3 great strategies on the Social Medias in ChinaComments OffToday there is more than 600 million internet users in China, and they all use the social Medias, every time. It’s essential to be present in the social media when doing business in China. Here are three great strategies on the social Medias in China.
1. Using O2O
O2O is a digital marketing strategy that means Online-to-offline. It’s the concept to attract consumers by internet to make them go on te shops. A lot of social Medias use this technic. We find amongt the most active WeChat. IT’s a mobile app which allows its users to send texts messages, vocals messages, photos and videos. It was developed by Tencent in 2011. There is now 468 million users each month. This app is more used than the texts in China. WeChat also allows companies to be in by having a site: like that users can follow this page and be aware of the news of the company. Here we can set up O2O. The company has to describe its products well on the app to allow its followers to know its services. This is a first step which will conduct people in the shops. This strategy is very effective and make themselves known very quickly and by a large number of people, because everything can be shared on a social media and Chinese internet users who like a company will enjoy sharing it with its address book. A lot of companies have already used this strategy. For example, Mont Blanc, pen maker, set up a exposition in Shanghai, and invite all its WeChat followers to come to the exposition. Thereby, all Mont Blanc lovers have been made aware of this event, more quickly than if the company just indicate this event on its websites.
2. Creating Buzz
Creating buzz is a very used technique, either in digital or traditional marketing. This is the key to be known quickly and by a lot of people. Doing buzz is all about creating something special, unique, new, something that will attract consumers’ attention. The objective is primarily to make people talk about you. And where can you make people talk about yourself quickly and by many people in China? On social networks course. And to be truly effective, all social networks have to be used, as we are sure not to forget interested consumers especially on the Chinese Internet. We must distinguish ourselves from other companies in direct competition, socreate something never seen, surprising. Many Chinese users spend their time on social networks to find new content, something that will change the ordinary to be able to show his friends and share it. For this, Weibo is the best social network. This is a microblogging platform extensively used by Chinese people. Founded in 2009 by Sina, a Chinese company, it brings together a community of 500 million users, 50 million monthly. It is the undisputed platform to disseminate the buzz. Like the O2O, this technique is widely used by companies but also people like Wang Sicong who is very active on Weibo and created a buzz by commenting and by speaking in an original way to people. This technique has made its reputation.
3. Having a good content
Of course the edited content has to show a good quality. This includes two things: the content has to be true facts, that is to say, good references , verifiable data, and content in Chinese. As for the true content, make sure that what you put on social networks is verifiable and accurate. Chinese high end consumers like the right information because the Chinese Internet is being widely censored by the government and it is sometimes difficult to get fully complete informations. Then it is necessary that the content is in Chinese. This is essential. Many Chinese citizens speak only Chinese, and do not understand English. In addition, for those who speak other languages, it is always nice to have its mother tongue on a site rather than having to translate everything. Chinese content will also be closer to them rather than if that content appears to have been done for the whole world. Another thing to consider: the photos and videos. It’s more comfortable to watch a video or read a text with photographs rather than having to read just a text. It is important, therefore, to add to its page on social networking videos and pictures (the best would be of course translated in Chinese). People are pretty lazy by nature and are more likely to watch a video rather than read a text. This is very visible for advertising campaigns where photos and videos illustrate this campaign.

Chinese SNS: Perish Before Old(0)The “Perish Before Old” condition of Chinese SNS sites now is a phenomenon. Entering 2010, smaller SNS sites that belong to the first generation of Chinese SNS sites fell down one after another, and on the death list are 360quan.com, Mayi.com and other SNS sites.
The giants are having a tough time of “Growing Pains” too. After experience a fast growth of 60 million registered users in 2008 and 2009 , Kai Xin (kaixin001.com) now have found their loyal users are turning away, cancelling their accounts. In the following 10 months after their big leap, there were only 25 million users. It is only the history that their users used to get up in midnight to play their web page games.
Let’s look at the west. Facebook has attracted a total of 500 million registered users, and advertisers have increased their advertisement budget on facebook.com by at least 10 times in the past year.
According to Hitwise, a market research company, Facebook has topped Google.com, winning the title of “Largest Website of the U.S.”. It has also become the largest advertisement publisher, instead of Yahoo.com. The first quarter market share is 16%, higher than that of the last fourth quarter.
After reading the above, you may be thinking “What have the Chinese SNS sites done wrong?”
One of the most crucial issue is the fact that they lack technical creation
Copying the west looks like an ordinary internet business model, even some of China’s major Internet businesses such Tencent, which is very famous for their ability of imitation in the circle. The are some people that believe “Who copys profits.”
This is more of a working routine now in the world of SNS sites. Both Kai Xin and Renren copy their western counterpart, facebook.com. This is truth.
Let’s wait and see where Chinese SNS sites will head for.
Youku CEO said: ‘Video industry is take off the hat of burning money’(0)At present, known as “the most money-burning” video industry began to farewell “input without output” state, entered a virtuous cycle stage.
Insiders said a large-scale video website should across at least three “100 million” thresholds to be successful. Currently, Youku, Tudou and Ku6 crossed thresholds.
Zhao Xufeng, senior analyst, said in just four years, the the video industry market size increased from the original 100 million to 1.36 billion, up to 92% compound annual growth rate. It was expected in the next few years, the video industry would continue to maintain the annual growth rate of more than 60%, to 2013, advertising revenues will exceed 10 billion yuan, reaching 10.86 billion.
China accepted WTO ruling allowing joint ventures to distribute music online(0)The United States once sued China because of it put obstacles on import and distribution of books, music, movies and other entertainment products.
Committing to fulfilling WTO ruling means the Chinese have to adjust its import policy on American movies, audio and video products and books. China is allowed to retain import rights of two Chinese state-owned film distributors, and protect the Chinese government to have a degree of right to censor foreign films without increasing the annual quota of 20 foreign films for import. However, China cannot forbid the United States and other foreign enterprises to export to China movies, music, video games and books, and allow the joint venture to distribute music on Internet.
It is known that starting from 2003, Chinese domestic films at the box office have been beating imported films for 6 years. Market participants believe that, by contrast, audio-visual products may suffer more. Yesterday, reporter interviewed Tai He Mai Tian, in which Song Ke said that China’s future policy changes would not seriously affect the Chinese original recording industry, he also believed that this would do good to the show market.
You Shi net: business SNS minority(0)When we are still indulged in “stealing vegetables” “grab parking lots” based community, in the United States, a social networking site called LinkedIn is doing business fast, and now covers more than 50% of U.S. white-collar crowd with annual revenues of more than 100 million U.S. dollars.
A guy named Lu Hansen with China and Philippines origins returned to China in 2008 and founded a business networking platform in China – You Shi Net. Different from other sites, You Shi Net is minority of “Real name invitation Membership Fees You Shi currency”
Recently, the reporter was informed You Shi Net got millions of dollars ventures investment. As for the specific amount of investment, Lu Hansen said a big new fund was going to come in immediately, but it was not convenient to disclose details for this moment.
First batch of members are from investment professionals
Before starting this site, Lu Hansen has been successfully established in Canada a very international community sites – WorldFriends, targeting at the cross-cultural network, looking for foreign pen pal, getting travel information and a platform for learning a foreign language.
Lu seems very experienced in how to run the community, as he found his business model before its inception in WorldFriends, not only just selling advertising space, the site also allows users to have a few ways of upgrades with different priority functions: for example, if a user can pay the cost of 24.95 U.S. dollars per month, he can post contact information (such as email, instant messaging, voice and video chat information) to all users; if a user pays 244.95 U.S. dollars a year, he can post contacts and get contacts from all users for free.
YouTube was in secret delegation to enter China; Prospect not optimistic(0)Jidong.com relevant source disclosed that, about two weeks ago, more than 10 YouTube United States staff visited jidong.com to discuss matters relating to entering China. In the preliminary negotiation both sides reached the current strategy, YouTube opened special channel at jidong.com to output huge amount of video resources to user.
Last week, Hulu CEO had a “secret meeting” with a number of domestic video sites leaders including jidong.com. Chairman Lv Wensheng from jidong.com said he was optimistic about this interacting sharing model of YouTube.
On May 12 jidong.com announced officially it was issued by the State Council Information Office of the “Internet News Information Service License”, and became the first private video site holding news license. Industry analyst said YouTube selected jidong.com to indirectly enter China was because jidong.com was the first private video site with news license, which can avoid some policy risk. But till now, none of these sites was making profit; even the ku6 was in loss, which was backdoor listed at stock market though hurray, therefore, these foreign video sites prospects are not optimistic.
