Perception of Advertising in China

According to region-media, China has a changing consumer environment and hence old methods of advertising cannot be used. Consumers are therefore wary of strict product oriented advertising and dislike the emphasis laid on product characteristics only. For advertisements to attract the consumer it has to have the following criteria; it has to be involving, humorous and interesting. The Chinese consumers want to see a performance, something intriguing, spirited absolutely new and eye-catching, especially the best values for what they spend. For VENDEE CONCEPT’s potential customers in China (poultry processing companies), the key point is their equipment’s value creation capability.

Although preferences in advertising have changed but some traditional approaches have remained unchanged. They are showing product features through an impressive equipment performance show and adverting through an advertising series (used in TV commercials and on billboard advertisements).

In general, an ideal commercial in china should reflect VENDEE CONCEPT’s high performance working process of equipment, specific values that customers could benefit and VENDEE CONCEPT’s best service concept. Furthermore, it should combine image and product qualities. According to Region-Media.cn, it is becoming more common to show the product and brand benefits often accompanied by a typical atmosphere or mood. (VENDEE CONCEPT’s facilities are modern, automatic, fast and reliable; make customer’s assembly line workers enjoy their relaxed working environment).

Radio Advertising

As mentioned by region-media in the 90s, the number of cars in China grew dramatically and along with it was the number of people who listened to the radio while driving. Radio is one of the most profitable market segments. About 45% of the Chinese population listens to commercial radio. There are more than 500 radio stations located in China (1002 licenses). According to the government data, more than 98% of the population can tune into at least one channel and more than 96% have access to both channels of at least one radio station. (High cost effective for VENDEE CONCEPT)

 

Broadcast Media

In China, Roughly 3,300 national, regional, and local TV stations with over two-thirds completely or partially controlled by the local governments; satellite TV services are available. (TV commercials are expensive and a moment of advertisements is seen by some as a time to change channels).

 

Advertising on Public Transport

More than 65% of Chinese live in urban areas. It is widespread, highly visible, and grows with the city. The buses run in 1300 Chinese cities and towns. More than 50 cities have trolleybuses and trams. However, Chinese towns typically have a dense network of streets, with few metro stations; most journeys are therefore on surface transport. Because most public transport users travel strictly by defining routes, it makes it easy to get ads to this target audience because they can be placed on the buses. One of the most promising areas of development in transport advertising is on the railways. The rail network covers the whole country and has huge potential and therefore ads can be placed on platforms, railway stations halls and inside the carriages on both long-distance and local trains.

Internet

According to CNNIC Beijing, Chinese 6.13million Internet hosts in 2012 and 4.835 million Internet users in 2010. The Internet domain is .cn.

Broadband Internet access is becoming more readily available in China, and as a result, the Internet is growing as an avenue for Chinese commerce, with 49% of Internet users in china shopping online, and 38% using online banking services.

Distribution analysis

With severe competition of food processing equipment industry in Chinese market, a number of transnational enterprises have broken and gotten rid of traditional distribution channels (a pyramid distribution pattern).  To benchmark VENDEE CONCEPT’s two competitors Stork poultry processing and Fomaco, they launched direct to end distributors and direct to end users partnerships. In other words, they attempt to seize Chinese market by using a way of direct factory sales to ensure  an effective and efficient control of their distribution channels, furthermore, it is convenient for conveying accurate manufactures’ information and policies direct to customers.

These end distributors were found from the Chinese web page of Stork poultry processing and Connect Group. Some of these distributors exclusively sell Stork poultry processing products while some have the agency of other products. These distributors are the main selling point of such products in the Chinese market. All these companies work with end commercial organizations.
