E-commerce adviser tip
You can set up your own store/page on Koala but it is advisable to set aside about 20% of projected turnover for a targeted marketing campaign. To run the store successfully you will need the services of a third party to handle translations, customer service, returns and imagery.
Before entering the Chinese Market, it is highly recommended you register your trademark with the Chinese Trademark Office.
UK businesses wishing to apply, need to be either the brand owner or authorised to sell the brand.

How they'll help you
Marketing and merchandising
If brands offer exclusivity, Kaola will help with marketing. Brand awareness is essential for success in China, so non-exclusive brands will need to set aside a budget for marketing and brand building.
