To introduce your products to the market in China, should your company choose JD Worldwide, Tmall Global, Kaola, Xiaohongshu, WeChat or another popular platform? The answer is, as often, that it depends: on your target audience, on your budget, on your marketing strategy.
To help you navigate China’s main e-commerce platforms and gain a clear understanding of what makes a digital marketing campaign likely to succeed in the current market, the EU SME Centre and the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce organised on 15 March 2023 a training seminar now available for streaming.
During the seminar, experts discuss China’s cross-border e-commerce market and the legal requirements governing it. They provide insights into different CBEC platforms and explain how to become a merchant on China’s major e-commerce platforms.
