45. HOW TO ENTER CHINA E-COMMERCE?

46. How to enter China e-commerce?
You need to be everywhere
Every digital touch point, from SNS to Ecommerce platforms, is
visited during the Chinese consumer journey. So you need to
be present at every step to meet your customer.
du
Go through the B.A.T. is inevitable
Baidu – Alibaba – Tencent. They rule the digital landscape in
China. It is a must to be at least in each of their platforms to
be considered by the Chinese online users.
Existing digital strategies cannot be replicated
The Chinese ecommerce ecosystem is unique in the world.
Hence, a Chinese specific strategy has to be created.
