A growing market easy to approach? With a market benefiting from such development, the Chinese e-commerce will definitely see developing a growing number of actors, each trying to capture a piece of the pie.

Yet it is far from easy when a group already has a virtual monopoly on such a market and sites becoming a natural reflex among Chinese consumers.

These two sites e-commerce being those that come first to mind of consumers. Under these conditions, it is literally a battle that awaits all digital player in e-commerce wishing to question the leader Alibaba position. Who will dare to start?

Fields : How a e-commerce website in China can emerge

Fields : How a e-commerce website in China can emerge


Interview of the Founder of Steve Liang on Yourstory

Steve Liang: I started when I was 39 fields and at a major crossroads in my life. All I knew was that I wanted to focus on ethics, fair trade and appropriate business practices that not tolerate corruption.
This is our current mission statement for the fields. Our first version:
"CHAMPS is a premium online food retailer that offers high quality, safe, compliant products to retail customers in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. It provides a friendly, reliable and professional service through a user-friendly website and attractive. CHAMPS offers up a structure through sustainable "costs.


I want to highlight the first sentence. we want to create a world-class company, good ethical business practices, zero corruption policy that supports and promotes social responsibility. This is our brand and philosophy that we all live by the fields. This, I believe, clearly resonates with everyone and we return every time we make big decisions, difficult in our management meetings.
Instrumental to the survival of the field for more than four years, was our first investor, TZG partners. To start a business in China or a country, it must be hard work, courage, patience, resilience and luck. Luck will only happen if you practice these first four values.

the story

My first encounter with TZG Partners was very random. Co-founder of TZG, Josh, was the husband of a client in my previous job and they orchestrated a meeting between us. At that time, I was so down and I did not really want to meet Element Fresh in Shanghai Centre Portman. Running on my last thousand RMB, I feared that I would have to pay for a bill for breakfast which I really do not have the money. I already had a ticket to return to Kansas, United States, and I resigned myself to be an engineer again. Fortunately, Josh paid for breakfast and even gave me a ride back to my apartment, allowing me to save 2RMB on the bus ticket. After a week of negotiations, I began CHAMPS Monday. We met March 9, 2009 and March 13, CHAMPS is born. And Monday, March 16 I made my first sale and officially began my wild and uncertain turn with fields. Growth so far Yes, the field is growing fast enough that the desire and demand for healthy food in China increases. As I said, we started the company in 2009. From 2010 to 2012, our business has grown over 180% each year, while revenues increased by 220%. In 2009, we delivered only in Shanghai, but now we deliver in 7 other cities of Jiangsu province and Zhejiang (Hangzhou, Suzhou, Taicang, Ningbo, Nanjing, Wuxi and Changzhou) Experience starting in China As I said earlier, to start a business in China or a country, it must be hard work, courage, patience, resilience and luck. Luck will only happen if you practice these first four values.
We are growing rapidly, we have a significant amount of competition and we are in transition from a bootstrap start a small business, but we still do not want to lose our starting values. And even after the recent funding, we must be more careful with our money. Be frugal and doing "good things" with our money is really important.


It is rewarding to work FIELDS, but it is also very difficult. When I started this business, TZG 40,000RMB me to build the business. On the first day, we had a bootstrap mentality where savings being warned and produces results was paramount. To do this, we performed two objectives: we practice our business ethics; and secondly, we need to show results immediately. No sales means no income and no be able to pay our bills. We need to get sales quickly and be efficient with what we do. When I see all obstacles in the operations, I am frustrated. Often, I have perspective to see how we have grown and improved in the past. It boils down to finding the best talent and make them work together as a team.

Fields Strategy

However, having the right incubator / VC investor / PE / angel is often important for the survival and growth of a company. A good investor will usually frustrating endless 99% of the time. But that 1% of the time when they are really good, they save you from catastrophic events. And 1%, it is useful to have professional investors. Fields was incredibly lucky with the partnership TZG.
We also expect our partnerships with new investors will be as fruitful. But when I look back now, TZG taught me to focus and develop strategies really. They coached me and made me incredibly hard, strong and resistant in the management of a company. They helped and supported me in become better leader more difficult. And I think my relationship with TZG (Ben, Josh, and Tony) is for the better and stronger on all the difficult and trying times that we lived. E-commerce in China - potential learning challenges? TZG also contributed greatly to the strategy. It took us about nine months to properly develop our business plan and strategy to get us where we are today. Several times we thought and discussed the possibility of opening stores in various locations within Shanghai. We used to debate endlessly about opening an online store against. And I am happy that whenever Josh told me politely "NO"! He stressed the importance of focusing on a single trade and how important it was for us to prove to TZG, clients and future investors on the viability of being online only. This strategy paid off with our Series A financing (see attached press release).


The second strategy that paid was our investment in operations. The majority of our capital expenditures were invested in equipment and warehouse trucks. For fields to make our sustainable business, we have taken a different path. We chose the path of higher margins and quality. As expats, we did not have the ability to communicate effectively with customers in China, I am not able to do "guanxi" marketing business channel huge gift and I'm not talented enough to perform a rapid growth , scalable business as Yihaodian (founders who are also amazingly intelligent and common sense). These guys have done some amazing things. By comparison, only four years after CHAMPS still a fraction of what they have accomplished at the same time.
With higher margins, we had to do vertical integration and the packaging meant, cutting and delivery of our own products. Packing and slaughter is a very simple that most grocery stores in the United States are part of their own butcher idea. However, bringing our internal logistics and internal management was initially against-intuitive.
In 2009, the consensus was that making our own delivery was perhaps not the smartest strategic decision that we should rather focus on marketing and selling our products and delivery to entrust a third party. It was that other online companies were doing and we were wondering if we should do that too. We laughed from having a delivery system managed internally is expensive, causes many headaches and operation means that we do not concentrate our energy and resources in the right areas.

Hiring: One of the biggest challenges

One of my biggest problems right now is the recruitment and expansion of this business. Because we're doing something so different from most Chinese business, our biggest problem is to recruit the best talent. It is difficult to get people to understand and still buy into the philosophy of what we do, which is:
Focus on research and provide consistent worldwide products for our customers with high quality, safe, and. We prefer local and organic foods if possible, selective where not possible.
Providing high quality, safe and consistent is difficult to do every day. And to be consistent is even more difficult, especially as we are open 365 days a year, no matter what holiday and no matter how the weather is. We ship every day and we expect to deliver high quality products. Getting people to understand and live this philosophy is what I do for the past five years. Which brings us to recruit and retain the best talent. That's what we want to do:

Fields China : We support and reward excellent motivated team

We recruit and reward people who want to excel in their work. We train and take care of our employees, to foster an environment focused on results, happiness and creativity. We create a workplace that values and benefits from various skills and experience of our employees.
Recently, we completed and closed our first round of Series A financing or talk about venture capital. In our fundraising efforts during the past year, both funds have joined fields. The first investor is the federal capital, an angel investor in Taiwan (Andy Wang) and the second is Clearvue Partners (CVP), a private equity professional risk supported with a talented team (Will Chen, Harry Hui, Irene Cai) with strong funding and, most importantly, impressive knowledge in detail.
It is an exciting time to be in the fields. We plan to use this investment to improve our operations, website, warehouse and recruit top talent, but also in touch with you, the customer, by strengthening our service, quality, and community. During the next year, you will see more convenience in our delivery service, unique products, more interesting fruits and vegetables, more seafood and meats and more transparency. A happy life begins with fresh, nutritious and healthy foods.

For Alibaba, a key component of this year is the ability to connect with Chinese consumers brands and overseas retailers.

News about Alibaba Giant Ecommerce leader

Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is preparing to launch the largest IPO in history Thursday, which is expected to rise to $ 24 billion. However, the company is not familiar to those outside of China, where almost all of its business is registered. So what's Alibaba, and why is it worth so much money?
Alibaba was founded by Jack Ma, a former English teacher in 1999, Ma is now one of the richest men in China, with estimates of its value ranging from $ 12 to $ 21 billion .
The company founded Ma of China, and by some measures, the largest e-commerce company in the world. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company manages 80% of e-commerce in China, with transactions on its sites, totaling $ 248 billion last year.

Alibaba websites 

The company operates several online markets in China, including Tmall, an online retailer Amazon style; Taobao, an auction site similar to eBay online; and Juhuasuan and a Chinese version of Groupon.
In addition, the company has Alipay.com, the Chinese equivalent of PayPal; and has large stakes in Sina Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter; Youku Tudou and the closest Chinese equivalent of YouTube. Alipay, however, is not part of the deal in Thursday's IPO. According to Forbes, in 2011 Alibaba chief Jack Ma took personal ownership of Alipay, Alibaba withdraw, reasoning that foreign investors can not be involved in a company providing third party payment services in China.


The structure is also important Alibaba. The company has an unusual partnership structure, consisting of a group of 27 managers dubbed the "partnership Alibaba," who have the power to appoint the majority of members of the Board of Directors. Alibaba said the arrangement will preserve its culture of innovation in a booming sector and reduce distractions of fluctuations in financial markets, according to a report by the Associated Press.

Jack Ma

This organizational structure allows "Jack Ma and his team realize the value of ... [their capital] in society, in the meantime they can keep control of the company, using the partnership structure," according to Professor Zhang Yan Anthea, the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. Part of the reason why Alibaba is listed on the NYSE, rather than Hong Kong, is that the regulations of the latter refused such a structure, then they are acceptable for a list of United States.

Despite the phenomenal growth of Alibaba, the company has very little penetration in international markets. Moreover, despite attracting the interest of American institutional investors (Yahoo already owns 22 percent of the company) retail investors have so far not been affected in similar numbers. "Despite the hype about Alibaba, the average investor in the street does not know that Alibaba is or what they do," Lee S. Rawiszer, capital management Paradigm Financial Partners in Westport, Conn., Says the Wall Street Journal.

"Because [Alibaba] will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, it must follow all the rules of the exchange. Needless to disclose more information on their financial statements and strategy. Such increased monitoring and more transparent financial reporting will allow Alibaba to build his credibility outside of China, and help it penetrate foreign markets, "said Professor Zhang Yan Anthea.

The challenge for Western companiess looking for China marke Share in the online Market


The challenges facing a Western company looking for China market share online are more in proportion to the size of the opportunity, and this opportunity is growing daily.

JD

Certainly JD.com 20% of business consumers in the China market, but it is mostly a platform for retail, just beginning to emulate the capacity of individual suppliers Tmall pioneered . This kind of autonomous approach to the development of e-commerce in China will be more for the deep pocket or timing out yourself

 300millions online shopper

China passed the 300 million online shoppers last year, which represents 25 per cent yoy growth, while the total e-commerce transactions rose 30 percent to $ 1 64 trillion.
Settle on the Chinese market is a tempting prospect, especially given the insatiable China, but largely unmet physical access to Western goods and services. But a number of significant barriers exist, and I do not just mean the language and culture.
Hosting an online restrictively slow Internet ecosystem, and to adapt to the mobile trends of China pose technological challenges. Meanwhile, the Chinese e-commerce consolidation of some massive platforms makes buying traffic more expensive, and the conversion rate on an ever lower self site.
In my role as a digital agency based in Beijing, I am constantly exploring strategies and tools for Western companies looking to launch in China. In the past, it was not an easy answer for every business, but recently has changed with platforms Chinese e-commerce solving many challenges and Tmall Alibaba having by far the wisest choice of these platforms.

tmall.com
Last year Tmall, retail website Alibaba, half controlled $ 300B consumer business in the Chinese market by continually improving on two fronts: the total transparency for the customer and the empowerment of the seller.
Benefits capabilities Tmall were sufficiently explicit to convince international brands with cache use the platform. Fears of competition in the gray market and higher brand dilution kept the leading brands such as Burberry and Estée Lauder near Tmall. But these concerns have not deterred many other less known Western brands with budgets much smaller marketing, committing to the platform.
So what, exactly, do Tmall do?

 Alibaba

These two requirements are avoided by the state of the art accommodation Alibaba, which provides the fastest charge time through the third largest country in the world, most Internet users in the world.
Tmall also takes care of mobility concerns trademarks, leader in the field suitable for all browsers and devices Chinese design.

Social media 

A number of applications are also Tmall that allow Western companies easy access to online shoppers in this culture to the vertical would most under-Weitao, a social e-commerce application with millions of visitors daily are actually seeking social brand messaging. Seamless integration with other Chinese massive social channels like Weibo and Wechat are other benefits Tmall.

For brands concerned that the transition to Tmall a race to the bottom, Tmall has a rich set of tools that allow a security mark to erase the gray market right track.
The memory manufacturer Micron, Crucial, provides a good example of the use of new capabilities Tmall for this purpose. The company has set up a Chinese version of its memory selector on its new flagship.
An objection to Tmall is the high level of customer service await on the site - live chat support during business hours, and preferably after hours as well. Moreover, it is now common practice for all successful e-commerce site in China.
However, Crucial adapted not only the formation of a team of customer service of the crack, but also reproducing the tool that made ​​sales on its original seamlessly site. A visitor Store Tmall Crucial can now quickly identify the mark of his computer model and making the desired level of performance, then see which product is best suited to the task. The store now sells product in the middle of the night without live support necessary to make the sale.


Interactive tools are by no means the only way Tmall keeps pushing the envelope on UX. Embedded videos and other multimedia capabilities provide the kind of experience ecommerce Chinese online buyers expect and offer options for Western companies to communicate their brand stories. "Vans" Off the Wall "page, a gnarled series of photos and videos attaching the brand to its roots in the punk scene in California is a good example of what is now possible.

Brand presence

Establish a brand presence-guarantee Tmall requires patient procedure, as does any commercial undertaking in good faith in China. But Tmall solve technical challenges and proved more than a clone Amazon in terms of user experience. Perhaps even more important is the platform most Chinese online shoppers know and trust, the landing page to the payment gateway. Tmall where e-commerce is the action of China.

Ranking good on Baidu(SEO) help for the Ecommerce

Ranking good on Baidu(SEO) help for the Ecommerce 

The positioning system Baidu is special

In recent years, through technical trade copied western systems, China continues to evolve and capture the attention of the world by his prowess. Furthermore the Chinese are important number, it is also proved that their powers were sufficiently improved shopping so much that they want producers in the world regardless of its business areas. However, it is well known that breaking into the Chinese market is not an easy task.


Indeed, in addition to the language, we must also understand Chinese culture and administration to implant. Furthermore, the existence of various censors in several areas is a further obstacle to this. And those who want to win customers in China must take these factors into account.

Baidu for better visibility

With the advent of new technologies including the Internet, China currently has the search tool which is Baidu. Also to attract potential customers in China, should already working its visibility on Baidu. Designed, there is more than 13 years, this search engine is fast becoming the first Chinese research tool because it conducts research in Mandarin. And over 80% of Chinese consults daily when they are looking for information and this figure is increasing with time. However before they can present on Baidu, several parameters must be taken into account because the experts found that Baidu SEO techniques are not identical to those used by conventional search engines.


The parameters to be considered for a position on Baidu

Indeed, from the design of a site, even if it belongs to companies other than Chinese, buying a Chinese field is mandatory and must it also be hosted in China. Fortunately by the presence of numerous specialists in the field companies, it is easy to find the necessary links to register the domain and hosting Chinese in China. Then, given the context of Chinese culture, the choice of keywords is crucial. Whether for SEO in page or for those to put in the contents of the site itself. Indeed, given the censorship in China, it is crucial to choose the information displayed at the top of the page. Knowing that everything related to sex or money are censored. Regarding SEO Offpage Baidu is the number of links that lead back to the site who wins, there are more links that converge on the site, the more it is detected as soon as possible by Baidu. To do this, Baidu has tools and pay generators keywords like Google Adwords to help businesses services. And finally, should the site content to be translated into Mandarin. Also in all the actions to be taken, where possible, should use all the services of Baidu for proper positioning and referencing itself.

The home page is the showcase of your site

Baidu is especially attention to the homepage of the site and tend to neglect the other pages. A home page will have more weight than a page appendix.
Baidu considers the home page of a site, but gives little importance to deep pages of a site. The "Sitelinks" function is less developed in the results of Baidu. A home page will have more weight against a schedule page.

URLs and .com / .cn are preferred over keywords

Baidu to what counts are the absolute URL, keywords in the URL more than keywords. Phonetic transcription of Chinese characters, pinyin will tip the balance. Baidu a clear preference for com. Cn and.. Yes, the first Chinese!

The indexing time

To assess the relevance of the information, Baidu takes into account the date of indexation. In practice recently indexed page will receive a bonus. Giant Chinese search engines therefore prefers recent information, which means that older articles can be found very quickly relegated to the background. One of the criteria of relevance information for Baidu is the date of indexation; a newly indexed page will receive a bonus. The Chinese search engine therefore preferred new and old items go down very quickly.

Tourism will usher in the search field or disruptive pattern

Tourism will usher in the search field or disruptive pattern


Travel search market has been occupied by giants such as TripAdvisor SkyScanner and other companies is difficult to slice. These giants integrate information from many tickets and hotel suppliers to help customers quickly and efficiently comparison service, review and price.



However, consumers are searching, especially if you choose the way of tourism services has shown disruptive change the trend, these changes will provide an excellent opportunity to develop even the creation of new service model for other travel service providers. This is undoubtedly a contest in time, many travel search site leader has satisfied these services as their main product. Here are a few major trends worth noting:

Happy Elements


The internet has made travel more commercialized and making the price has become a decisive factor in the purchase decision. However, the situation has undergone some changes, travelers are increasingly concerned about the quality and ease of travel throughout the journey, not just the price.

The hotel industry uses user reviews for many years, the airline has only recently started using the evaluation factors other than price, such as the "convenience", "pain" and "pleasure" and so on. Momondo uses a simple version, based on ticket prices different date ranges, showing smiling or frowning face. Hipmunk's "misery index" filter to help users find the most convenient flights. Most creative is Routehappy, the site was founded in late 2013, the site shows a "happiness index", they not only calculate the price, speed and other factors, also considered the local service facilities, such as seats, legroom, wi -fi and traveler ratings.

I believe this is the future direction of ticket booking, the same as the hotel industry. Show user reviews and photos, additional flight entertainment facilities, food, service crew and other information will allow consumers to fully understand a flight and its services, to determine whether the reservation. Leading travel search site can do to achieve this goal, or that it can provide some creative travel services companies to showcase their chance?

Semantic Search


Semantic search allows users to freely enter the statement, and the real needs of users digging through literally. Google search, Wolfram Alpha and Siri will allow users to get full understanding of the answer.

The tourism industry is very strong demand for this, although there is still a long way to go. FACT-Finder's CEO predicted semantic search in 2020 will spread to the tourism industry, the question is "Tourism Services Chamber of Commerce derive what good is it?"

Adioso is the first company to offer a single field search site, users can enter "double romantic beach two weeks' field, rather than enter a specific destination and date. Zaptravel provide a more "humane" way to search and provide recommendations based on those searches holiday, like Amadeus in its new B2C travel site to do the same. There are many start-up companies in expanding semantic search business, but whether there will be a truly subversive brand in travel services accounted for a certain market share?

Visual search


Travel information is particularly suitable for use visually display, most travel companies over the years, especially a lot of big brands, are using the visual content. Airlines, hotels and OTA were all Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and other social media on your site and make full use of visual elements. Google Street View's latest product "Google Street View tour guide" to use this function better.

Travel search companies do not seem to keep up with this trend, they still will focus attention on parity function, service and price. Tripinview provides a visual way to search for interesting holiday destination, the goal is challenging venture company, namely shooting coastline destination from above (by helicopter), allowing users to bird's-eye view the whole area, see the hotel and the distance between the beach.

I believe that a good visual travel site provides travel services through online booking efforts needed to achieve profitability.

Keep going


Digital travel market, there are other major trends, waiting for visionary companies to explore and use them, such as real-time review, the user establish contact with the locals, and the day of booking last minute booking, mobile booking, forecasting and intelligent planning and personalized and so on.

Following the rise of the search site, it seems to the next subversive brand appears, this means that people can travel search industry flex its muscles!
