Internet Marketing Potential in China - Part One
How has the Chinese culture embraced the modern internet? Over the past three years China has become the country with the most internet users, with approximately 250 million people online.
In 2006 China was just slightly behind the U.
S.
with regards to online users, with 150 million to the United States' 160 million.
The internet has very quickly become the best way to reach potential buyers of products.
Chinese companies marketing to the population have realized this.
A recent survey revealed that the Chinese people are actually spending more time on the internet than they are watching television.
Cities such as Hong Kong China approach internet accessibility as any major city in the U.
S.
, with wireless internet available at various locations and businesses.
What kinds of online sales niches are popular in China? Many Chinese are going online to search for information on various topics.
There are many factors as to why information is a hot commodity.
A large percentage of internet users in China do not make anymore than $5 per day.
Therefore, products that are sold need to be necessities, new pop culture items or information and other services sold at a low price.
This does not mean that an internet marketer can't have success creating marketing campaigns aimed at the Chinese population.
All that this means is that one's creativity, and ability to understand Chinese culture and habits online, is crucial to marketing promotion and online sales success.
It would definitely be worth one's time to continue researching various marketing trends online for this population.
I believe that their is potential to make money online in China, but I am skeptical to do marketing with any communist nation, as their government places restrictions on what their citizens can view online.
However, many Chinese also save their money and are eager to invest in appropriate ventures.
Chinese internet users are just as picky as those in the U.
S.
, as far as quality expected in a website and the products or services distributed online.
Lastly, millions of Chinese speak English, or are presently learning it.
