With different platforms, purchase behaviour and culture, the idea of marketing in China leaves many businesses feeling confused with no real idea of where to start.

Within this episode we talk about how to plan your approach, some of the options you have and also some of the gotchas that befall many who try.

What I loved about this chat with Ashley was her honesty on why a lot of business try and subsequently fail in China, with some excellent advice on how to avoid the most common of mistakes and reasons for not succeeding.

As you will hear within the episode, quite often this comes down to a lack of planning, trying to replicate your strategies from the west and also not having enough financial resource available to compete.

Ashley has published three books on the topic of marketing in China, is an Amazon best seller and also runs two businesses helping companies launch and market in the region. What better person could we have to talk through the subject?!

Thanks Ashley for your time and hope everyone finds this one useful!

What this episode covers:

  • How to plan your approach to marketing in China
  • Some of the biggest mistakes companies make
  • What platforms are available / the options you have
  • What sort of budgets you should be considering

Enjoy!
