How to sell your products via JD.Com & JD worldwide
- Deliver Ads Accurately
The easiest and most common way to sell on JD is to publish promotional information on JD.com website in the form of short messages, including product information, reviews, and promotional campaigns. Among them, launching promotional campaigns is also a common and effective way to grow viewers.
And the most important thing is to take full advantage of the wealth of consumers’ data that JD.com has. Every time a consumer browses information about a product on JD.com, it records and tracks the user’s browsing history. As a shopping platform, JD.com has not only a variety of commodities but also data on consumers’ consumption habits. This helps brands to carry out accurate advertisement releases and deliver the advertisement only to their target customer.
- Increase Engagement With Customers
In addition to their role as a sales platform, JD.com and JD WorldWide provides a platform for brands to get direct feedback from customers. With the process of globalization, consumers have more diversified choices of goods. In China, the era where supply is far less than demand is over. Now, brands are facing more serious challenges, because although China is an emerging market with great market potential, Chinese consumers are becoming more and more complicated. They are more likely to choose brands that can express themselves, brands that have emotional resonance. So brands need to build emotional bonds with them, they should regard their customers as friends.
Remember, respond to all complaints and negative comments from customers.
- Ensure The Convenience Of The Brand’s Official Mall
In this fast-paced society, all people focus on efficiency and effectiveness, they don’t want to waste any time and effort. So if you can’t give them the most convenient service, they may turn to other brands. This means that you need to ensure the integrity of the product information, a simple and easy-operated menu bar, the smoothness of the product browsing, and all other ways to improve the convenience and efficiency of the customer purchase process.
