Lobster Advertising in China

Lobster Advertising in China

Lobster has been long on the list of the most popular sea food in China where the great importance attached to food stands for one of the core values in Chinese tradition, but as lobster consuming has grown with the rapid economic growth, it seems that the coverage of advertising on lobster has not gone through the same boom.

Advertising special and only for Lobster is rarely to be seen on TV, either on CCTV channels or some local channels, most of the time there can be advertising on some restaurants that sale lobster in gourmet or travel programs. As for publication, also there are sometimes some lobster-cooking restaurants recommendation can be seen on gourmet or travel magazines, or a general introduction of lobsters in some particular region in geography magazines, and in the second case, this coverage cannot be defined as advertising in regarding to the nature of the magazines.



In addition to the tradition media, on the 2 major types of the prevailing online advertising, PC advertising and mobile advertising, the coverage for lobsters still cannot be described as noteworthy enough. They are as so much not often to be displayed on popular video websites such as Youku and Tudou, or the hot-links on major shopping websites such as Taobao and Meituan. Usually people get to see the advertising only when they are searching particularly for lobster.

There may be 2 major reasons of the imbalance of the market and advertising on lobsters. First, for the catering industry, advertising like great campaigns adopted by fast consuming goods industry cannot be done easily as the marketing strategy needs a whole chain of supporting functions and funds which usually can only be mastered by some huge corporate. Second, the love for lobster is largely decided by regional and group effect, after all, people who love sea food, no matter how huge the quantity is, are still a small portion of the whole population and often concentrate in some particular region in this country of such a huge population and tremendous diversity.

Chinese companies are looking for innovation

innovation in China
For the Chinese companies, the innovation does not mean necessarily technological breakthrough. It is a question of offering an approach "quality-price". To be simply cheap is not any more enough. It is necessary to find the good balance between the price, the quality and the features. It implies an increase of the efficiency of production or the use of alternative materials.
This is the way the manufacturer of batteries and car manufacturer BYD reduced for example his costs of raw materials the by replacing the nickel by a less expensive substitute. Zhongxin Medical developed from its part devices of radiology adapted only to acts creatures of habit. As a result, their machines cost a tenth of the price of the multifunction devices produced by the western companies. Zhongxing quickly seized half of the national market, forcing the western companies to lower their prizes or even to leave the country. This approach confers on the companies of the Middle Kingdom an enormous advantage, in particular on emerging markets.

In 2015, the annual average basket of the Chinese on-line buyer will be 1 000 dollars, equally with the American Internet user.

Development of Chinese online business

According to consultants' BCG cabinet, this development of the Chinese on-line business can be explained, on one hand, by the ambitious plan of display of infrastructures telecoms in the whole of the country and, on the other hand, by a situation of scarcity of certain consumer goods in many put off regions.

Peugeot-Dongfeng in China's media

Far from the expected enthusiasm, the reactions of the Chinese media are measured. As if not to frighten the world, China refused to claim victory.
The Chinese media rarely ventures to comment on the activities of the groups of State. It is especially true as the definitive agreement between Dongfeng and PSA will be signed only at the end of March, during the visit in Paris of president Xi Jinping.

The central television, the CCTV, thus contents with underlining that it is about the biggest acquisition abroad for a Chinese car manufacturer. Next to the alliance Dongfeng-PSA, the marriage Geely-Volvo in 2010 would seem almost harmless.



In any case, we find the same concerns: China encourages its manufacturers to become world giants. Dongfeng waits for technology transfers of PSA. The danger is that long-term, he becomes a serious competitor of the Frenchman.
The number 2 Chinese of the automobile thus aims to be reassuring in its interview. It evokes a win-win, just and well-balanced partnership. The statements of the Ministry of Industry are in the same vein: the Chinese automotive sector has big progress to be made, and for it needs the help of the foreign manufacturers.

Interview about entrepreneurship


We can find many interviews in Chinese media speaking about Chinese or foreign entrepreneur which are willing to develop business in technology field. It is quite common to read an interview about entrepreneurship in China or even in emerging countries.

China is becoming the biggest market for tablets

In 2013, the market of tablets seems to have clearly marked time, especially at the end of the year. If the growth is always very present, it very clearly slowed down with regard to the first years, prosperous, of this market. The analysts are afraid of a stagnation of sales due to saturated markets. So, in 2014, the manufacturers are going to face an important evolution of the market, in particular through the transition towards emerging markets or still through the appearance of new need bound to the professional and/or educational use of tablets.

The experts are worring about the market of tablets


The experts worry in particular about the possible saturation of the market. In countries developed mainly, it seems that the equipment rates of homes are now very high, that markets became perfectly mature and that the big marks, Apple first of all, reached the maximum of their growths. Furthermore, the competition makes more and more rough. For year 2014, the major stake will be to renew the demand by turning to new markets. For that purpose, two levers are evoked: the setting-up in emerging countries, in the low equipment rates, as well as the development of tablets adapted to an educational or professional use.
Apple dominates the world market of the tablet. With its IPad in 2010, the brand in the apple knew how to stand out in pioneer and build itself a strong image as well as a community of numerous and faithful buyers. If it stays at the head of the market in 2013, she nevertheless underwent a light loss of ground on her opponents and seems to know difficulties being renewed within the big countries developed, already equipped in high-tech material. In spite of return in the increase at the end of 2013 consecutive to the exit of the new IPAD Air and of the mini IPAD retina in October, allowing him to go back over the symbolic threshold of 30 % of market share under which the brand had come down for the first time during the year, the mark sees returning some of its main competitors. Samsung gained 6 points over the year and peaks in 20 % of market share. Follow the brands Taiwanese and Chinese such as Asus (7.5 %), Lenovo (5 %) and Acer (2.5 %). Especially, Apple and its operating system iOs undergoes now the domination of the system Androïd, present on all the main competitors of Apple.

Chinese market is supporting the whole market


But the market of tablets does not stop in these few big brands and numerous new incomers tempt too, sometimes successfully, to give way on the market. For the first time since the launch of the IPAD in 2010, more than a third of the market is held by brands other than the club five (Apple, Samsung, Asus, Lenovo and Acer). Indeed, certain investors perceived the opportunity that can represent the new markets as well as the new needs in terms of use and adapted their offer to these opportunities
According to the cabinet Daxue Conseil, the Chinese market is the market knowing the strongest growth in 2013 on the segment of tablets. Attributable in the continuous increase of the living conditions and thus the purchasing power of the Chinese consumers as much as to the taste pronounced by this population for the high-tech material, this datum shows especially the importance taken by emerging markets for the sales of tablets. On these markets in development, the growth knows its most beautiful hours with about 145 % in 2013, while the mature markets reached a ceiling at 30 %. And if, in China, the big markshave already made a success of their setting-up, Apple possessing in particular 50 % of the Chinese market, the other emerging countries offer the possibility of being imperative in privileged partner
The brand MySimax is a start-up marketing tablets and turned essentially to Africa. For JX Paulin, his co-founder and director," emerging countries are the markets of tomorrow. It is countries which long to live the same experiences of consumption as the western countries and they would be absurd not to propose them an adapted offer. «It represents well the stake that can represent these emerging markets: the desire of an experience of new consumption and the wish to be able to reach the best technology.

JX Paulin adds: «nevertheless, it would be an error to go on these markets without an effort of adaptation and understanding. They require knowledge on the local environment and the profound respect which the big brands do not still show. It is not a question of establishing on the market simply by investing on your distribution and your communication. It is a question of settling in supplier of solution and of giving an access road towards the technology. And it also crosses by partnerships with local investors or communities, because we cannot address only the private individuals. " –
