Selling to the New Chinese Consumer
Palgrave Macmillan, 2005
What's inside?
Insights into advertising in China from an agency's CEO for Greater China – here's how to sell to a real mass market.
Recommendation
You can find an abundance of books about doing business in China. This one, however, takes a rare approach. Ad expert Tom Doctoroff confines his commentary (for the most part) to a subject he has the expertise to address – advertising – although he tends to generalize a bit about Chinese history and philosophy. He offers evidence and examples from both successful and unsuccessful ad campaigns to support his assertions about what will work if you want to build your brand in China. getAbstract finds that this short book offers interesting perspectives on the Chinese consumer market, while it also provides a refresher course on the main principles of advertising and brand building in any market, whether it be East or West.
