Chinese-based demand-size platform giant iPinYou is helping established and fledgling global brands gain greater consumer visibility among China's 710 million internet users.

SEATTLE, Feb. 6, 2017 — Singles Day in China — also known as “11.11” to signify four singles on Nov. 11 – has become an e-commerce bonanza for retailers offering their products to a new internet-savvy generation wishing to purchase gifts for themselves or for a potential mate.

In just the first 15 hours of Singles Day last year, $13.4 billion in sales were recorded by Alibaba, which is more than four times the total e-commerce retail sales of $4 billion in the U.S. for Cyber Monday, held the first workday after Thanksgiving. It’s now become the world’s biggest online shopping day of the year.

The mushrooming e-commerce market in China, and its sheer market size, has global e-retailers scrambling to become significant retail players there. The Chinese e-commerce market offer global e-retailers, particularly those based in the U.S., a tantalizing opportunity to gain market share in China.

These opportunities come with caveats, however. China’s e-commerce landscape is fraught with pitfalls for foreign retailers who dare to enter without understanding its unique consumer landscape.

Due to the Chinese consumers’ preference of quality brands with a history of reliability, it’s critical for both mature and fledgling brands, especially e-commerce merchants, to maximize their brand awareness in the Chinese marketplace, said Dr. Sara Ye, president of international markets for iPinYou, China’s dominant demand-size platform (DSP) company for e-commerce advertising. To do that, Dr. Ye said e-commerce need help from a company that is experienced in China and knowledgeable about effective domestic e-commerce advertising.

iPinYou offers that comprehensive, informed knowledge, she said. The company has partnered with 90 percent of the Global 500 companies to traverse China’s complex, segmented domestic consumer audience. It has a successful record of providing extensive programmatic buying services in China. The company has a 59.8-percent market share of China’s brand programmatic buying, using its DSP platform for mobile, PC and video resources traffic with flexible business support. It is the first DSP that has developed strategic cooperation with all major domestic and foreign advertising agencies and agency trading desks.

The DSP service provider has been forming partnerships with globally recognized e-commerce brands, such as Amazon and Ashford, and has shared its comprehensive data on Chinese domestic consumer segments to create brand awareness in this growing, complex market. For example, Ashford achieved a daily UV increase of 210 percent and daily order quantity of 250 percent through the help of iPinYou’s big data, labeling technology and retargeting strategies.
