Ya Shen and Xiao Bo Hong founded the corporation with headquarters in Guangzhou, China, on August 22, 2008. Since its debut in 2008, they&#8217;ve rapidly expanded its customer base and brand partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its rapid growth and success, Vipshop has established an e-commerce platform that has shown to be incredibly profitable and highly scalable in place of traditional online marketplaces or huge multi-category internet sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vipshop-business-model\">Vipshop Business Model<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>VIP Shop is now the world&#8217;s largest flash sales website and has a market share of over 38% in China&#8217;s online discount market. It has ties to both domestic and international brand agents and manufacturers. The platform&#8217;s products are very affordable in comparison to other leading eCommerce platforms and competitors such as Tmall and JD.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/VIP-App.gif\" alt=\"vipshop china - mobile app gif\" class=\"wp-image-65382\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipshop sells high-quality, well-known branded products to Chinese customers at a significant reduction from retail prices.

Not only are shipping timeframes almost identical to those of domestically purchased products, but VIP International often covers freight charges as well as allows buyers to return things within seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VIPshop-international-banner.jpg\" alt=\"What is VIPshop international-china CBEC\" class=\"wp-image-68091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VIPshop-international-banner.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VIPshop-international-banner-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VIPshop-international-banner-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/VIPshop-international-banner-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>VIP International products are specializing under the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beauty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cosmetics<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apparel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jewelry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>NB:<\/strong> <em>Cross-border is an incredibly fast-growing segment of the Chinese e-commerce market.

If you want to sell your products on Vip Shop China, you must first build your online presence, as Vipshop requires and primarily accept brands that are well-known among Chinese consumers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brands should be legally run companies. Even if your brand is little, as long as it has some recognition, it is welcome at Vipshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When submitting an inquiry to Vipshop, the following information is required:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Company Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact Number<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company&#8217;s description<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Website of the company<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product classification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-become-a-vipshop-merchant\">How Much Does It Cost To Become a Vipshop Merchant?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a brand selling products on the Vipshop website, you are not subject to any membership fees, commissions, deposits, or listing costs. The reason for that is that VIPs pre-purchase your goods. The downside of this model (just like on Kaoloa) is that small brands\/brands with low awareness on the market can rarely make it on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"can-you-sell-cross-border-on-vipshop\">Can You Sell Cross-border on Vipshop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign merchants are permitted to sell cross-border on Vipshop via their overseas businesses. VIP International is VIP Shop China\u2019s cross-border division, accounting for 10% of the cross-border eCommerce market. All products on VIP International are sourced and purchased directly from overseas, whereas Chinese products are sold on VIP.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vipshop-summary\">Vipshop Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipshop is becoming increasingly popular as a wonderful eCommerce site for selling products in China, notably in the fashion industry.

Any brand serious about the market will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/key-marketing-strategies-for-china-market\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"51489\">put the work in<\/a> through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chinese Social Media Marketing:<\/strong> best way to build your brand awareness and engage with your target audiance. There are many chinese social media out there, and we would generally recommend brand to at least look at Wechat &amp; Weibo. Wechat because its too big to ignore and not having an official account on it will be harmfill (aka if you are not on wechat you are not a real brand) and weibo because of the many marketing tools it offers brands and its viral (\u00e0 la twitter) potential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>KOL\/ KOC &amp; Live streaming marketing<\/strong>: Chinese consumers are heavily infuenced by word of mouth and products recommendations. Traditionnaly, this would happens within the social circle of a consumer but with the developpement of online technology, this phenomena extented to online celebrities of all size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baidu SEO &amp; PPC<\/strong>: This one is crucial for visibility and credibility. Baidu is the 1st step in chinese consumers buying process. With no presence on Baidu, a brand can&#8217;t expect to gain the trust of its customers base. Just like anyone in the west would be wary of a brand non existent on Google, chinese consumers are wary of brand that can&#8217;t be found on their search engine of choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Undercover marketing<\/strong> through forums and q&amp;a: this one comes as a support in the context of a 360\u00b0c marketing strategy and is excellent to help you with ORM (online reputation management)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A presence on each of these poles will not only open you the doors of any Chinese online marketplaces (and potentially Chinese distributors)  but also get you the trust of consumers while increasing your visibility. In the long term, meaning a reduced acquisition scot paired with a better conversion rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"want-to-have-your-products-listed-on-vipshop\">Want to have your products listed on VIPShop?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GMA-Services.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GMA-Services.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GMA-Services-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GMA-Services-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/GMA-Services-600x424.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Find out more about our e-commerce solutions for china<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact us, we have e-commerce solutions ready for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more on Chinese e-commerce platforms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/open-tmall-store\/\">Tmall<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/full-guide-to-selling-on-taobao-foreigner-merchants-or-small-businesses\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/full-guide-to-selling-on-taobao-foreigner-merchants-or-small-businesses\/\">TaoBao<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/sell-on-jd-merchants-guide\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/sell-on-jd-merchants-guide\/\">JD<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Little Red book \/ XiaoHongShu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/douyin-ecommerce\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/douyin-ecommerce\/\">Douyin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/how-to-sell-on-pinduoduo-a-step-by-step-guide\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/how-to-sell-on-pinduoduo-a-step-by-step-guide\/\">PinDuoDuo<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/what-is-vipshop-ecommerce-should-brands-care\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/what-is-vipshop-ecommerce-should-brands-care\/\">VIPSHOP<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/how-to-sell-on-suning-global-for-cross-border-e-commerce\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/how-to-sell-on-suning-global-for-cross-border-e-commerce\/\">Suning<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how Vipshop and vip.com offer unique flash sale opportunities for global brands entering the Chinese e-commerce market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":81639,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[432],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecommerce"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68080"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68080\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82882,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68080\/revisions\/82882"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81639"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marketingtochina.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
