25.01.2022 #daigou #export #BCR #exportfromaustralia #buildyourmarket #SMEs #brandowners #daigouseries EPISODE ONE - WHY ARE DAIGOUS IMPORTANT TO SMEs Watch EPISODE 1 to understand how the Daigou channel has affected the export market and how brands have been built and crushed by not understanding how important the Daigou channel is for their business.

25.01.2022 Segment 4. How SMEs can connect with ASEAN markets

25.01.2022 #daigou #exportstrategy #exporttochina #youngentrepreneur Last week I had the opportunity to meet Stephane from With Integrity Australia Candles at Daigouhub. He wasnt a supplier at the event but hes known to be everywhere and has a real drive for business. This guy grabbed my arm before I could leave and meet my wife for lunch! Love it. Here is his message to fellow brandowners about what you need to do as a brandowner in a market as dynamic as China.

24.01.2022 #austrade #opportunity #exportopportunity #export101 #howtoexport #starthere #austraderocks If youre just starting your export journey, or even if youre already on it like us, you need to visit Austrades website, keep in touch with Austrade, be a member of Austrade. The benefits are amazing and a lot of their resources are free! The support and resources they have provided me when I started my export journey into a new market has been amazing, I cant tell you guys how man...y leads they have sent me. Now, I dont know about you guys but I have in the past paid tens of thousands for B2B leads through private organisations in foregin countries, its very expensive and for a fraction of the costs you can get something similar through Austrades network. Obviously, different networks, different results but as a start place, I always speak to Austrade. But the main benefit of doing this lead generation exercise through Austrade is integrity. I know that the Austrade team just want to help. Help my businesses. Whereas a private organisation, I dont know what their motivation is beyond the fee Ive paid for their services. Just because Ive paid a large amount doesnt mean they are 100% on my side. Whereas with Austrade, its not even a question being a Government organisation. They check and vet every potential partner before they even pass their details to you. They may or may not be the right partner but at least the info Ive received has been verified. And Austrade is nearly everywhere so whichever market you wish export to, theyve probably got people on the ground with up to date information ready, waiting to share with you. See more

23.01.2022 #aumake #daigou #exportstrategy I met Anthony, one of the supplier displayed at Daigou Hub. His company is Manuka Doctor, an established British skin care and honey brand with local honey farms. We discussed the amazing opportunities and omnichannel approach to distribution and marketing required in todays market and how great the Asian market is for any business. This is a short snapshot of what Anthony has to say about Daigous and the market.

13.01.2022 #BCRnews #whatyouneedtoknow #chinatrends #daigous #futureofretail #important #O2O #watchthisspace Here is a ASX released document from AuMake and their expansion plan. Click link below to download. FULL DISCLOSURE: Im not promoting AuMake, I have no financial interest except as the owner of 2 brands in the exporting to Asia landscape and I need to know whats happening but my sister did buy some shares in AuMake after their IPO late last year. Its a very interesting case s...tudy because its something you guys can see for yourself domestically as a coming trend in the future. If you read their growth plans, its very much an experience beyond the traditional retail model. You may be aware of the business model O2O - Online to Offline and vice cersa. This is what Aumake is doing. This is what is happening in Europe and Asia. America, not so much or rather, it hasnt reached that point yet. Retailers such as David Jones and Myers are ASPIRING to this. Now you may be thinking why does this matter to us as brandowners? It matters a LOT. There are many channels to distribute and market your brand and product, traditional retail has been trending down for a while. But its evolving and changing. And Im excited about the opportunity this brings to my businesses. Are you excited for your business? https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h/2018_03_05_AU8_1520238660.pdf

06.01.2022 EPISODE 4 PART 2 - A RANT ON DAIGOU HUB AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF RETAIL #O2O #omnichannel #b2b #export #exporttochina #rant #BCR In this episode we delve beyond Daigou Hub and really get into why its important because one retailer isnt going to revolutionise the retail landscape but what happens if its the beginning of a new (not really were just behind) model of retail? Do you think theyll be the only business utilising this model? MORE IMPORTANTLY is ...your business READY for this new way of marketing to China or will you ignore and leave it in the too hard pile?

03.01.2022 #networking #australiachinafutureforum Getting into the China market involves more than having a great Australian product. Like most places in the world, it can be who you know versus what you know that can be the breakthrough. Events such as these are a great platform for connecting with people who can help your business in China or connect you with someone who can. ... I have been struggling to get a meeting with the purchasing manager of a national chain for over 2 years. A few weeks ago I had a meeting with the GM of new business for the chain thanks to a referral from someone that knew him well. You never know who someone knows until you get to know them. So if youre serious about the Chinese market start adding these kind of events to your calendar.

02.01.2022 #ASEAN #ASEANSUMMIT18 #exportasia Ive been accepted to attend the ASEAN SUMMIT SME Conference :D Excited to learn more about the new opportunities and sharing here. ASEAN SUMMIT 2018 is the first time Australia has hosted the event. One of the major agendas is the Business Summit.

01.01.2022 This is a video I recorded earlier this month. Its not very good and I was wondering what I was feeling at the time to make me want to record and then I realised. In this video I was walking to lunch in Sydney Chinatown after an event and found myself walking through Dixon St. It made me think of how my father made me deliver to all his customers back in the day, driving the van, collecting parking fines and carrying heavy boxes while peppering them with sweat as I run up a...ll the stairs. Nostalgia. Im sure all of my fathers old customers feel nostalgia when they walk down Dixon and Sussex St too. Especially the ones that have closed down. You see, a lot of them were very successful and profitable business owners 15-20 years ago but most of them have disappeared. They saw the Daigou channel when it started, they disregarded it as just Chinese students at nearby universities buying for family at home. But when it became a wave they continued to ignore it. Some did decide to cater to this new demograph but most didnt. Now that the Daigou channel is a tsunami, theyre all gone. Washed away because of one thing. Because of the story about how they used to make money and how it should be. They were too romantic about their business. Being romantic about your business is great because its about recognising your past success and how far youve come. Its just when you take it too far...when the past stops you from seeing whats happening around you, stops you from taking action to prepare for whats to come. That is when being romantic about your business can trap you. But the real reason I posted this video to BCR is not to talk about the past and missed opportunities. Its about sharing how I feel about the opportunities now and the opportunities coming our way. As a brandowner Im always going to celebrate my wins. But Im trying to be aware about when it becomes too romantic as well. Because I choose to ride the current wave and the waves that follow, not fight them. Better businessowners than I have tried and failed. How about you? Tag someone you know looking to expand into the Asia space and as always Be China Ready #nostalgia #chinatown #ridethewave #retailevolution #travelretail #businessromance
