With all the great potentials, it always comes with challenges. Some most of the common ones are
Govermental policy barrier : Chinese government is highly control of what information is exposed to the population. We all heard of the great firewall. How to get inside the wall when we know the business opportunities are knocking.
The government require any OVERSEA digital advertising companys to compliance with the regulation, a few docemnts are required ISBN, Ruanzhu ICP in order to advertiser in China.
The approval process is relavtiave manuel, and the process is done by Chinese local officials who probably don’t speak the best English.
China is a big country with 1.3 billion of population. The HHI can be 7-10 times more …… its important to having the right targeting strategy coz you want to target the right audience that high propensity of converting to users with high LTV.
China has over 450 android stores since google play is banned. Eeach of the store has unique reach. however, android is not a market you want to give up since it has more than 80% of the market share.
This is a very interesting abservation I would like to share with you.
Chinese audiences are much more accepting of ads than western users. we are more suspicious when seeing an ads especially when we got retargeted!! However Chiense users embrace ads content, my mom doesn’t’ mind seeing the native video ads or clicking them when using her apps. So majority of the mobile app developers monetize through advertising vs subscription. This phenomenon creates challegens when apps monetize through monthly or annual subscription MODLE
Some similarity between chian and us market is CN market is heavily dominiated by a few media giants, just like FB GOOGLE takes 80% of the media dolloar. In china, among BAT, it takes over 90% of the market. Which I will share more of details futurher.

When FB, GOOGLE, YOUTUBE TWITRTER are banned in china, it has a Chinese version of everything, if not better.
Let me share with you how and why each of the platforms can do the magic through the precise targeting capability and strong algorithm built in.
Tencent is the largest media company in the world, the parent company of several extremely popular apps in china. One of them being wecaht, one of the most powerful apps in the world voted by forbes. It reaches 90% of the chinnese audiences of social.
a one-stop portal where users can access an innumerable number of approved third-party services like hailing a cab, buying movie tickets, ordering food delivery, paying utility bills, or sending money to friends. When I was in china last week I asked my mom when was the last time she used cash, she said almost a month ago, because you can live on wechat. Even the street artiest has a huge wechat QR code in front of them, so you have no excuse OF NOT HAVING CHANGE WITH YOU.
With the enormuouse DMP data Tencent has, advertisers can target precesuly and scale quickly
Bytedance is the parent company of tiktok and toutiao, the number 1 video and vews sitribution platform.
Douyin is a short-video App with powerful editing capabilities, people use douyin to share receeiptes, lipsycning or funny family videos, which got 100 million users in one year, with more than 1 billion videos viewed every day
It offers various ad placements which can be bid on CPC, CPM model through the Toutiao platform.
Baidu is the Chinese google in terms of Search. It takes over 80% of the market. The platform offers the same adwords targeting and bidding options.
All the things you know about google you can do baidu. The only difference is the keywords is government regulated.
In additional to those large players, there are several mid size platforms, such us chiense verios of the reddit, Chinese version of netflex. , Chinese Tinder.
While working with the BATs, its always a great idea to try those upcoming apps/platforms. You need a local marketing expert to be your eyes and ears to understand whats new whats changing in the CN market.
