“We go E-commerce not only because we want to expand the business and get
more sales, but the main purpose is to promote our brand,” says Michael Zhou, the CEO of
Shecy Pearls.
“Though our physical stores have being going quite well, the popularity
was growing very slowly. We mainly depend on “word-of-mouth”, which means new customers
knew us mostly from
the recommendation of their friends who were our previous customers. So
even we already established reputation, we were not so well-known.”
“We’ve also had a lot of customers who asked if we had a website. So we
thought it was the time to establish our online store, not only for promotion, but also
convenient for our customers.”
Shecy Pearls using an online store instead of advertisements to promote
the brand is such a refreshing idea. Advertisements nowadays are not as convincing any more.
A lot of people get tired of them. They prefer to research by themselves. The invention of
internet has brought such a great opportunity for people to find as much information as they
want. Instead of driving for a long distance to shop around between shopping centers,
people can just simply type “pearl jewelry” in Google and find plenty of information of pearl
jewelry knowledge or pearl jewelry sellers.
Before Shecy Pearls built their website, most people hardly know them.
Now it is so easy to find information about Shecy Pearls, such as if Shecy Pearls has got a
good reputation and what kind of products and service Shecy Pearls provide. Potential
customers finally get a chance to know Shecy. When Shecy is recognized by more and more
customers, “word-of-mouth” spreads much faster on Internet than in real life.
“Before we opened the online shop, our sales volume largely depends on
overseas tourists’ visit. We mostly wait for people from overseas to travel here. There is
always a big difference between busy season and quiet season of
tourism. We really have a very good sale in busy season each year, but we found it was just a waste of business
opportunity for quiet season,” says Paul. “Now together with the growing
popularity, we can easily get so much more sales without season difference
effect, at least not so much.”
E-commerce has already become a trend in business area. Today website is
a platform for customers and companies to communicate. It is becoming an
essential for businesses.
