There are many effective strategic approaches we would like to introduce when conducting Digital Marketing in China.

The hottest marketing trend at this moment is KOL (Key Opinion Leaders) Marketing, also known as Influencer Marketing. China has more than 100,000 KOLs in the market and it is estimated that the KOL market could be worth 800 billion Baht. This is partly due to Chinese people heavily relying on social media. KOLs  have great influence on their fans or followers as they can communicate directly.

  • Borderless E-commerce

No one is trying to build a brand reputation without finding a way to deliver products to the consumer. For those who have just started online marketing in China, the cost of opening a storefront can be reduced by using an E-Commerce platform to respond with Chinese shopping habits. By having your own brand’s official website may not meet the needs of Chinese consumers who want to compare, in order to get the best and most exclusive products, where the price factor is the last priority.

E-Commerce stores are like online shopping malls that combine a wide variety of products, in addition, in terms of user-friendliness that does not have to learn how to use the website of each brand. Especially during COVID-19, while waiting for Chinese tourists to return back may sound like a pointless wait. Therefore, bringing the product to the Chinese consumers without having to stock the product in China can be done through E-Commerce platforms, such as WeChat, Tmall, Taobao, Pinduoduo, JD.com, Sunning and VIP.

KOL, Social Media, and E-Commerce platforms play an important role in Digital Marketing in China. Marketing efficiency will drop significantly if the strategies are not performing. Besides influencers, individual opinion on the Internet is equally important. Therefore, products must be good in quality to sustain growth for brands. E-Commerce comes in to solve stock issues and help to reach Chinese consumers in all areas with ease. What may be the most difficult challenge for marketers is using KOL.
