What's On

Registration Closed

Well before Covid-19 made online shopping a permanent aspect of everyday life, patronage of the digital marketplace is already quite commonplace on the Mainland with the extensive reach made by ecommerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com. How should businesses position their services and products to capture a slice of the market in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), one of the fastest growing regions in the country and the world? What are the key considerations that businesses should keep in mind when drawing up an effective online marketing strategy? What can companies do to promote customer confidence?

To address these questions and more, the Chamber will be hosting a talk on 24 January 2022, when Stephen Lam, Dominic Tong and Edward Choy from GS1 Hong Kong, the sole authority in Hong Kong to issue GS1 barcodes, will share their insights on the use of a multi-channel approach to improve product visibility online. They will also speak on the use of retail analytics to drive online sales and commerce, as well as ways to protect one's brand from online fraudsters. Join us then to learn how you could adjust your marketing techniques and utilize the various online selling channels to get ahead of the competition in the GBA.
