1. Omni-channel marketing is necessary for brands in China due to the collision of e-commerce and brand building in the large Chinese market where consumers make frequent online purchases but are also developing brand loyalty. 2. The consumer segment targeted by omni-channel marketing includes Chinese millennials who favor experiences that allow self-expression and trust recommendations from friends over brands. They are also strong influencers of friends and family and take actions offline based on what they read online. 3. Designing brand experiences for omni-channel marketing should leverage big data insights about millennial social and spending habits to drive social e-commerce and make social content a key factor in brand preference and buying decisions.

the answer to China’s ecommerce challenge

5. Omni-channel or Online to offline consumer marketing?

activation from online to offline channels for lead generation & conversions.
- For example: Starbucks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p48ZkNKzD64
- For example: Nippon Paint: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTg4NDU0MTAw.html

8. China’s domestic shopping behavior is now driving its
growth of its economy and its brands
Nearly a quarter of Chinese shop on the toilet, and over half admit to shopping
while at work. Highly contagious, online shopping is hitting epidemic levels, with
over half missing sleep to shop late, and more than one in five saying their
shopping addiction is negatively affecting “family harmony”.
“Although some of our survey questions were tongue-in-cheek, we cannot
overemphasize the importance of online shopping for brands in China,” said
Tony Chen, Chief Digital Officer GroupM China. “The top e-commerce sites are
no longer mere sales channels, but media in their own right, with hundreds of
millions of visitors ripe for brand communication.” - Group M

9. Brand casualties are starting to appear even in growth areas
As the world’s second largest cosmetics market, China market has reached 200 billion Yuan in 2011. Besides, it is
also one of the fastest developing markets with a 15% annual growth. National Bureau of Statistics of China also
shows that the revenue of above-norm cosmetics enterprises has also reflected the trend. Over 80% of China
cosmetics market is dominated by foreign brands. And yet Garnier and Revlon had to leave the market?

10. Brand casualties are starting to appear even in growth areas

11. Our
Point of View
Why omni channel marketing is necesary

12. 1. E-Commerce and Brand Building
Are Colliding in China
Essentially, China’s large and growing middle-class
have become accustomed to making frequent e-
commerce purchases. Furthermore, as in many
longer-standing e-commerce markets, they are also
developing brand awareness, an increasing proclivity
to purchase high quality and/or individually satisfying
products, and showing a commitment to brand loyalty
and repeat business:
The future development of China’s e-commerce
channel is closely linked to technology developments
and also the behaviors of Chinese consumers,
including the way they research and order products
online, and their preference for speed and
convenience.
- KPMG’s China 360 report: E-commerce in China:
Driving a new consumer culture, 14 Jan 2014.

13. 2. E-Commerce growth is offset by economic weakness in
traditional Chinese economic drivers
China’s growth in terms on online retail sales grew from 4.3% in 2012 to
6.3% by August 2013.

14. 3. B2C ecommerce has yet to prove itself against B2B
ecommerce and C2C ecommerce

15. l Government policy to encourage public consumption
l Higher government spending on health care and
pensions encourage households to save less and
China has little debt.
l Rising wages and an ageing population will also shift
the balance towards consumption rather than saving.
l “A massive push to urbanise is also under way, which
should produce tens of millions of richer citizens
seeking retail therapy. McKinsey, a consultancy,
forecasts that consumption by urban Chinese
households will increase from 10 trillion yuan in 2012 to
nearly 27 trillion yuan in 2022 (see chart 1).”

4. Increasing consumption demand driving desire for
more customer touch-points

16. 5. New consumer media habits in mobile, digital, social
media are on the rise

17. 6. Media fragmentation is on the rise
Attention span has split. People
needed to hear something multiple
times from different media sources
– to believe anything these days.
Most of the time they are getting their
news from social media on the brands
and products they care about.

18. 7. Social media marketing is on the wane due to censorship,
over-advertising etc

20. Our
Point of View
The Consumer Segment targeted by
Onmi-channel marketing

21. 2 Similar Brands in China = 2 Very Different Market Results
l Adidas gained 11% of the sportswear market
compared to Nike’s 12.1%
l 12% rise in fourth-quarter China sales for a
15% climb during the full year
l Nike is setting up more discount stores to get
rid of its inventory which started stockpiling
after Beijing Olympics
l Nike + did not take off in China

22. Retail store counters report that they see
more women walking into shop. Anecdotally,
tracking of online buzz show "fairly positive"
comments written about the campaign, like
"This is exactly how I feel", "This
encourages me to do sport", "Sports doesn't
have to be hard", "This isn't like the brand
that I had in mind before"

Increasingly Sedentary Consumer Segment

23. McKinsey reports that China's emerging consumer
class is more emotional than previous generations of
shoppers and firms must shift their marketing
strategies to keep pace with them i.e. 51 per cent of
city-dwellers by 2020, up from 6 per cent in 2010
http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/09/25/china-
economy-consumers-survey-
idINL5E8KP0OQ20120925
Group M China’s Dec 2013 Study also
stressed the importance of building emotional
connections with their consumers. Emotions
impact consumers differently with market
maturity. Respondents aged 15 to 64 in Tier
four cities are the most bonded with brands,
citing feel good factors such as 'make me feel
more confident and attractive'."

24. Pollution, food safety and climate change stand out as major concerns for China’s millennial generation.
While China is raising its profile on the world stage, the study notes 88% of Chinese millennials believe
their country can effect change in the world, “they care more about improving the world than other
generations’.

25. Chinese Millennials Love Brand Experiences That Are
Inline with Their Self Expression
China takes 1st place for going online for
self-expression and transaction. Australia
takes 22nd place for self expression.
Mindshare Digital Normal Index 2013.
The Edelman 203 “BRANDSHARE” also shows that the Chinese expects
the same from brands i.e. to express their brand heritage beliefs, product
development / making approach, product performance, allowing them to
co-create with their favorite brands while providing product inputs.

“In my real life, I exist as a ‘virtual me.’ I go to
work. I try to live up to the expectations and
pressures from parents, my coworkers and
society. Then, I go home. I open my computer,
I put on some music and I start to dance.
That’s the real me.”

to see the world outside of my parent’s eyes.”
// “LIZ,” 22
I would rather be a common person in daily
life, but I have to be uncommon online. It’s my
own choice.

Onmi-channel marketing

36. Our
Point of View
Big Data on Designing beyond
The Big Idea, Brand Experiences

37. Starbucks success has inspired many businesses to copy its third space strategy.The next
move is the Fourth space strategy. Creating cultural movements for Starbucks fans and
customers by integrating social, in-store, technological and
mobile experiences
Integrating retail spaces with millennial consumer behavior is key

38. IKEA: Third Space for families
Nursing area for games, store sleepovers, café rest stop

39. Starbucks’ 4th space strategy: Drive brand preference via
GLOCAL initiatives between Starbuck’s in-store and local
culture experiences
Starbucks' new Fuzhou store has a Chinese chess (weiqi) theme with pictures of the
nearby Fushan mountains built into the store murals. Channeling the ambiance of a
thousand-year-old Song Dynasty garden, Starbucks did not ignore Fuzhou's pervasive
cultural norms by embracing Fuzhou's historic ambiance and classical Chinese
architectural themes.

40. Starbucks’ 4th space strategy: Integrate social and mobile
experiences into the in-store experience to drive traffic and
social engagement
- The best global digital practices is not to treat social and mobile as standalone channels to a brand’s experience
but to integrate them.
- Mobile, social and in-store experiences overlap at Starbucks, especially since 50% of Weibo users access WIFI at
Starbucks’ stores via their smart phones. Conversion opportunities arise from campaign with an integrated
customer journey from store to online and mobile

43. THAT’S NOT ALL.
OMNI CHANNEL MARKETING IS RESHAPING RETAIL
MARKETING VIA BIG DATA.
MULTI-CHANNEL MARKETING ONLY WORKS WHEN ALL
CUSTOMER DATA IS COLLECTED TO A SINGLE INTERFACE
FOR ANAYSIS, REPORT AND TRACKING. IN THIS WAY,
YOUR CUSTOMER DATA HAS BECAME BIGGER, INSTEAD
OF BEING SEGMENTED TO DIFFERENT SILOES.

44. OMNI CHANNEL MARKETING IS RESHAPING RETAIL
MARKETING VIA BIG DATA
From 2013 onwards, Gucci has decided to not open too many new
shops in China in new cities, but to renovate and expend the existing
ones, to raise customer service standards, creatingVIP events, and
creating new promotions. So how is it going to do that?

Adidas wants to own those stories. It wants to ensure that its brand is

in Brazil and it wants to be central to the successes of its athletes, as it
was when Andy Murray ended that long, long wait for a British
Wimbledon champion.‘Newsjacking’ other people’s news isn’t enough.

50. Emotional stories ignite
integrated communications
programs by answering ‘why’ –
why should people care
(emotional trigger) and then
why should people share
(motivations).
Crafting campaigns based
upon an emotional insight
gives us the best chance to
scale via earned/traditional
media – which is at the center
of every great digital campaign
(e.g. Sketches, World’s
Greatest Job etc).
