Think LocalDemonstrate your commitment to the China Market

Marketing Materials in ChineseIt seems obvious but sadly often looked over. A first request is often for your company information in Mandarin. This should be sent immediately via email or WeChat. Or better yet linked to from your bilingual website.

Mandarin Speaking Staff MemberNo point in announcing you are China ready unless you have a smart Mandarin speaking staff member who is able to respond to queries quickly.

Local AdvertisingA history of advertising to the local Chinese community demonstrates your commitment. Opportunities abound including chinatownadelaide.com

Bilingual Website As necessary and rudimentary as PDF materials in Mandarin. If yourWebsite does not have a clearly identified Mandarin information online you are not ready for the China market. A better choice is a .cn version hosted in China.

Support Local CommunityEffective means of growing relationships with prospective partners is to demonstrate your commitment to the local Chinese community. Sponsorship, interest and attendance at events, knowledge of organisations.

WeChatIt used to be the importance of bilingual business cards which are still important – but definitely never leave the country without WeChat.

WeChat (owned by Tencent) Jack Ma Alipay (owned by Alibaba) Pony Ma

Alipay has the longest history of China ecommerce but WeChat’s 600 million monthly users is creating an evenly matched battle for the mobile dollar.
