China has a billion potential customers, but how do you reach them? This 90-minute class gives you everything you need to know to get started with marketing to the world's largest consumer market - including the red hot areas of social media and ecommerce.

Do these questions keep you up at night?

• How do I reach the growing Chinese market for my products and services?

• What do they want?

• How do I understand them?

• How are buying decisions made in modern-day Chinese culture?

• What kind of social media is popular in China?

• How do businesses use social media to find, win and keep customers?

Across the western world, companies large and small are grappling with these questions. Among all the nations of the world, China presents unique challenges to non-Chinese marketers - challenges that must be overcome in order to realise the potential of the world's largest consumer market.

• Challenge #1: The Chinese language has been described as the hardest language in the world.

• Challenge #2: Chinese and Western cultures have more differences than similarities, often very subtle.

• Challenge #3: The online marketing environment is totally different from any other country, with the main global players blocked, and local alternatives dominating.

Because of these unique challenges, marketers end up doing a lot of "accidental trust".

• Is my Chinese distributor representing my brand well (and legally?)

• Is my Chinese staff member doing a good job on our company's weibo or wechat?

• Does my translation company understand marketing? Does my marketing company understand how to translate correctly?
