This document discusses how Ikea designs its marketing strategies in China based on Chinese consumer characteristics. It explores how Ikea tailors its approach to understand Chinese customers and benefit from improving the integration of consumer insights into its marketing. The main theoretical model used is Kotler's three factors perspective on Chinese consumer characteristics: culture, social, and personal factors. The findings suggest Ikea could improve by offering more free services given the lack of a "DIY" notion, differentiating more than focusing on cost leadership due to conspicuous consumption, and expanding its e-commerce presence with the popularity of online shopping in China.
