service fee often matches this amount. On top of this, they receive a commission of around 20% on all sales. This seems like a great deal for brands as they have guaranteed sales to big audiences and are introduced to lots of new customers. What often happens in reality, however, is that bot accounts are used to create the “huge audience”, the blogger’s service fee is used to purchase the guaranteed sales amount and they later return a large portion of the purchases. The remaining products usually find their way to group buying or flash sales platforms. Unfortunately, these buyers aren’t likely to make repeat purchases and in the end there are losses in terms of sales, brand image and labor and there’s little exposure to real human customers. We predict that China will soon move toward a cost per engagement (CPE) model and leave behind the CPM model, which only measures views and can be easily manipulated. Brands also have to keep in mind that the costs for advertising and customer acquisition on China’s social media and digital platforms are high. They’re so high that even big international brands with deep pockets use KOLs and private pools in China. KOLs and Micro-KOLs Are a Direct Line to Your Target Audience Micro-KOLs are creative resources. Collaborate with them to come up with promotional concepts. Few people know the industry as well as they do and nobody knows better what will engage customers and fans. KOLs and micro-KOLs with real influence in China gain fans and followers because of their expertise, knowledge, skills, personality and content. There’s a shared interest that has brought their fans and followers on board. Cooking, fitness, being a parent, pet care, comedic musings on daily life, smartphones, organic food, sneakers, anime, beauty, fashion and cars are just some examples of the kinds of content that KOLs have created followings and communities around. Some micro-KOLs have built their small, dedicated followings around even more niche subtopics. This means that no matter what your product or service is, there’s an audience out there for it and there are influencers who are in touch with that audience. With the amount of spam and constant ads, these KOLs can help your brand cut through the noise and reach your audience. With advances in big data and AI and some social media marketing know-how, finding and selecting influencers who have the right audiences for you is achievable.
