Introduction
China’s digital ecosystem presents both opportunities and challenges for overseas brands. While multiple platforms offer vast reach, they also create fragmented customer journeys that are difficult to manage. Many overseas brands fail to connect these touchpoints effectively, leading to lost opportunities and inefficient marketing spend. With over 10 years of experience helping overseas brands localize in China, we’ve seen that a unified customer journey strategy is essential for maximizing conversion and building long-term customer relationships.
