To success in China respect the Chinese Standards

4. Respect Chinese standards
Websites are not done the same way in western countries and in China. It means a western website can’t be directly translated into Chinese. You have to adapt your Chinese website. This is the case for cultural reason but also for ranking reasons. For example you have to have the maximum information on a single page, precise information, with usually the text written in small size, enabling you to put more information on the page.


5. Payment
Chinese people don’t use Paypal, but they use Tenpay or Alipay. Alipay支付宝is the payment platform created by Alibaba, a big web company, and existed since 2004. Taobao, the biggest e-business C2C platform of China uses Alipay as well. Tenpay is also a payment platform, created by Tencent, the biggest Chinese web company. It allows you to make B2B, B2C and C2C payments. You can recharge you Tenpay account also offline, the company sending itself an employee to collect the money.


6. Promotion
You have to know that Chinese people are used to bargain for everything in their everyday life. It means that the consumers should also have the feeling to have good deals on the web. For this reason, when you have an e-business website, you need then to do often good promotions and good deals. For example Taobao took profit these last years of the “single say”, a commercial festival happening on 11th of November (11/11), making a lot of special offers. Finally the operation was very successful, Taobao earning something like 19 billion Yuan this day.

Digital China TV news

After frequent "air strikes" emerging Internet companies, traditional television giants have gradually gained their soil and divide the online and offline brands in an attempt to open the second battle and regain the initiative in the market smart online TV.

TV giants in China separate online and offline brands


On April 1, the online brand aistrike the TV manufacturer Skyworth announced independent operation, assuming that "pioneer" in the operating Skyworth Internet TV. The smart TV product in its early stages after independence of "Coocaa" exclusive offer from the interface of the experience for the three types of people, including children, seniors and youth by an intelligent display, meet content requirements and habits in the use of different groups. It breaks oriented young mentality Internet TVs on the market and incorporates the requirements of the two groups of children and seniors. According to the president of Wang Zhiguo , the essence of the competition is still product innovation. TV Internet requires not only breakthrough, but also recognition of the experience of the user. Lately, "KKTV" online brand Konka established independent functioning well, the aim was to create another Konka. The strategy of "KKTV" is to promote earlier "sale on television" in cooperation with Internet companies to "make television" cooperation. According to the concerned officer of the Company, the brand will collect data from the user demand, in reverse customize configurations, functions, modules and combination of applications, integrate services applications for film and television, games, music, shopping, education and life on Ali platform via Taobao, a platform to meet major users individualized applications for younger users.

Dismantling online brands the above companies indicates that the television industry has given preliminary achievements in the "water test" the market smart.


Faced test online competition


In 2013, LeTV, mi.com and other Internet companies marched in the market of smart TV in succession. In 2014, the super TVs LeTV sales volume has reached 1.5 million, the fulfillment of its annual sales target one month in advance. In order to capture the big screen in the living room, Internet companies frequently broke the back of the smart TV market price and won the support of the many fans of the cost of expensive equipment, method-pipe, charged content, etc.

"Meet impact, Konka, Skyworth, Changhong, TCL and other TV magnates began to create different online internet TV brands traditional masters brands targeting new application and purpose profile Internet consumer group to face competition." say this Agency in Shanghai

Currently, online trademark solo in the television industry have been empowered staff, business and finance and competition face test online more directly, starting to "fight against" LeTV, mi .com, etc. Given the changing costs of most concern to market online, just after mi.com released a 40-inch television in the price of RMB1,999, "Coocaa" price of its new 43-inch TV product is RMB 1999, making her popular strategy the high cost of more aggressive performance. In terms of marketing, "KKTV", "Coocaa" and so on have adopted online sales resources on Tmall.com, JD.COM etc., subscription sales, limited sale, etc., which greatly reduces cost channels and standing in the same starting line with Internet television businesses. Regarding production, and  KKTV were relying on the superiority of the television production of the parent company over to LeTV and mi.com adopting OEM production mode.

Robust processing and disposal of the market


According to the analysis of the expert, fierce online battle of sub-brands in the television industry is following the consideration of multiple factors such as short-term, long-term scale and benefit, reflecting the ideology Strategic television giants in the search for stability improvement.

Digital plan 

On the one hand, it aims to rapidly increase the quantity and expand the scale. Last year, the global television market in China has experienced negative growth. A total of 44.61 million televisions were sold, down 6.6 percent on a year to year basis. This year, global sales of television should be pessimistic. Compared to a slowdown in the offline market, sales of televisions on the market were in line rise.

550,000 TV sold

In 2014, the volume of online sales reached 7.87 million, representing 18 percent of all channels. Therefore, if the intention of strengthening market share and even transform the market model, national television undertakings excessive competition are required to power the online sales, which is considered the key tactics. For example, "this Brand" sold 550,000 TVs last year while its volume of online sales in the first two months of this year has reached 200,000 sets with its annual sales target set at 1.5 million euros for this year.

Chinese Greatest Business opportunities

On the other hand, it aims to advance the transformation and the struggle for greater business opportunity. According stroke estimate, the annual value of Smart TV equipment sales is approximately RMB150 billion yuan and the annual value of content and application of smart TV is about RMB 300 billion yuan. Under Internet economy, the pace of the television industry wins by hardware gradually not work and some new incomers make great efforts to sell the television equipment regardless of the cost to establish public praise and occupy the users. Possessing operational users, it is in possession of strategic assets. For example, great TV LeTV generated a strong correlation with users in a sustained manner by offering value-added services for users worthy instead of winning by the hardware, which is in possession of several cost-effective models of content, service, advertising and application. However, the transition from a television company at the new business model tradition is unable to perform an action. This is a positive and reliable choice for driving it from a sub-brand and create a repeatable experience.

Made in China is out of trend

Made in China is out of trend



In recent years, people have often speak foreign cosmetics that have completely taken over the market. Now this is no longer true. Chinese beauty brands are on the rise and they certainly have their say on the future of the Chinese market for beauty products.

Made in China is out of trend, Made in China soon in China

For Chinese brands to really take over the market, they would need to change the made in China cliché actually for China, as Chinese fashion brands would like to achieve. At a time when the quality is better than quantity, where wages in China are rising, from qualitative to local Chinese beauty brands is definitely the way here. source : http://blog.chinadaily.com.cn/blog-1882116-26280.html

Herborist The brand is positioned as having a strong relationship with traditional Chinese medicine and nature.

Herborist is a Chinese cosmetics brand whose message is all about mixing Chinese product of traditional medicine and beauty. It is a small market that has many potential these days. Why is that? This is simply because many Chinese prefer everything related to nature to satisfy their desire for nature and healthy.

Beauty market in China

With 40 years of experience in the market, the brand can boast significant experience in the beauty market. Moreover, they do not stop there, opening SPA complete the range of services they wish to offer to their customers in China After these, we will move to a genus hottest beauty products: Grids.
The past two years, the mask of the market has increased steadily from 30% showing how Chinese users like them. Yes, I am not writing a Chinese female customers because men can also be used. I was doing. The masks are very relaxing effect and, once past the strangeness of the concept for a man, it becomes a very pleasant experience. Facemasks only that you think for men?

Chinese Investors should be cautious about market risks



Investors from China should be cautious about market risks,” the China Securities Regulatory Commission said on its microblog. “We shouldn’t be thinking if we don’t buy now, we will miss it.”
Chinese investors act as giddy as Americans were on December 5, 1996, the day Alan Greenspan made his famous "irrational exuberance" search on markets. Do not take my word for it. Here's what the securities regulator in the country said on Friday, the day of the Shanghai Composite Index rallied to its highest since May 2008:



Not much ambiguity there, and yet the Shanghai stocks rallied Monday at the head of their longest winning streak since 2007. What gives? Beijing made the same mistake Washington made 18 years ago-more and not clamping down on a stock market boom that is based more on leverage than reality.

Can sliding Greenspan Federal Reserve chairman on Wall Street was a foam without enthusiasm - so cryptic, in fact, that many senior journalists missed Fed. He came in the middle of a boring speech stultifying about the bubble of the 1980s in Japan. For a couple of days, markets quaked at the prospect that the Fed may cut short the ongoing event, which affected the astronomical valuations for startups dodgiest.

But Greenspan blew the final. Lawmakers were apoplectic over the actions targeting the Fed. Rather than hold his position, Greenspan shut up and evolved. If the Fed had repressed stronger in the 1990s - say with strict margin requirements - a Nasdaq accident could have been avoided. Investors could have been punished less likely to overleverage in the decade that followed. In Beijing, the governor of the central bank Zhou Xiaochuan can not afford to make the same mistake.

Chinese growth slows

The economic fundamentals do not drive this rally - political expediency is. Chinese growth slows - an early indicator of factory activity rose to a 11-month low in March - Beijing clamping down on credit and real estate market that seemed unstoppable once is in shock. This leaves room for China to satisfy their desire to get rich quick: actions. And recent policy tweaks are helping. In September, China has reduced costs by more than half for individuals and institutions to open share accounts. At the same time, the futures market has reduced the margin requirements for equity index contracts. Last month, it cut the amount of cash banks must hold loans by 50 basis points to 19.5 percent.

Not surprisingly, the outstanding value of margin trading or shares purchased with money borrowed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange rose to a record $ 158 billion in March 20. In fact, it was hitting new highs almost daily for weeks. In the finished March 6th week, mainland investors opened 662,000 new accounts to buy shares, the most since December, when the gauge Shanghai jumped 21 percent.

Obviously, a number of fast-growing Chinese buy for fear of missing out on the boom. With $ 3.8 trillion foreign exchange reserves, China can always bail out the market if an accident occurs. But before long, in addition to maintaining economic growth in the short 7 percent, the government will be shoring stocks, companies default on the stock of dollar-denominated loans (real estate developer Kaisa can be the first one) and suddenly public enterprises hungry liquidity. Intelligent Zhou and President Xi Jinping are is a lot to plug leaks at a time when they are also switching engines of growth in investment and exports of services.
The authorities need to crack down more forcefully on margin loans. The CSRC has been ignored once. A sinister coincidence, his earlier warning came on December 5, 18 years to the day Greenspan made his first sentence signature. China's regulator warned that stock prices for some listed companies were "relatively high" and that "there are about 700 companies in the stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen with a price-earnings ratio of more than 100." Three days later, investors have pushed the Shanghai Composite up 2.8 percent to over 3000. Today, it is 25 percent higher than it was on 5 December.
There are some plausible explanations why so many investors could leave logic at the door. First, the potential of the middle class in China and hopes for several initial public offerings blockbusters like Alibaba are overshadowing worries about deflation. Second, Beijing had until recently been directing its 1.3 billion pile savings in shares to support the market. Third, there is a genuine optimism that China is serious about transforming its economy.

But policymakers will regret willingly orchestrating this bubble. Making it easier for tens of thousands of small investors to bet on stocks to turn against terribly if the economic fundamentals do not begin to validate the exuberance of the market, and fast.
