Marketing helps people discover and make decisions each step of the way, from the intention to the execution, followed by payment, and finally leaving their review of their experience.
We divide this into three distinct phases that have a specific solution to maximize the results.
The seeding process introduces potential customers to your business and brand, leading them to make a booking or purchase goods or services at the business’s location.
We accomplish the initial step by using various channels to ensure your brand or product is visible and stands out among the competitors. The strategy uses multiple platforms and media to direct the customer to ask questions, make a booking, visit your business, and purchase.
When the customer executes a transaction, some will also write a review or post photos of their experience.
99% of all transactions with Chinese FITs will pay via one of two digital payment options, so it is necessary to have these specific payment options available on demand. In addition, consumers must have a positive experience to review and post on social media.
The critical period for the consumer to review, give feedback and share content that will determine your business’s long-term reputation in the market.
The organic reviews and posts will eventually become the content and information that will affect your target audience’s decision-making in the future. These reviews and posts are on several different channels such as review sites, short videos, and social media.
WeChat - Weibo
WeChat has more than one billion active users, China’s biggest social media platform, similar to international platforms like Facebook and Line. It is the primary application that Mainland Chinese communicate and share their daily lives.

WeChat takes the place of traditional websites, payment solutions, customer service lines, and many other functions. WeChat is the heartbeat of your Chinese online marketing strategy.

Baidu gains advertising revenue with a system that is similar to Google by bidding on keywords that trigger their ads to appear. In addition, you can also pay to appear first on the search page.
Baidu ranks sites partly based on their compliance and quality of content. So It is necessary to have a fully translated and localized website that conforms to the Chinese standards because algorithms attach importance to the context in which words are used.
