Product Opportunity

• For smaller to medium sized brands it is a risky business proposition to justify the costs of entering China’s e-commerce market without a known ROI.

• T-Mall and JD.com account for 80% of the Chinese e-commerce traffic, but are prohibitively expensive for smaller brands. Both sites prefer showcasing premiere brands’ flagship stores and require exorbitant, ongoing marketing expenditure.

Risk is the Problem

z

• Further complicating this dilemma, brands must have a registered company in China, a Chinese bank account and product inventory in China.

• CEO ALERT: Be Prepared for High Operating Costs.

Risk is the Problem

• Opportunity to sell online in China and ship from outside of China to the end consumer

• No Chinese business license needed

• No Chinese bank account needed

• Personal purchase therefore does not need to meet all the testing requirements

• Single package shipments from US warehouse or Free Trade Zone warehouse so taxes and duties are less.

Solution : B2C Cross Border E-commerce

• In 2020, 1 out of 5 e-commerce dollars will be generated from Cross Border.

• E-commerce, mobile devices and logistics now enable us to reach Tier 3 and 4

cities, for potential sales of US $90 billion.

Cross Border E-commerce Opportunity

Chinese consumers may spend US $110 billion

on external e-commerce websites. This is 12% of all Chinese e-commerce salesand is fast approaching US $200 billion.

Our D2C Roadmap is StraightforwardOur Solution:• GSG leverages its proprietary Cross Border

E-Commerce solution for Direct to Consumer (D2C) sales in China.

• Chinese consumers are directed to our clients’ US websites where minimal additions make it "China friendly.”

• Checkout payments are handled via popular Chinese mobile payment options.

Our D2C Roadmap is ExecutableOur Solution:• Inventory remains in US warehouses, NOT in

Chinese warehouses.

• Goods are seamlessly shipped directly to the Chinese consumer via our preferred freight forwarders with delivery in 10-15 business days.

• This allows smaller and new-to-market brands to conduct market testing before they make the expensive up-front investment in a flagship store on T-Mall or JD.
