WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
E-commerce and the efficient use of focused modest marketing budget have become key aspects to take into consideration for EU SMEs when developing their strategy in China. However, the lack of information on both e-commerce and marketing channels makes it difficult for businesses to make informed decisions.
Small EU businesses should be particularly aware of the rapid growth of e-commerce platforms in China which has diversified the entry modes to the country, providing
them with more channels to sell to the market. Our workshop aims to provide a clear and practical view of the e-commerce environment, describe the available options for EU SMEs in China, as well as, help companies assess the potential, costs, and implications of each of the options. This workshop covers an array of practical aspects and up-to-date best practices and it is designed for any brands or merchants with an E-commerce or digital projects on the Chinese market, entrepreneurs and Ecommerce practitioners.
