1. Chinese manufacturing companies must use overseas social media
Overseas social media is an essential infrastructure for acquiring customers in foreign trade, not just the icing on the cake. 2024 global B2B procurement data:
68% of buyers check supplier social media before placing orders
55% of B2B buyers discover new suppliers through social media
The number of inquiries for factories with active social media is 3.7 times that of factories with zero operations.
A large number of peer factories have continued to acquire customers through overseas social media. The core reason why most companies cannot achieve results is the lack of systematic implementation methodology. This article breaks down the complete set of practical procedures for the four major mainstream platforms, which can be implemented directly.
