1.1 Brand and Product Positioning

As a well-known digital accessories brand in China, Best Baseus has strong product innovation strength and supply chain foundation in the global consumer electronics market. It has won the "Cailian 2024 Best Shipping Brand Award". Its Bowie series MA10 is the first flagship headset in the series, and the MA10s is an upgraded model.

Although Best has a certain foundation in overseas markets, the launch of this new MA10/MA10s still faces three core pain points, which are also common problems for most digital brands to go abroad: First, the awareness of new products is low, and the category of headphones in the European and American markets is fierce. Competition, how to quickly establish a professional image of products and user trust has become the primary challenge; Second, localized marketing is difficult. European and American users 'perceptions and usage scenarios of digital products are significantly different from those in the country, so content needs to be created according to local consumption habits; Third, product and effectiveness are difficult to unify. It is necessary to enhance brand voice through topic communication, and We must also use precise grass planting to achieve sales conversion. At the same time, we need to take into account the differentiated promotion of the two products to avoid internal competition.

It is from April 15 to April 25, and the promotion time in Europe is from May 10 to May 17, accurately targeting target users; The second is to determine the product comparison and promotion method, combining the characteristics of the two core platforms of YouTube and TikTok, and adopting three methods: "neutral comparison, mid-end with low-end, and holding one step on one". The "mid-end with low-end" model focuses on recommending MA10s, the display time of MA10 is controlled at 1/3, which not only highlights the advantages of upgrade models, but also takes into account the exposure of basic style; the third is to complete the screening of talents and resource docking, and select three types of talents that meet the product positioning to ensure the accuracy of planting grass.

At the same time, a complete link of "primary communication-secondary communication-communication closed-loop communication" will be built: primary communication involves talents participating in co-production challenges + product grass planting, secondary communication relies on the influence of talents to drive users 'UGC co-production and spread, and the official selection of high-quality UGC content will be distributed twice and rewards will be issued.

FAQ

Digital brands go abroad to Europe and the United States. How to quickly establish professional trust in their products?

The core is the combination of "authoritative endorsement + localized content". You can learn from this Best case and link up with authoritative figures in the target market (such as industry experts, well-known practitioners) or leading media (such as Forbes, CNET) to provide endorsement for product quality and technical advantages; at the same time, combine the cognitive habits of European and American users, create localized product content (such as professional evaluation, situational use of videos), avoid Chinese expressions, allow users to intuitively feel the product value and quickly build trust. Whale Eating Technology can provide overseas authoritative resource docking and localized content creation services to help brands solve trust problems.

TikTok and YouTube, how should digital brands choose their layout when going out?

Reasonable layout needs to be combined with platform characteristics and marketing goals: TikTok focuses on young users, has rapid traffic explosion, and is suitable for launching topic challenges, scene-based grass planting, and quickly increases brand voice (such as this Best TikTok Challenge, covering 44.7 million users);YouTube focuses on in-depth content and long tail effect, which is suitable for in-depth evaluation by people and detailed explanation of product functions, and strengthens users 'professional awareness of products (for example, this time Best has 6 YouTube evaluation videos, with a total viewing volume of more than 160,000). Whale Eating Technology can formulate a "dual-platform collaboration" layout strategy based on the characteristics of its brand products to achieve dual improvements in sound volume and awareness.

How to avoid internal competition and achieve differentiated exposure when multiple products are promoted overseas?

The key lies in "precise positioning + hierarchical promotion". First of all, clarify the core selling points and target customer groups of each product. For example, the Best MA10 focuses on long battery life, and the MA10s focuses on upgrades of noise reduction and smart functions to match users with different needs; secondly, combine platform characteristics and promotion methods to distinguish the focus and length of each product's display (for example, the duration of this MA10 display is controlled at 1/3, and the focus is on promoting the MA10s); Finally, different types of talents are screened to promote the core selling points of each product in a targeted manner to achieve differentiated exposure and transformation.

Digital brands are marketing European and American celebrities. How should they screen accurate talents?

It is necessary to filter around "product positioning + user portrait", and give priority to three categories of talents: first, people with vertical categories (such as headphones vertical categories and 3C evaluation categories), who can accurately reach the target customer group, have high professionalism and good conversion effect; Second, people with localized talents are familiar with local user habits and language, can create content that suits the local area and avoid cultural deviations; Third, people with middle-waist characteristics are high cost effective and have strong fan stickiness, making it easier to achieve precise grass planting than people with head characteristics. Whale Eating Technology has a resource library of 3000+ European and American celebrities, which can quickly match brands and control content quality.

How to achieve the "integration of quality and efficiency" of digital brands going abroad and avoid only exposure but not transformation?

The core is to build a complete closed loop of "exposure, grass planting and transformation": first, enhance brand exposure and expand influence through authoritative endorsement and topic communication; second, grass planting through talent scenes to highlight the core selling points of products and stimulate users 'desire to purchase; Third, set a clear transformation path (such as Daren exclusive short links and platform jump links), guiding users to enter purchase channels such as Amazon; fourth, through data tracking, quantifying the effects of each link, optimizing strategies in a timely manner, and ensuring simultaneous improvement of exposure and conversion. In this case of Best, Amazon's inbound stops increased by 230% month-on-month through the exclusive short chain tracking effect of Daren, which is a typical practice of integrating quality and efficiency.

Without overseas local teams, how can digital brands do localized marketing well?

Whale Eating Technology has a local office team in New York, which can provide three core supports: first, localized content creation to avoid machine-turned copywriting and cultural deviations, and adapt to the mentality of European and American users; second, local celebrities connect with each other and quickly link up with the target market.
