China contains c. 10m English speakers, some of whom are comfortable placing orders via English language websites. However, in order to target the remaining 1,369m you will need a localised website, along with digital marketing, customer service and appropriate logistics solutions including low-cost direct shipping or local warehousing

We can combine all of these elements together onto a single platform, leaving you to concentrate on your core business while we maximise your sales in China

Once the site goes live we will begin digital marketing efforts and expect to make sales immediately. The exact growth rate will depend heavily on your product mix, pricing and supply chain
