Your First 90 Days in China: Sales Strategy That Builds Market Momentum

(Source: https://pltfrm.com.cn)


Introduction

The first 90 days after launch can make or break a brand’s success in China. For overseas brands, a well-planned sales strategy during this window drives data collection, consumer insight, and repeat purchase behavior. Here’s how to hit the ground running.


1. Create a Launch-Phase Sales Blueprint

1.1 3-Channel Activation Plan

Choose one content platform (Douyin), one marketplace (Tmall Global), and one CRM (WeChat) to launch.

Tip: Too many channels dilute brand voice. Focus for speed, data, and refinement.

1.2 Launch Kits for All Stakeholders

Prepare toolkits for influencers, customer service teams, and sales reps—including scripts, FAQs, and sample responses.

Execution: Align tone across all touchpoints.


2. Convert First-Time Buyers into Brand Advocates

2.1 Seamless Post-Purchase Journey

Follow up every purchase with educational content, gifting suggestions, and care tips.

Use Case: A beauty brand’s post-sale series boosted referrals by 42%.

2.2 Feedback Collection and Social Amplification

Encourage reviews on Xiaohongshu and reward UGC with discounts or reposts.

Tactic: Run a “share your story” challenge on Douyin during week two of launch.


3. Optimize SKU and Bundle Strategy

3.1 Entry-Level SKU Focus

Highlight your “easy to try” SKUs with pricing and value tailored to new customers.

Advice: Price anchors help overcome buyer hesitation.

3.2 Gift Packs and Personalization

Bundle based on use case—first-time users, gifting occasions, or seasonal needs.

Strategy: Offer personalization options for premium tiers to boost cart value.


4. Plan Iteration Loops into Your Sales Strategy

4.1 Weekly Optimization Reviews

Set up internal reviews every 7–10 days to analyze conversion rates, ad spend, and content performance.

Execution: Kill underperforming creatives and amplify high performers instantly.

4.2 Live Campaign A/B Tests

Test CTAs, influencer styles, and copy variations during livestreams or promotions.

Use Case: A fashion brand doubled engagement after changing CTA from “see more” to “show your style.”


Case Study: An Australian Skincare Brand Perfects the 90-Day Plan

Launching with just three SKUs, the brand focused on Douyin ads, Xiaohongshu tutorials, and WeChat onboarding. Weekly creative reviews led to messaging shifts that lifted ROAS by 3.4x.

By day 90, they had over 18,000 CRM subscribers and partnerships with five livestreamers.
