China ecommerce experts connects international retail companies with China’s booming retail market of more than 500 million online shoppers
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2018 – Azoya, a leading turnkey ecommerce solutions provider with China ecommerce expertise, today announced its sponsorship of the 2018 Global E-commerce Leaders Forum (GELF) held in New York City on Thursday, September 27. This retail event brings together retail companies from around the world to share international industry insights, and selling to China continues to remain one of the main focuses of this event.
China matters to U.S. and foreign retail companies as its total ecommerce sales soared past the $1 trillion mark in 2017, according to Internet Retailer. As the global leader in ecommerce, China sets new standards for influential retail trends like mobile pay, social commerce, and new retail. A growing number of retail companies view China as a desirable destination due to its increased affluence, tech-savvy consumers and strong demand for quality foreign goods. Top-selling cross-border ecommerce categories among Chinese consumers include cosmetics and personal care, mom and baby products, and nutritional supplements, according to a recent research report by Frost & Sullivan and Azoya Consulting.
The timing of this GELF sponsorship aligns with Azoya’s fifth anniversary since launching to empower U.S. retailers to successfully expand to China through cross-border ecommerce. “We’re proud to participate at GELF and celebrate our track record of acting as a bridge by connecting international retailers with a large market of Chinese consumers who actively seek trusted foreign products,” says Azoya USA managing director Franklin Chu. Azoya helps foreign companies navigate China’s lucrative yet complex retail market from the beginning to the end, including regulations, marketing, logistics, payments, operations and customer service.
This year also marks the fifth anniversary since cross-border imports into China began, which parallels Azoya’s growth. As proof of foreign companies’ growth in China, Azoya invited the CEO of online UK beauty retailer Feelunique, Joel Palix, to discuss International Digital Media Strategies, including his company’s successful experience with Azoya to connect with China’s vast, voracious market of cross-border online shoppers.
Executives representing retailers and brands attend GELF to discover emerging retail trends impacting their e-commerce strategies and proven ways to reach international markets with less risk and lower costs. Attending GELF also sparks new trading partnerships, such as retail companies partnering with local market experts to access international consumers who appreciate the quality, variety and simplicity of cross-border e-commerce.
