Azoya’s new whitepaper is a go-to-market guide with timely, practical recommendations for emerging beauty, fashion, and wellness brands. Right now, these categories are particularly important, as Single’s Day, sales are underway in China, and this shopping festival marks the biggest retail event in the world. This whitepaper shares global e-commerce and digital marketing best practices to help international brands break into the lucrative market among digital-savvy shoppers.

The increasing popularity of the direct-to-consumer model is one of the biggest retail trends in China influenced by the pandemic. For many brands, a long-run DTC model is proving cost-effective, as the pandemic disrupted global supply chains and left many other brands struggling to keep up with ever-changing consumer demands.

The direct-to-consumer business model has unparalleled advantages over traditional retail. First, brands can provide high-quality products at accessible price points. Brands can determine a more stable pricing strategy via a DTC model. A DTC brand sells products to targeted consumers directly rather than through a distribution channel or retail store. As such, DTC brands can garner their loyal customers by streamlining the supply chain, which makes communication faster and clearer.

DTC brands can apply the whitepaper’s analysis to differentiate their offerings, deliver a superior experience and earn engagement, trust, and sales among Chinese consumers. The whitepaper develops specific DTC sales channel strategies to boost e-commerce profitability by analyzing China’s leading sales channels to uncover emerging trends and different customer segments relevant to DTC brands. The piece takes an in-depth dive into popular e-commerce and social commerce destinations like Tmall Global, JD Worldwide, WeChat, Douyin, and Little Red Book. It includes case studies of how DTC strategy improved performance results for brands like Huda Beauty, Life-Space, and Stylenanda.

China’s cross-border import market became a ‘dark horse’ that thrives on returning overseas travel retail consumption. In the meantime, China is undergoing a consumption upgrade and fostering the growth of cross-border consumption between global retailers and Chinese consumers. A recent survey found Chinese shoppers appreciate cross-border e-commerce, which remains one of the fast-growing shopping channels in China. According to iResearch’s1 analysis in July, China’s cross-border e-commerce sales are expected to surpass 350 billion RMB (US$55 billion) in 2022, an increase of 28% year-over-year.
