CHINESE MARKET

Targeting Chinese consumers requires unique strategies tailored to the

needs and behaviours of three distinct consumer segments: Chinese

online consumers, Chinese-speaking Australians and Chinese-speaking

New Zealanders, and Chinese travellers.

China’s 600 million online consumers research extensively online,

looking for recommendations and advice from friends and fellow

consumers, and shopping on multiple Chinese e-marketplaces. In total,

Australia has more than 1 million Chinese-speakers, including

international students, those on working visas and migrants. Chinese

global travellers visiting Australia for vacation, study, business, or to visit

family and friends has exceed 1 million arrivals in 2015. The peak

periods of travel for these consumers include Chinese New Year,

Golden Week and scheduled breaks during the university academic

calendar.

Each of these groups require distinct strategies that caters to their

location, media usage, purchasing behaviour, and peak periods of

consumption.

WECHAT CHANNELS

WeChat, with over one billion accounts and 700 million active users, is taking over China

and the globe. It serves not only as a messaging app, but also a multi- faceted platform

for personal and business use thanks to third-party apps, making it extremely

convenient for users to gain awareness and reach out to their target market.

It is unlike any Western messaging app. WeChat contains 10 million third-party apps,

with nearly any organisation or company able to make an app, known as an “official

account”, on WeChat.

WECHAT = WhatsApp + Facebook Timeline + Instagram + Group Chat + Tinder +

FourSquare + Shopping + Games + Scan QR Code + iBeacon + Web Browser +

File Download + Translation + Banking + an extensive News Feed.
