Where will costly promotion e-commerce campaigns lead?

April 11, 2021 by vietnamnet.vn

Online sale apps are spending big money on promotion campaigns to retain consumers, but the money seems to have been spent in vain.

Where will costly promotion e-commerce campaigns lead?

In order to buy a body care lotion bottle at a preferential price from a sale promotion program, Tran Thanh Truc in Ba Dinh district, Hanoi, installed a shopping app. Buying the product via this app, she enjoyed a discount of VND50,000 and did not have to pay a delivery fee under the new membership program.

One month after the purchase, Truc removed the app from her smartphone because she no longer wanted to buy things via this app.

Consumers like Truc are potential clients targeted by shopping apps. They compare selling prices offered by suppliers and choose the ones with lowest price levels. They are willing to shift to use other apps if the apps offer more attractive prices.

With the principle ‘new one in, old one out’, they are not loyal clients.

Nguyen Thi Hoai, a housewife in Hanoi, said she often installs new shopping apps. She noticed that sale promotion programs tend to target new customers rather than loyal clients.

“I am the manager of our family’s coffers, so I try to save every dong. I always compare the prices quoted on different apps and I will give up the apps which no longer offer discounts for products and set high delivery fees,” she said.

With the habit of saving every dong, Vietnamese consumers prefer COD (cash on delivery) payment, though online payments are convenient.

Hoai confirmed that she only makes online payments when there are promotion programs run by her e-wallet or Visa card.

When asked which app is her favorite, Hoai said that she doesn’t have one. She buys milk and napkins for kids via onr app, but chooses other apps for books and electronics.

Meanwhile, Do Quang Thang in Hanoi said he removed two apps because of bad quality of products and services.

“The products were advertised as having high quality, but they were really terrible,” he said.

Online sale apps are spending big money on promotion campaigns to retain consumers, but the money seems to have been spent in vain.

On consumers’ forums, people complain that the quality of products is not exact as advertised, and the service is not professional. And trade fraud is another problem. This explains why many people turn their back on online shopping and only buy things after seeing them with their eyes.

A representative of a shopping app said customers will delete unsuitable apps after trying. They install apps when the apps offer preferences, but if they don’t feel satisfied about the services, they will give up the apps because they have too many other choices.

The Southeast Asia e-commerce map of iPrice Group shows that the app removal rate in Vietnam is the highest in Southeast Asia, 49 percent in Q2 2020, though Vietnam was the second largest market in the region, after Indonesia in terms of access traffic.

The average number of visits to websites in Vietnam in 2020 was four times higher than Malaysia, three times more than the Philippines and twice as much as Thailand.

The race to win customers’ heart

In order to lure customers like Truc and Hoai, shopping apps spend billions of dong to make their apps known to customers and persuade them to install the apps. And in order to retain them, they run promotion campaigns continuously and compete with each other every minute.

Lazada, Shopee, Tiki and Sendo, the ‘big four’ in Vietnam’s e-commerce market, ran big sale promotion programs in 2020, on Single’s Day on November 11, Black Friday on November 27, Cyber Monday on November 30, December 12 and others.

Market analysts say that consumer psychology influences buying habits. As the Covid-19 pandemic has been controlled well in Vietnam, consumers are returning to do more shopping.

iPrice suggested that in addition to running sale promotion programs to attract customers, e-commerce firms should think of measures to improve customers’ experience.

E-commerce platforms will get big benefits if using AI and Big Data which gives better recognition to customers, understands their tastes and makes reasonable suggestions to them.

Tran Tuan Anh, managing director of Shopee Vietnam, said when people stay home during social distancing campaigns, they tend to shift to online platforms, which allows them to both satisfy their daily needs and use for entertainment purposes.

E-commerce apps need to integrate many factors for interaction, including games and livestreams to improve connections with consumers.

Vu Duc Thinh, CEO of Lazada Logistics Vietnam, said Lazada will continue to use technological resources and initiative to optimize customer’s experiences. In addition, it will shorten the time needed for north-south deliveries, striving for within-day delivery service at the lowest possible cost.

At present, e-commerce platforms are still taking a loss. They accept this because they have high hopes for the Vietnamese e-commerce market, which is predicted to have the value of $29 billion by 2025.

Google predicts that Vietnam’s e-commerce will obtain the highest growth rate, 34 percent, in the region by 2025.

April 11, 2021 by hanoitimes.vn

As people in rural and suburban areas account for 63% of the population, and 60% of the country’s GDP, they have the potential to drive business growth.

Nearly half of internet users in rural areas have got online shopping activities, especially they dig in information about products through chatting with the store, watching live shopping or reading reviews before deciding to buy them.

The latest report conducted by Facebook and GroupM Vietnam revealed that the habits and behavior of online consumers in rural areas have changed drastically.

The surveyed people said that Facebook is the most chosen online shopping channel, followed by popular e-commerce platforms like Shopee, Tiki, Sendo.

With 91% of people, Vietnamese consumers in rural areas are relying on the internet for shopping rather than traditional channels. The number of internet users is higher than television (TV) audience (86%).

Daily internet usage continues to increase (149 minutes) per head and nearly double TV time (87 minutes). Among consumers watching TV, up to 47% of people also used smartphones to chat or access social networks, the report wrote.

Using social media is the most popular internet activity with 92% of the people. Facebook is the most widely used social network with 97%.

In addition to using social media, rural consumers watch video online (74%), play online games (34%), and shop on the internet (14%). Nearly 50% of rural users chose Facebook Watch as the favorite channel for online video.

Recommendations for brands

It is estimated that from 2020-2025, the monthly spending of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) in rural areas will increase by 7% on average annually, faster than that in grade-one urban areas (4%). Over 70% of FMCG categories haven’t been chosen by a number of rural consumers, representing an opportunity to increase the number of consumers, according to the report.

To catch up with the trend, the report recommended that advertisers should combine between online and traditional communication channels to ensure maximum reach to potential consumers and achieve cost effectiveness.

In order to connect with consumers more deeply, brands can roll out a variety of activities on their online media channels from social media, including online videos and promotional content with the participation of celebrities and gaming.

According to local experts, the online sales channel will be an opportunity to increase product penetration in rural areas, especially when the traditional channel has not been able to compete in convenience for busy consumers.

Khoi Le, Facebook’s Business Director in Vietnam, emphasized that how to attract more new consumers is always an issue that business managers are looking for solutions.

“As the number of new users in big cities is running out and the competition among brands is becoming saturated, the attraction of users in the second and third tier satellite cities, and rural areas becomes increasingly important,” he said.
