More than 25 billion dollars are spent daily in the purchase of products through online commerce. With such large numbers, more and more sellers are trying to add to the Chinese market. For this reason, you need to put the networks on your side in order to stand out and generate good numbers.
Know the rules of advertising in China
Access to online advertising is strict in China. Unlike elsewhere in the world, the Chinese population cannot access certain social networks. These include Google, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
In order to market your teas in China, you will need to use the channels that are accessible to consumers. Sina Weibo (or simply Weibo), Toutiao, Baidu and WeChat should be used. However, these different networks each have their own specificities.
