Chinese GraphicMail Email Marketing Franchise Shows Soaring Growth Figures and ...
(PRWEB) February 15, 2012
GraphicMail CEO Nicholas Eckert recently visited the company’s fastest-growing franchise in Beijing, to discuss issues regarding email delivery, marketing and product requirements for the Chinese marketplace.
Since its launch in 2009, GraphicMail China’s sales numbers have been consistently above initial forecasts by about 20-30%, with an additional 50-75% growth estimated for 2012.
Partnered with NewEnlighten Business & Information Consulting Co. Ltd, GraphicMail is one of the top international players in the Chinese emailing space, with over 80% of the franchise’s clientele situated within Beijing and further efforts in place to promote expansion to Shanghai and the Guangzhou region.
From a market placement perspective, NewEnlighten’s Director Jason Wang sees the strengths of GraphicMail to be that the company offers relationship-based services that are tailored to local clients and that there are opportunities for additional services that extend beyond what is offered in other countries: “The most important thing to survive in China is to build strong relationships with market stakeholders, such as suppliers, the government and key clients. Sometimes these relationships can be so influential that when you are bidding against another company which is offering a lower quality product at a higher price, you will still lose the contract simply because the buyer always chooses whoever they have the best relationship with. To clients, having a good relationship means they get exclusive special deals, one-on-one sales with 24/7 support, surprise presents for important holidays, and so on. The key to succeeding in the Chinese market is to learn these relationship skills as quickly as possible.”
