Download or read book Chinese consumers s behaviours The Chinese market retail strategies and consumer groups written by Lisa Bouam and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-06-24 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, , language: English, abstract: China ́s reform and open up policy initiated in 1978 has contributed to expanding its economy. From 1989 until 2013, China GDP Annual Growth Rate averaged 9.2%. While Europe and the US are facing a decrease of their inhabitant’s ́purchasing power, China ́s growth has led to the apparition of a significant middle class which is getting richer and buys more than its elders. China represents a huge potential for multinationals companies that have been trying to break into this market. Thus, understanding Chinese consumer ́s behaviours has become essential to the establishment of a successful marketing strategy. However, China as a country is also very diverse. A simple look at the administrative organization of the mainland part divided into five levels (municipalities, provincial capitals, prefectures, counties and county cities) reveals a significant segmentation which is even broader as soon as you leave the cost to go through the lands. What retail markets and channels should companies choose in order to target those markets? Besides, as China had to face significant economic and political changes over the past few years, Chinese consumers ́ shopping habits have been evolving dramatically. As a result, categorizing Chinese consumers can be very challenging since several factors such as age, localisation (rural/town) or revenue influence greatly Chinese’s consumers habits. In this essay, we will choose to distinguish Chinese consumers revenue wise: affluent, mainstream/aspirants, value, poor according to the categories that have been mentioned in McKinsey Study “Meet the Chinese consumer of 2020”. What will China consumers buy next? First, we will analyze the global trends of an evolving Chinese market. Secondly, we will explain why companies‘retail strategies should adapt to regional differences within the country (City/Rural towns, Cost/Inside, Different provinces).Thirdly, we will try to understand better Chinese consumer’s mindset by categorizing relevant consumers groups. Also, we will focus on Chinese consumer ́s specificities compared to their westernized counterparts in terms of brand loyalty and perception.

Download or read book China s New Culture of Cool written by Cynthia Chan and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2006-08-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When China opened its borders to travelers and its economy to international trade, businesses all over the world took note. With well over one billion people, it represented a huge potential marketplace for goods and services. Huge as it is, however, China is not a monolithic culture. Though deeply rooted in native traditions, its contemporary marketplace is eclectic, combining Chinese regional styles with elements borrowed from foreign cultures. Most of all, it is evolving at a remarkable pace. To succeed in that dynamic emerging market, smart businesses need to understand its driving influences—especially its urban youth. Authors Lianne Yu, Cynthia Chan, and Christopher Ireland bring their collective experience and perspective to this thoughtful, beautifully illustrated analysis of the world’s fastest-growing market. Focusing on four fundamental aspects of the consumer Chinese lifestyle—food, style, home life, and mobility—they show how Chinese culture is speedily developing into a radically new form. Anyone who is interested in expanding his or her business in China should not miss this analysis.

Download or read book What Chinese Want written by Tom Doctoroff and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Chinese Want provides a sweeping look at contemporary Chinese consumer behavior, how its cultural influences separate it from the West, and how marketers and businesses can harness the natural strengths of this age-old civilization to succeed there. Today, most Americans take for granted that China will be the next global superpower. But despite the nation's growing influence, the average Chinese person is still a mystery - or, at best, a baffling set of seeming contradictions - to Westerners who expect the rising Chinese consumer to resemble themselves. Here, Tom Doctoroff, the guiding force of advertising giant J. Walter Thompson's (JWT) China operations, marshals his 20 years of experience navigating this fascinating intersection of commerce and culture to explain the mysteries of China. He explores the many cultural, political, and economic forces shaping the twenty-first-century Chinese and their implications for businesspeople, marketers, and entrepreneurs - or anyone else who wants to know what makes the Chinese tick. Dismantling common misconceptions, Doctoroff provides the context Westerners need to understand the distinctive worldview that drives Chinese businesses and consumers, including: - Why family and social stability take precedence over individual self-expression and the consequences for education, innovation, and growth; - Their fundamentally different understanding of morality, and why Chinese tolerate human rights abuses, rampant piracy, and endemic government corruption; and - The long and storied past that still drives decision making at corporate, local, and national levels. Change is coming fast and furious in China, challenging not only how the Western world sees the Chinese but how they see themselves. From the new generation's embrace of Christmas to the middle-class fixation with luxury brands; from the exploding senior demographic to what the Internet means for the government's hold on power, Doctoroff pulls back the curtain to reveal a complex and nuanced picture of a fascinating people whose lives are becoming ever more entwined with our own.

Download or read book Digital China Modern Chinese Consumers 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 millennials and young people from third tier cities are becoming China’s consumer powerhouses. However, there’s more to the country than people in their prime earning years and the obvious youth market. Chinese consumers are on everyone’s mind. Who are they? What do they want and need? How are they buying and how much are they spending? This indispensable guide is for anyone who wants to understand how people in China make their purchases and what leads them to make their purchasing decisions. Here’s an excerpt to give you a taste. China is one of the most dynamic and appealing markets in the world. With more than 500 million active online shoppers, China attracts brands and companies from all over the world. Multifunctional social media platforms, mobile payment apps, mini programs, non-stop shopping festivals, thousands of influencers (KOLs) promoting brands on their live streaming channels and instantly changing trends can overwhelm even experienced marketers, not to mention newcomers. Who should I target? How can I sell my product to them? These and many other questions occupy marketing departments around the world. In an attempt to stay on trend and increase brand awareness, many Western companies have already merged their e-commerce and social media efforts. But establishing a social media presence doesn’t guarantee success in China. How much do you know about recent trends in social media? We’ve created this mini-book to help marketers better understand ten key consumer profiles in 2019. You’ll also find out about hot trends on Chinese social media in the summer and fall of 2019. We’ll dive into case studies and information that will empower you to take action and make wise decisions when it comes to your marketing budget. Modern Chinese Consumers Consumption in China is expected to grow to 6.1 trillion USD by 2021. Although estimates have been tempered by recent tariff and trade disagreements, China’s standard of living is still expected to keep increasing and the country still has large segments of the population that are underserved. A large proportion of Chinese people live in smaller cities and rural areas. Reports indicate that over 50% of sales from the Luxury Pavilion in Alibaba’s Tmall are from customers who live outside Tier 1 and 2 cities. On top of this, by 2021, 70% of spending is expected to come from those in the 18-35 year age group, who are mostly China’s Millennials. Understanding the mindset and preferences of Chinese consumers is crucial to success in the China market. What are they really like? While old ideas and stereotypes may persist, the truth is Chinese consumers, especially those in top tier cities, are the most sophisticated and spoiled in the world. The China market is currently flooded with a wide variety of domestic and foreign brands offering a vast array of products. However, with increasing purchasing power, there’s still an eagerness for novelty and even more quality choices. This is why most Chinese consumers, especially those in first and second tier cities, prioritize product quality. They expect high calibre personalized products and services that are reasonably priced. They’re also accustomed to quick turnarounds so they want them fast. Having said that, it’s not realistic to describe all Chinese consumers as a whole. There are a variety of consumer types and markets within China and to understand Chinese consumers more deeply, we need to divide them into different consumer groups. Each of them has their own characteristics and purchasing preferences. Let’s take a dive into today’s most significant consumer groups. The 2018 book China’s Evolving Consumers: 8 Intimate Portraits, edited by Tom Nunlist, has a wealth of insights about modern Chinese consumers. This compilation has fascinating perspectives because in addition to research, some of the writers are insiders writing about their own experiences and those of their peers in a given demographic. We see this book as an important reference in this section along with our own observations and experience in the market.

Download or read book Understanding Chinese Society written by Norman Stockman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book provides an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the main features of Chinese society. Drawing on a wealth of material, the author offers a fresh understanding of a unique society that has undergone continuous transformation and upheaval throughout the twentieth century. Understanding Chinese Society looks in all its richness at the society with the largest population on earth. In order to explore long-term change and continuity, the book examines China from pre-revolutionary times to today's rapidly modernising society, although the focus is on recent change. Particular attention is paid to China's cultural traditions and hierarchical relationships in familial and wider social settings, and their fate in the modern world. Successive chapters investigate changes in the relations of rural and urban sectors of society; in the structure of families; in political and economic power; in cultural hegemony, education and the media; and in patterns of social inequality. A final chapter asks whether Chinese society is becoming more complex and differentiated in the course of modernisation and considers recent debates on the growth of civil society and democratisation. This book will be indispensable for anyone studying Chinese society, Asian societies and comparative sociology.

Download or read book China Made written by Karl Gerth and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "“Chinese people should consume Chinese products!” This slogan was the catchphrase of a movement in early twentieth-century China that sought to link consumption and nationalism by instilling a concept of China as a modern “nation” with its own “national products.” From fashions in clothing to food additives, from museums to department stores, from product fairs to advertising, this movement influenced all aspects of China’s burgeoning consumer culture. Anti-imperialist boycotts, commemorations of national humiliations, exhibitions of Chinese products, the vilification of treasonous consumers, and the promotion of Chinese captains of industry helped enforce nationalistic consumption and spread the message—patriotic Chinese bought goods made of Chinese materials by Chinese workers in factories owned and run by Chinese. In China Made, Karl Gerth argues that two key forces shaping the modern world—nationalism and consumerism—developed in tandem in China. Early in the twentieth century, nationalism branded every commodity as either “Chinese” or “foreign,” and consumer culture became the place where the notion of nationality was articulated, institutionalized, and practiced. Based on Chinese, Japanese, and English-language archives, magazines, newspapers, and books, this first exploration of the historical ties between nationalism and consumerism reinterprets fundamental aspects of modern Chinese history and suggests ways of discerning such ties in all modern nations."

Download or read book Consumption in China written by LiAnne Yu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consumption practices in China have been transformed at an unprecedented pace. Under Mao Zedong, the state controlled nearly all aspects of what people consumed, from everyday necessities to entertainment and the media; today, shoddy state-run stores characterized by a dearth of choices have made way for luxury malls and hypermarkets filled with a multitude of products. Consumption in China explores what it means to be a consumer in the world’s fastest growing economy. LiAnne Yu provides a multi-faceted portrait of the impact of increased consumption on urban spaces, social status, lifestyles, identities, and freedom of expression. The book also examines what is unique and what is universal about how consumer practices in China have developed, investigating the factors that differentiate them from what has been observed among the already mature consumer markets. Behind the often staggering statistics about China are the very human stories that highlight the emotional and social triggers behind consumption. This engaging book is a valuable resource for students, scholars and business professionals interested in a deeper understanding of what motivates China’s consumers, and what challenges they face as more aspects of everyday life become commoditized.
