Operational Strategy

Tmall In-Channel Promotion Strategy

1. Keyword Selection

● Leverage backend data to identify relevant keywords for the brand and product.
● Focus keywords: Brand-name, testosterone-boosting fitness.
● Optimize the product detail page around core promotional keywords by emphasizing:

Unique selling points like “Star product under GNC.”
Celebrity endorsements, e.g., renowned baseball players.
Superior product efficiency: “Testosterone-boosting efficiency is 2-3 times that of similar products.”

2. Increasing Exposure

● Deploy various promotional tools tailored to different product needs:

✓ Search demand: Promote with primary and industry-recommended keywords.
✓ Activity demand: Use tools like Wanxiangtai to target discount-sensitive audiences.
✓ Targeted audience demand: Focus on specific demographics such as fitness enthusiasts and male office workers using tools like Wanxiangtai.

3. Driving Conversions

● Strategically schedule marketing campaigns during platform-wide events to maximize conversions.

Example: During Tmall’s March 8th event, a “Buy 2, get 30% off” promotion boosted the conversion rate above the industry benchmark.
Result: Cumulative event payments reached 70,000 RMB.

4. Reviews and Q&A Section

● Offer personalized one-on-one service to early-stage customers to establish a strong store reputation.
● Ensure visible reviews and Q&A content are high quality, enhancing trust and significantly boosting conversion rates.

5. “Guangguang” Content Posting

● Post high-quality consumer reviews in the platform’s “Guangguang” section to amplify word-of-mouth marketing.
● This strategy helps achieve a “product finds the customer” approach, targeting the right audience effectively.
