On top of our experience we provide real user experiments and analyze the results. The marketing techniques that have generated positive feedback can continued to be scaled up on a larger scale.
Product Selection & Pricing
We could talk ages about the differences between the Chinese market and culture and ours; or we can go straight to your product strategy.
