Here are 5 strategies to help you grow your business in China on social media.

1)    Be present on a number of different platforms.

The largest platform in China is WeChat with over 700 million active users. Ensure you set up an official account here and disseminate quality, content. Users follow official accounts and will often share content on their feed. 

Weibo (literal translation ‘micro blog’) is a more open social network than WeChat as users can see content from anyone, they do not have to be connected first. Here you can post content but crucially cross promote your WeChat account by embedding a QR code which links to this.

‘QQ’ is another platform that for marketers that functions more like a forum for e-reputation and building relationships with consumers.

Developing a presence here is about cross promotion, quality content, answering questions and offering online incentives such as discounts and offers, the Chinese like to feel rewarded and special and often follow brands on social media because of such incentives. WeChat is the most important site for promotion so link consumers back to your fan page with your specific QR code.

2)    Utilize WeChat’s micro e-stores

The WeChat e-store is growing phenomenon. Users increasingly will access brand stores through micro stores within the WeChat application. This has the added benefit of being linked with the E-wallet, users WeChat accounts are now linked to their banking so it is simple to make purchases. The stores are highly customizable with a user friendly layout and this is a growth area for brands, consumers making purchases via a social media platform is a relatively new phenomenon.

3)    Manage E-reputation

Reputation in China is key and consumers will turn to social media and forums to research products before buying. You need to cultivate a positive sentiment towards your brand on QQ forums, WeChat, Weibo and on other general forums. Chinese consumers care greatly about the opinion on other consumers, especially their circle of family and friends. If positive reviews of your brand are shared within social circles you will attract many more customers.

4)    Utilize the QR Code

The QR code as previously mentioned is very important, it is a huge phenomenon in Asia largely because WeChat as the largest social platform developed with QR as a key element of their functionality.

Offline to Online campaigns are particularly effective with QR codes placed on physical products that when scanned link users to your WeChat page. Again it is important to offer promotional incentives and competitions as a reward for scanning the code.

5)    Tailor your content to the Chinese Market

In China there are certain tastes and types of aesthetics that the Chinese consumer is drawn to. Cartoon graphics remain very popular as do short humorous videos. Content needs to be translated into Mandarin Chinese and tailored to their interests. Spend some time looking at Chinese social networks and the type of content that is popularly shared.

It is important to realize that, with regards to social media and the Chinese digital landscape in general, this is a very different online eco-system to what we are used to around the world. This is because it developed under state regulation. Having said this a lot of traditional marketing strategies are still effective in China, they just need to be altered and tailored.

6 mistakes to avoid in E-Commerce in China

The E-commerce industry in China will be worth over 700 billion dollars by the end of 2015 with a staggering 243 million e-shoppers purchasing online. E-commerce is rapidly increasing in China with online customers not only seeking interesting deals, but also an excellent checkout process and a high quality service. With increasing competition from a number of different online platforms one mistake in the process can lead to consumers abandoning their online purchases.

It is thus very important to improve your website to provide a top quality shopping experience and market yourself effectively.

 

Not utilizing the power of social media

 

93% of online searches in China are done on search engines like Baidu and 68% of customers look for companies on social media before buying.

SEO is important to maximize your exposure on Baidu whilst a comprehensive marketing strategy on social media platforms is very important to increase the size of one’s customer base, encourage loyalty and generate brand awareness. Companies’ posts that are popular and trending on social media have a strong influence on consumers’ decisions with individuals wanting to keep abreast of the latest consumer trends. The Chinese increasingly turn to their social network online for recommendations and advice, your posts being shared amongst user’s networks can directly lead to more sales, especially if you seek to engage and communicate with customers. Customers also want answers on social media and use it for feedback quickly. Many e-commerce companies now have an option on their WeChat to submit a query, users can then receive a reply directly from an agent seeking to resolve an issue.

It goes without saying that a high level of Chinese is necessary for social networking here, Mandarin specialists ‘Tailor Made Chinese’ have emphasized the need to learn and understand the local nuances of the language and ensure you have local expertise on hand.

Not engaging in SEO for E-Commerce websites.

It’s very important to optimize websites for Chinese search engines like Baidu to increase its sales. If your website isn’t showing up when people search on a search engine, nobody will buy your products, it’s important to optimize your website on key search engines.

It’s important to make sure that the structure of your website is well done, and that the content is relevant. Key words are very important, you want to focus on increasing your profile when a certain series of keywords are entered on Baidu, generating a buzz about an e-commerce website with other articles referencing you is an effective way to increase your ranking.

Not adapting a website for mobile

Mcommerce is increasing rapidly in China with large numbers of consumers using the plethora of apps and mobile functions to buy online via their Smartphone’s. Mobile e-commerce represents 15 billion dollars globally and by 2017, this figure is estimated to more than double, to 31 billion dollars.

The websites aesthetic design and functionality is important and a necessity. You have to optimize your website for a smaller screen size and for a better user experience on the Smartphone. Statistics suggest that 78% of Chinese users think that the websites aesthetic image on a mobile has a huge impact on their buying decision. E-Commerce websites who are not optimized for mobile will surely lose potential clients.

Not retargeting your visitors

In China, e-commerce customers often don’t buy on their first visit. Companies have to improve by personalizing the offer for the consumer, make the offers as attractive as possible and emphasize the limited time scope products and prices are available for. It is also important to re-target visitors who have purchased before, the Chinese will re-use websites they trust and feel they have a relationship with. Send out regular newsletters, members offers and have a strong presence on social media to encourage repeat purchases.

 

Not leveraging the power of visuals

Visuals are very important for Ecommerce websites. The Chinese customer cannot physically experience the product online, thus providing high quality pictures and videos to give this sense of interacting with the product has become essential. A comScore study revealed that when a product has a presentation video, 64% of the visitors are more likely to buy, they also stay on the website for an average of two more minutes longer, thus increasing the likelihood of browsing other products.

 For most of e-commerce sites in China, providing a video for each product is impossible, but there are other solutions like a 360 degree view of the product that prove popular amongst consumers.

Product page design

The product page is a vital aspect it plays an important role in terms of the consumer’s buying decision. Well designed pages will improve the customers visit, and will give them important information, it’s key to explain why it’s better to buy your product and not competitors. Avoid simply copying and pasting the product’s description without including detailed information, customers appreciate sites to go the extra mile in terms of the description and the page must be clear and accessible.

Explore different online business models in China

There are a whole host of different approaches to e-commerce in China. The subscription model is gaining popularity currently. Websites such as the ‘French Cellar’ are delivering (in this case premium wines) on a monthly basis to customers who subscribe, the consumer subscribes and has the wine selected by Nicholas Rebut, a reputable French sommelier. This business model could be adapted for many other types of western product; it is exciting and spontaneous for the Chinese consumer who trusts a specialist to select products they are less familiar with.

Teaching All Staff to Contribute to Solid SEO

Most businesses aren’t fluent in the “language of SEO and HTML” and, quite frankly, unless they’re in the Internet marketing industry, there’s no need for them to be. However, because driving traffic to your website is so critical, it is important that you—and your staff members—know some simple things that you should be doing on a regular basis to ensure that people are finding your site, learning about what you have to offer, and making positive and proactive purchase decisions.

Even if you’re outsourcing your website development and SEO work to a vendor, it’s still important that you understand the basics. Main Street ROI has organized some key SEO tips into four easy to remember categories: Research, Relevance, Reputation and Revenue. Let’s take a look at some of the top items in each category that can help your staff ensure that your efforts are serving you well.

Research

The first step in effective SEO is understanding the word and phrases that your target audience is likely using when they’re searching for businesses like yours. SEO can be “scary” for some but it’s really a very basic, very intuitive process. Here’s what you need to do:

Brainstorm the words and phrases you think people are likely to be using

•         Find out what the real search volume is for these words and phrases using a (free) tool like Google’s AdWords planner.
•         Check out what your competition is up to by looking at their title tags, and keywords. You’ll find some great tips for doing that here.
•          Organize your keywords into categories.
•          Prioritize your keywords based on search volume and your own goals and objectives.
•          Test your keywords with pay-per-click (PPC) to see if they work.

It’s not a difficult process but, yes, it does take time. It’s important that you set aside the time to think carefully about your audience, and your competition, as you determine which keywords are likely to perform best for you. Remember it’s about how they are likely to be searching for businesses like yours and not about the “buzzwords” that people on the inside tend to use.

Relevance

Once you’ve identified the keywords that are likely to work best for you, the next step is using those keywords on your website. You’ll want to make sure that your keywords are used throughout your website in a variety of places: title tags, meta description, body copy, headers, your URL and images.

Keeping your content up-to-date and refreshing it regularly can definitely help with SEO. One relatively easy way to do this, while keeping content top-of-mind is by adding a blog to your website. WordPress is a great tool to use here; get into the habit of updating your blog at least once a month (once a week is best).

Finally, create a Google+ local profile, verify your listing and make sure to incorporate your keyword into Google+. 

Reputation

Reputation in the world of online search is all about links—when other reputable Internet sites have links to your content that’s a signal that you have something of value to offer. The highest quality links come from trusted websites that have used “editorial discretion” in their selection of sites to link to. Try to get links from domains that are related to your business, that come from a wide range of other domains and that link to multiple places on your website—not just your homepage. Directories are a good starting point for attaining links. Submit your website to major national business directories, local directories and industry-specific directories.

Social media is a great way to get links back to your site. Consider which channels (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, and others) make the most sense for you based on your target audience. Then develop a presence by creating an account, reaching out to potential followers and publishing content that is useful to that audience.

Revenue

When it comes to effective online marketing, generating revenue is what it’s all about. Once you’ve taken steps to get ranked in Google so that people can easily find you online, you need to make sure that those clicks turn into customers. That requires a combination of developing compelling copy that results in some desired action and carefully evaluating what’s happening online so you can continually improve your results.

When writing content focus on these seven key factors:

1.       Attention-getting headlines

2.       Customer-focused copy (it’s about them, not about you)

3.       Unique selling proposition (what makes you different, and better?)

4.       Irresistible offers

5.       A clear call-to-action (what do they need to do to buy your product?)

6.       Social proof (testimonials and endorsements)

7.       Credibility indicators

Track results through tools like Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools and Firefox RankChecker. Effective SEO is an ongoing process of continually trying new things, determining what works and making improvements on an ongoing basis. The beauty of online marketing is that it is so measurable. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be constantly discovering new ways to boost traffic, engagement and, ultimately, sales.

Finally, one important consideration: choose your Internet marketing vendors carefully. There are many out there; some are very good, some—unfortunately—are very bad.

Managing Website SEO and User Experience

One generally comes through a common phrase when designing a website i.e. don’t focus on search engines while designing the website, instead the focus should be on delivering a great user experience. Very few people have a clear idea about the difference between the two. The general question that is raised is – can a good user experience as well as effective SEO strategy be implemented at the same time for the betterment of the website? Providing answer for it is difficult for any one as there is very thick line between both of these essential qualities a website must equipped with.

The answer for the question is – YES, but there are some restrictions which have to be taken care of. The website’s navigation should be proper so that users can easily navigate within the website and it becomes easy for them to locate what they are looking for. The most importantly, we should try that they keep coming back repeatedly. A website when provide more and more comfort to its users became their favourite as it ease their task of decision making.

Here I am sharing 4 Best ways to balance SEO and User Experience what we are applying with our CloudBooks  and getting positive response.

1. Avoid Repetitive Use of Keywords

Using a keyword is important in order to increase the ranking of a website in the search results algorithm. But be careful, the Google search algorithm is tough enough to detect that the keywords are being stuffed or being used in a natural way. Google’s updates such as Panda and Penguin always have an eye on website quality and penalize websites that do not adhere to their guidelines and use irrelevant keywords in order to rank better.

The best alternative option can be to use it in title tags, ALT tags of the images, and defining URL related to the keyword being used. Having keywords 2-3 times in a natural way makes sense. This let Google assume that the content is focused on the keyword which is being stressed 2-3 times and thus helps to boost ranking for search terms related to that keyword.

2. Updating Website at regular Interval

Changing a website from scratch at regular interval is not possible, but one can regularly publish new articles or update the existing ones so that the website keeps on indexing at regular interval in search engines. Initiating regular research work on what the audience is looking for and then catering their requirements through the website content can be a lot beneficial. Giving new information about the service or product provide a good reason for the users to keep coming back and checking the latest offerings and updates.

3. Simplify Navigation

Users generally land on a website page to find solutions to their problems and get their requirements at ease. If they don’t find it, they can move to another website. Therefore, navigation becomes important in order to serve the audience in a proper way.  One should study and understand the requirements of the audience and then use that information to ease the navigation process. The title of the path should be clear so that users have a clear understanding about the page they are going to. Studies have shown that sometime highlighting or changing the font of navigation link helps in more purchase and increase in the conversion rate of the website.

4. Incorporate Responsive Designing

Google and other search engines have realised the importance of having mobile friendly website and have considered it as a ranking factor in mobile and other devices search results. Website optimized for mobile now directly has the impact on search presence. Responsive designing have been the best solution for most of professional IT firms as it adapts itself on desktops, laptops tablets and phones. This also eases the way website adapts itself to certain changes in devices and provides the comfort of navigation on any of them.

There are several other ways by which one can keep a balance between user experience and SEO, the only thing one should focus is giving comfort to visitors so that they enjoy navigating the website and love to visit it in future. These 2 are very important features for any website and cannot be neglected at any cost. The only thing is it have to be incorporated in best possible way so as to yield good profitable result.

WeChat and social media in China

Social media in China is a unique proposition; due to state censorship the traditional social networks that we know in the west have not been able to establish themselves here. As a result social networks in China are mostly domestic, home grown platforms that are catering for the Chinese market in a unique and specialized way.

WeChat is now the most important platform for marketers and businesses to be engaged with in China. It is the number one social networking platform with over 500 million users. There has been a social networking revolution in China with more people than any other nation on the planet now using social media.

The Chinese are incredibly active on platforms such as WeChat. Chinese internet users spend about 40% of their 25 hours/week online on social networks’. More time on social networks leads to more exposure to content and a higher number of interactions. The Chinese are avid consumers so knowing how to market yourself on social media, particularly WeChat is of paramount importance.

WeChat is a fully integrated platform which serves as an instant messaging service (written, videos or sound bites), a wallet (it is linked to Alipay), and now a taxi ordering application.

Here is some top advice for western brands looking to market themselves on WeChat:

1) Create an official subscription account.

Users can follow subscription accounts to receive updates and content that you post. On WeChat users can only see posts by those they are following so it is vital to build a following; your marketing endeavors will inevitably fail otherwise. Consumers appreciate discounts and promotions that are offered exclusively to subscribers, the Chinese like unique offers so provide these as an incentive to increase your following.

2) Utiize the Key Opinion Leader (KOL)

The KOL is an interesting phenomenon in China, these are personalities whom already have a large following on WeChat. They are considered 'experts' on particular subjects. You need to find the KOL that is relevant to your brand and seek to recruit them to post positive content on behalf of your company. You can access thousands if not millions of potential consumers in this way. Users are very influenced by the KOL's thoughts and opinions.

3) QR Codes

QR Codes have exploded in Asia, they are much more popular than in the west. Ensure that in all your advertising there are QR codes prominently embedded so that users can easily scan them, this will then directly link them to your WeChat account. This is an effective way of linking your online marketing with offline marketing, QR codes are often now included on physical products such as Starbucks coffee cups or bottles of water in China.

4) The Chinese are strongly influenced by their social circle

Engage with consumers, you will need to translate your posts and content into mandarin, but people will really appreciate direct communication. Users like to feel involved with and part of a brand. The key is that Chinese consumers are strongly influenced by their immediate social circle, they often turn to social media for information because they increasingly distrust traditional media sources. It is therefore vital that you are engaging with consumers and their social circle, create promotional offers that the whole family can benefit from. The Chinese place real trust in other users comments and experiences regarding a brand so cultivate relationships with consumers in order to influence others.

5) Create interesting, shareable content

There is a high degree of legitimacy in what other users post. Chinese consumers look to share interesting content. The Chinese particularly love video animations or humorous clips, associating your brand with this type of content is key. What a user shares amongst their network can have a profound effect. A certain style of cartoon animal graphics are very popular in the middle kingdom currently.

6) Do not neglect Weibo

Weibo (akin to Twitter) is China's second largest social network with 400 million users. It is a micro-blogging platform that is more 'open' than WeChat. Users can see posts from anyone, even if they are not connected. Lots of Chinese internet users will be on multiple platforms so cross promotion is key. You can embed WeChat QR codes into content posted on Weibo to increase your following.

With over 500 million users increasingly relying on WeChat for their information it is important to be seen on this platform, if not you are largely invisible in China.
