VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

Speaking exercise

We had a lot of pitches before the Chinese new year.
Those cases already have their own vendors belong to other companies so we don’t have a lot currently.

Even in 2023 the economy is gradually recovered, not so fast.

From my perspective it will be much better than last year.

For the advertisement industry how much we earn from our clients depends on our client’s marketing budget.
If they have a large amount of money we can earn more money from them. If they reduce we also will be affected.

It can be in every area, we choose a cheaper KOL and we use some cost efficient channels to replace the expensive ones.
Also our clients pay more attention to their ROI.
Apps like tik tok -> live streaming apps

They can give gifts for each new user downloading the app.
It is the most efficient method.
Maybe you use 100 yuan and you only have 50 yuan reward.

Normally the result can be predicted we have the historical data.
If there is nothing big event happen we can predict.

It is efficient if you want to improve the traffic.

It is normally used in some official occasions or the work place such as your work email but in their leisure time if you want to learn promotion information we won’t use email.

We subscribe to the wechat account but not emails

Wechat articles content is more rich and we have interactive things like videos or games.

I read some articles.
I think in western countries the e-commerce is more popular especially among the young generation like gen z

they value something shows their personality.
Compared with millennials gen z are more rational and they more like Japanese culture.

They evaluate a lot of things, if they buy this thing if the good is value a lot on the emotional aspect and the functional aspect and compare with competitor if the brand has unique advance like if it environment friendly or not.
Wether they agree with the culture or not

The most important is some emotional thing -> the emotional aspect

if they want gen z customers become the loyalty they need to share the same value with the consumers.

I am more value the functionality, is this product suit me or or not.

For most brands in the market they develop subbrands like Xiaomi has Hongmi or Huawei has Honor.
And those brands are under the same corporation and different brands target different customers.

It depends on consumers personally. For those brands value they just separate.
