(Source: https://pltfrm.com.cn)

Introduction

China’s leading e-commerce platforms have evolved into complete consumer ecosystems, blending entertainment, shopping, and loyalty. For overseas brands, working with ecommerce ad experts is essential to maximize visibility, optimize spend, and convert traffic into loyal customers. Here’s how top consultants craft winning ad strategies.

1. Targeted Traffic Acquisition

1.1 Sponsored Search and Display Ads

Brands are positioned at the top of relevant search results and strategically inserted into platform displays based on user intent.

1.2 Platform-Specific KOL Activation

Douyin and Xiaohongshu KOL collaborations are synchronized with ecommerce promotions to drive traffic and social proof.

2. Conversion-Focused Store Optimization

2.1 Optimized Landing Pages

Consultants design Tmall and JD.com store pages with optimized layouts, video demos, and clear CTAs to boost conversion rates.

2.2 Real-Time Promotion Alignment

Flash sales, coupons, and loyalty point programs are integrated directly into store experiences, enhancing urgency.

3. Full-Funnel Retargeting Strategies

3.1 CRM and Platform Data Sync

Consultants connect CRM systems with platform ad accounts, enabling highly personalized retargeting based on browsing and purchase history.

3.2 Cart Abandonment Recovery Campaigns

Automated ads remind users of items left in their carts, often coupled with timed discounts to nudge completion.

4. Campaign Performance and Optimization

4.1 KPI Alignment by Platform

Different KPIs are optimized per platform—e.g., GMV on Tmall, cost-per-acquisition on JD.com, video engagement rates on Douyin Store.

4.2 Agile Campaign Management

Consultants review ad performance daily and adjust keywords, creative, or budget allocations to maximize results.

Case Study: British Footwear Brand Marketplace Growth

A British footwear label launched synchronized campaigns across JD.com and Tmall, paired with Douyin shoppable videos. Their China DTC revenue grew by 220% within nine months.
