Home Depot Fails in China
By, Ashley Harer
What is The Home Depot?
• The Home Depot is an American retailer of
home improvement and construction
products and services.
When did stores open in China?
• Entered the Chinese market in 2006
• 12 stores in total
• All stores were closed by 2012
Why did it not work?
• Home Depot conceded that it misread the
coutry’s appetite for do-it-yourself products.
“The market trend says this is more of a do-itfor-me culture,” a Home Depot spokeswoman
said of China. –according to the Wall Street
Journal
• People connected more with stores like Ikea
where everything you need for a project is all
together
My Recommendation
•
•
•
•
•

More research
Interview locals
Understand the culture
Change layout of stores to be more helpful
In-store examples of easy ways to accomplish
projects
Dasani Fails in Europe
What is Dasani

• Coca Cola’s bottled
water brand
Why did it not work?
• Taglines like
“Bottled Spunk”
and “Can’t live
without spunk”
• Meant to symbolize
youth in US, totally
different meaning
in UK
What else?
• UK consumers had problem
with Dasani coming from
‘pure’ sources and not from
natural mineral or spring
sources
• The Food Standards Agency
began investigation
• Coca-Cola pulled all 500,000
bottles off shelf and
abandoned European launch
My Recommendation
• Take into account what similar successful
products are doing
• Research more for a more appropriate tagline
• Get your water from natural mineral or spring
sources
