GREAT LEAP
FORWARD
 International retailers are
increasingly 1) considering China
as a market “sell from the source”;
and 2) sourcing product in China
 Recent trip to UK a number of
retailers intend to use PRC to do
fulfillment for Australia as for
premium product the consumer
experience waiting for 4-5 weeks in
unacceptable
 To date China’s large e-comm
giants have concentrated solely on
domestic market - one e-comm
client has started work on English
site and global sales strategy
 Imagine if Taobao/T-mall come to
Australia

AS A COMPETITOR
www.kwm.com |
AS AN
INVESTOR/COLLABORATOR
13
For many the only way to be really successful in China is to work with Chinese
cash, contacts and operational know how to build their brand
 When China first opened to foreign investment in the early 1990’s,
many foreign investors rushed into China with cash and technology
for manufacturing projects
 Today the world has changed – China is not only an importer of
capital, but is an aggregator and exporter
 Private Equity, both foreign and Chinese, face pressure in finding
viable projects – may neatly dovetail with foreign retailers/brand
owners who are cash strapped or at least do not have sufficient
economic muscle to roll out a retail strategy in a country with more
than 150 cities over 1 million inhabitants
 For many foreign retailers/brand owners a serious China roll-out
would result in 90% of their CAPEX being in China
 Many foreign brands even the largest ones rely on strong
franchisees
 Major Chinese companies like Suning, Calxon, Wahaha, Fosun are
looking for co-operation

BIGGEST MISTAKES
14
www.kwm.com |
MISTAKE 1: NOT KNOW YOURSELF
15
Think about your company. Think about your resources. Ask
yourself the following questions:
 Have you looked at China?
 Do you have the resources to do this by
yourself?
 Am I prepared?
 Do I want a partner?
 How do I find the right partner?
 Can I trust my team?
 Do I have reasonable and achievable plans?
 Do I have a cost effective market entry
strategy?

MISTAKE 2: CHINA IS
SHANGHAI AND BEIJING
www.kwm.com |
• Expanding beyond Shanghai and
Beijing
• HUGE customer base in 2nd and
3rd tier markets
• Lower costs – leases, employees,
overhead, etc.
• Retail rent in 1st tier cities
expensive on a global scale, and
staff and other costs are still on
the rise
• Less competition from other
retailers
• Preferential treatment from local
authorities
• Easier to build brand awareness
BEYOND SHANGHAI & BEIJINGPENETRATING 2nd AND 3rd TIER CITIES

MISTAKE 3:
FAIL TO REGISTER TM
If a Pirate registers “your trademark” then:
You may be sued for infringement of trademark for sales within China
You may be sued for manufacturing products with such trademark within
China
Your trademarked products may be seized by PRC Customs
You may need to buy back for high price – see Apple purchase of IPAD TM

E-COMMERCEThe biggest booming sector
23
MISTAKE 5: E-COMMERCE
NOT AS A PRIMARY
 E-COMMERCE IS BOOMING IN CHINA
 But it is different than the West
 EASY TO DO:
 Own online presence is straightforward and low cost to establish
 Add online presence to physical store
 Tmall is an option but should not be exclusive e-com channel
 E-COMMERCE LEGAL ISSUES INCLUDE:
 IP protection – first-to-file
 Privacy/Data protection – No explicit law prohibiting data collection
 E-contracts – Advertisements are not offers
 PRC E-COMMERCE CHALLENGES:
 Payment – COD and 3rd party payment companies
 Logistics – Difficulties in 2nd- and 3rd-tier cities
 Returns – Expect a lot of returns
 Social media – Restricted industry in China
 The Chinese consumer – Impatient, Indecisive, prefers COD payment
 Competition – FIERCE
www.kwm.com | 24
CHINA E-COMMERCE = ALIBABA
E-Commerce in China is dominated by the
Alibaba Group. Unlike the West, Chinese E-
commerce developed during the same time as
the development of Alibaba Group, so
Chinese E-consumers are platform specific.
Instead of searching for a product on Baidu or
Google, most Chinese consumers will go
directly to Taobao to conduct their search;
therefore, traditional ways of driving traffic
(including Search Engine Optimization) are
not as effective in China.

 2012 revenue = RMB 24 billion
 24,000 employees
 In 2012, facilitated more sales (RMB 1.1
trillion) than eBay and Amazon combined
 Plans to open traditional brick and mortar

real estate company Wanda
www.kwm.com | 27
TAOBAO vs. TMALL
Taobao is the largest consumer-to-consumer
online shopping platform in China. The focus
of Taobao is C2C and it allows the resale of
products without any licensing requirements,
as long as it does not violate Chinese law.
The primary protection for brand owners on
Taobao is to prevent infringers from using
copyrighted pictures or trademarks.
Tmall can be distinguished from Taobao as a
dedicated business-to-consumer online
shopping platform that restricts its
participants to actual brand owners or
licensees. Therefore, Tmall is able to assure
consumers that they are purchasing an
authentic product.
 Cannot use misleading words on
Tmall such as “Nike-style”
shoes.
 Tmall controls its vendors and
requires them to show their
business license, license
agreements, and other
documents to ensure
authenticity.
 Taobao searches will include
Tmall products, but not vice
versa.
 Only Tmall flagship stores have
the right to buy Taobao banners
directing consumers to the store
in a Taobao search.
 Tmall provides consumer
information to store owners for
both their own store and their
sectors.
www.kwm.com | 28
TMALL STATS
 By using Taobao’s
infrastructure and payment
system Alipay, users are
familiar with all services
and trust the mechanism
 Tmall only accepts verified
stores, so there’s a
guarantee that products
sold online are real
 Tmall launched a
standalone iPhone app to
enter the m-commerce
market
www.kwm.com |
 Tmall is currently China’s most popular B2C
platform. Any product search performed within
the Alibaba family including Taobao and eTao will
direct customers to Tmall listed products.
 If a WFOE already operates a retail store during
the establishment, then it can directly become a
seller on Tmall without any additional
government authorization.
 Tmall is more discerning than Taobao -
participating merchants are authenticated.
 Tmall has 150,000 merchants and 200,000
brands selling to 180 million customers.
Many branded suppliers have set up flagship
stores on Tmall.
 Gross sales for 2010 exceeded RMB 1 trillion,
about three times more than its closest
competitor, 360buy. Tmall dominates the B2C
online retail market in China.
TMALL HAS RUN SINGLES DAY
SALE IN PAST FOUR YEARS:
2009 SALES RMB 50 MILLION

2011 SALES RMB 3.36 BILLION
2012 SALES RMB 19.1 BILLION

UNDERSTANDING TMALL
Perceived downsides include:
FLAGSHIP
STORE
Owner of the store must be
formal or exclusive
representative of the brand
SPECIALITY
STORE
Dealers with distribution rights
without geographical restrictions
in the Greater China region are
eligible to open this type of store
“MONOPOLIZED”
STORE
Merchants with two or more brands
within one of TMall’s product categories
can open this type of store. Only one
“monopolized” store can be held per
merchant per product category
STORE FORMATS
TMALL INSISTS ON ITS STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS; LITTLE ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION.
 Concerns as to customer information
 Loss of control over branding
 Customer experience
 Captive retailers/brand owners
FRANCHISE

COSTS AND FEESAnd other requirements
 Deposit of RMB 150,000 for Multi-brand stores
 Deposit of RMB 100,000 for a flagship store
 Deposit of RMB 50,000 for standard store
 Technical service fee of RMB 60,000 per year. 50% of
the fee will be redeemed by reaching RMB 360,000 in
sales and 100% after reaching RMB 1.2 million in sales
 Every transaction is subject to a 5% sales commission
which is automatically deducted
 0.5% Tmall consumer cash-back program in which all
Tmall retailers must participate
 Contracts are signed and re-signed annually so there
are no long term arrangements
Costs and fees depend on the type of store and
business you decide to open but as a guide:

Must allow consumers to return
products within 7 days (if
product is re-saleable)
Must provide return shipment
within 72 hours of complaint
being filed
Guarantee that products are
genuine. If products are fake –

DRIVING TMALL
TRAFFIC
32
 Organic search platform that will
link to highest selling products
 Paid marketing through charges
per sale, purchasing key words,
pay per click, banners.
 Tmall special events (Singles Day
sales, Christmas sales, etc.).
 These events are generally
free and only require following
certain requirements to
participate (Minimum inventory
of products, free delivery, etc.)
 On a first come, first serve
basis
www.kwm.com |
FOREIGN BRAND OWNERS
33
Tmall is actively trying to recruit foreign brands to its platform
 Tmall understands that foreign brands are at a competitive disadvantage
for decision making, especially in regards to special events, which are
allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
 Tmall reserves 10 monthly banners specifically for foreign brand owners.
The decision to award these banners is a holistic approach, but the key is
the ability to drive traffic to Tmall and promote the Tmall brand along with
your own. If you are hosting a large event and are willing to promote your
Tmall store at that event, Tmall will be more inclined to provide you one of
these banners.
 The Flagship stores are intended to also serve as marketing platforms to
educate the consumer about your brand along with being a point of sale.
 BEING ABLE TO CROSS PROMOTE TMALL IS KEY!

10
Foreign retailers have already made headway
into China without any directed presence. One
client had over USD 60 million in gross sales
without any physical stores, marketing or even a
Chinese language website.
For retailers who already manufacture in China,
it may be more cost effective to retain a surplus
of goods and outsource warehouse storage and
logistics to 3rd party service providers instead of
paying double duty by shipping manufactured
goods out of China and back in again.
At present many foreign retailers first export
goods for sorting overseas – however, some
face resistance from Chinese suppliers to adjust
the supply relationship. In reality, normally not
legal but for commercial reasons (i.e. VAT
rebate, transfer pricing, maintain funds outside
China, etc.).
An initial step is to work with an e-commerce
partner.
CLICKS WITHOUT BRICKSNOT EVEN HERE & SELLING

14
A big loser will likely be the traditional department store –
unless they have a flagship department store coupled with a
massive on-line version.
An approved Retail WFOE does not
need to apply for on-line sales as
specific part of business scope.
A Retail WFOE with established stores can have online
sales via 3rd parties (e.g. Tmall) or via own website. Sales
via own website require ICP license from Ministry of
Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
Trend will be for many retailers to have flagship stores for customer
experience coupled with an on-message online presence and
exposure to various portals such as T-Mall or 360.
Develop an on-line mindset. View on-line
presence as a complement to physical
stores, not merely an add-on.
14
BRICKS AND CLICKSMOST FOREIGN RETAILERS WANT SOME PHYSICAL PRESENCE
www.kwm.com |
IMPORTANCE OF A PHYSICAL STORE
You still need a showroom
37
BRAND RECOGNITION
 Physical stores serve as a showroom for
Chinese shoppers to test out products and ask
questions. Even if they are no longer a point-of-
sale in China, a physical presence is still
extremely important to control and advertise
your brand.
 It’s a way to connect the online experience with
the real world.
 It’s an alternative to being captive on
Taobao/Tmall only.
 Physical stores in prime locations are similar to
commercial advertising on television. Brand
recognition decrease drastically when retailers
are crammed into the same website. A physical
presence allows consumers to distinguish your
brand from competitors.
MAINTAIN PERCEPTION OF QUALITY
 Foreign products are perceived to be of higher
quality than local products and a physical store
than can provide a “brand experience” can
further distinguish your product and maintain
the perception of quality.
 The physical store can provide a “brand
experience” for your customers and help them
identify with your brand. Both Apple and
Starbucks are extremely successful foreign
retailers who have utilized the “coolness” of
their brand to create an experience for the
Chinese consumer.
 The physical store also reaffirms to the
consumer that they are receiving authentic
foreign products.
www.kwm.com |
ADDING BRICKS TO THE CLICKS
HOW ANGRY BIRDS WENT FROM ONLINE GAME TO PHYSICAL RETAILER
 Originally created as a game for the iPhone
 Now, has expanded to clothing, toys and
even amusement parks
 ROVIO, the developer, expects its China
revenue to triple in 2012, including opening a
brand store in Shanghai selling licensed
apparel and iPhone cases
 Planned to open 25 stores in China in 2012
 Also opening Angry Bird-themed amusement
parks in China in several provinces.
38
www.kwm.com |
MISTAKE 6: REAL ESTATE
 For most e-commerce not enough – also need physical
presence
 Stores increasingly concept or experience rather than
mere sales
 In 1st tier cities premier landlords have leverage
 General term for leases (other than hyper-markets or
flagship stores) is less than 3 years
 In case of a breach of short term lease by landlord there is
little practical recourse by tenant
 Not uncommon for landlord to put in own similar shop in
space afterwards
www.kwm.com |
SUMMARYMain takeaways
 China’s Retail market is booming. While the
methods are changing (moving towards 2nd/3rd cities
or e-commerce, China’s retail market is still going
full speed ahead.
 The importance of E-commerce. By utilizing e-
commerce platforms, you can quickly establish
distribution networks, and drastically improve your
ability to expand to 2nd, 3rd (and beyond) tier
markets.
 Use Chinese local know-how and cash to roll out
Your business will concentrate on brand/innovation,
let Chinese partner worry about lease, staff, and
local authorities
 Keep the corporate DNA intact Your brand will
always remain your most valuable asset

Australia ecomm retail speech january 2014 king & wood mallesons mark schaub

  • 1. www.kwm.com | WHY CHINA IS January 2014 KING & WOOD MALLESONS Sydney and Melbourne RELEVANT
  • 5. www.kwm.com | Shanghai Subway 1995 – 16.1 km Shanghai Railway Station Jinjiang Park
  • 6. www.kwm.com | Shanghai Subway 2010 - over 420 km
  • 7. www.kwm.com | Shanghai Subway 2020 - over 877 km
  • 8. www.kwm.com | NEW YORK USD 78.2 BILLION SHANGHAI USD 114.5 BILLION
  • 9. www.kwm.com | “To Get Rich is Glorious” Deng Xiaoping  Retail sales increasing 18% annually  Rapidly increasing GDP per capita from GDP PP of USD 419 in 1992 to USD 4382 in 2012  China is moving from export led economic model to domestic consumption model  Taobao China’s No 1 online retailer sells 50,000 items per minute  China surpassed Japan in 2011 as world’s 2nd biggest economy  On 11 November 2012 Taobao sold USD 3 billion in a single day AS A MARKET
  • 10. www.kwm.com | China’s Single’s Day which is on 11th November is the hottest online sales day of the year CHINA VALENTINE’S DAY Taobao’s sales during the 24 hours of the 11th November developed as follows:  2009 Taobao sales RMB 100,000,000  2010 sales RMB 936,000,000  2011 sales RMB 5,200,000,000  2012 Taobao sales RMB 19,100,000,000
  • 11. www.kwm.com | On 11th November 2013 Taobao sold: RMB 35,000,000,000
  • 12. www.kwm.com | 6 CHINA 2015 GREAT LEAP FORWARD  International retailers are increasingly 1) considering China as a market “sell from the source”; and 2) sourcing product in China  Recent trip to UK a number of retailers intend to use PRC to do fulfillment for Australia as for premium product the consumer experience waiting for 4-5 weeks in unacceptable  To date China’s large e-comm giants have concentrated solely on domestic market - one e-comm client has started work on English site and global sales strategy  Imagine if Taobao/T-mall come to Australia 6 AS A COMPETITOR
  • 13. www.kwm.com | AS AN INVESTOR/COLLABORATOR 13 For many the only way to be really successful in China is to work with Chinese cash, contacts and operational know how to build their brand  When China first opened to foreign investment in the early 1990’s, many foreign investors rushed into China with cash and technology for manufacturing projects  Today the world has changed – China is not only an importer of capital, but is an aggregator and exporter  Private Equity, both foreign and Chinese, face pressure in finding viable projects – may neatly dovetail with foreign retailers/brand owners who are cash strapped or at least do not have sufficient economic muscle to roll out a retail strategy in a country with more than 150 cities over 1 million inhabitants  For many foreign retailers/brand owners a serious China roll-out would result in 90% of their CAPEX being in China  Many foreign brands even the largest ones rely on strong franchisees  Major Chinese companies like Suning, Calxon, Wahaha, Fosun are looking for co-operation
  • 15. www.kwm.com | MISTAKE 1: NOT KNOW YOURSELF 15 Think about your company. Think about your resources. Ask yourself the following questions:  Have you looked at China?  Do you have the resources to do this by yourself?  Am I prepared?  Do I want a partner?  How do I find the right partner?  Can I trust my team?  Do I have reasonable and achievable plans?  Do I have a cost effective market entry strategy?
  • 16. www.kwm.com | Over 150 cities with population of at least one million Paris 11.7 million Guangzhou 12 million London 8.5 million Chongqing 28.8 million Dongguan 8.2 million Berlin 3.5 million Madrid 3.2 million 24 New York City 8.3 million Los Angeles 3.8 million Shenzhen 10.5 million MISTAKE 2: CHINA IS SHANGHAI AND BEIJING
  • 17. www.kwm.com | • Expanding beyond Shanghai and Beijing • HUGE customer base in 2nd and 3rd tier markets • Lower costs – leases, employees, overhead, etc. • Retail rent in 1st tier cities expensive on a global scale, and staff and other costs are still on the rise • Less competition from other retailers • Preferential treatment from local authorities • Easier to build brand awareness BEYOND SHANGHAI & BEIJINGPENETRATING 2nd AND 3rd TIER CITIES
  • 18. www.kwm.com | MISTAKE 3: FAIL TO REGISTER TM If a Pirate registers “your trademark” then: You may be sued for infringement of trademark for sales within China You may be sued for manufacturing products with such trademark within China Your trademarked products may be seized by PRC Customs You may need to buy back for high price – see Apple purchase of IPAD TM
  • 19. www.kwm.com | “People’s way of thinking is a battlefield. If we do not occupy it, our enemy will.” Mao Zedong, the most influential person in 20th century China MISTAKE 4: DO NOT REGISTER CHINESE TM
  • 20. www.kwm.com | CHINESE NAME MATTERSCan You Strengthen a Foreign Brand Identity with a Chinese Name • 3,580,000 • 17,500,000 Louis Vuitton 路易威登 • 29,600,000 • 49,900,000 Chanel 香奈儿 • 8,460,000 • 17,200,000 Hermes 爱马仕 • 819,000 • 3,060,000 Ermenegildo Zegna 杰尼亚 English name Chinese name Run a search on Baidu.com with the brand’s English and Chinese name: The results will tell the answer
  • 21. www.kwm.com | WHY CHINESE NAMES ARE IMPORTANT IN CHINA 伟哥 (“Strongman”) vs 万艾可 (wan ai ke) 20,500,000 hits 2,150,000 hits 21 Viagra’s Chinese name
  • 22. www.kwm.com | WHY CHINESE NAMES ARE IMPORTANT IN CHINA Drug for erectile dysfunction Product of current owner of trademark 伟哥 (“strongman”) 22
  • 23. www.kwm.com | E-COMMERCEThe biggest booming sector 23 MISTAKE 5: E-COMMERCE NOT AS A PRIMARY  E-COMMERCE IS BOOMING IN CHINA  But it is different than the West  EASY TO DO:  Own online presence is straightforward and low cost to establish  Add online presence to physical store  Tmall is an option but should not be exclusive e-com channel  E-COMMERCE LEGAL ISSUES INCLUDE:  IP protection – first-to-file  Privacy/Data protection – No explicit law prohibiting data collection  E-contracts – Advertisements are not offers  PRC E-COMMERCE CHALLENGES:  Payment – COD and 3rd party payment companies  Logistics – Difficulties in 2nd- and 3rd-tier cities  Returns – Expect a lot of returns  Social media – Restricted industry in China  The Chinese consumer – Impatient, Indecisive, prefers COD payment  Competition – FIERCE
  • 24. www.kwm.com | 24 CHINA E-COMMERCE = ALIBABA E-Commerce in China is dominated by the Alibaba Group. Unlike the West, Chinese E- commerce developed during the same time as the development of Alibaba Group, so Chinese E-consumers are platform specific. Instead of searching for a product on Baidu or Google, most Chinese consumers will go directly to Taobao to conduct their search; therefore, traditional ways of driving traffic (including Search Engine Optimization) are not as effective in China.
  • 25. www.kwm.com | CUSTOMER China’s leading on-line payment platform. Has over 600 million registered accounts and proceeds over 11 million transactions per day. ALIBABA DOMINATION BUSINESS One of the most popular B2B marketplaces worldwide. China’s on-line shopping leader. In Dec 2010, had more than 370 million registered users and 800 million listings. Global Alexa Rank* 80th Global Alexa Rank* 97th 14thGlobal Alexa Rank* China Market Share 48.9% China Market Share 49% China Market Share 90.3% Global Alexa Rank* 62nd China Market Share 48.5% Dedicated B2C platform. More than 30,000 Chinese and international brands *As at Dec 2011 CUSTOMER BUSINESS
  • 26. www.kwm.com | 26 ALIBABA AT A GLIMPSE  Founded in 1999, headquartered in Hangzhou  Ma (Jack) Yun is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO  2012 revenue = RMB 24 billion  24,000 employees  In 2012, facilitated more sales (RMB 1.1 trillion) than eBay and Amazon combined  Plans to open traditional brick and mortar retail outlets in partnership with Chinese real estate company Wanda
  • 27. www.kwm.com | 27 TAOBAO vs. TMALL Taobao is the largest consumer-to-consumer online shopping platform in China. The focus of Taobao is C2C and it allows the resale of products without any licensing requirements, as long as it does not violate Chinese law. The primary protection for brand owners on Taobao is to prevent infringers from using copyrighted pictures or trademarks. Tmall can be distinguished from Taobao as a dedicated business-to-consumer online shopping platform that restricts its participants to actual brand owners or licensees.

  • 35. www.kwm.com | 10 Foreign retailers have already made headway into China without any directed presence. One client had over USD 60 million in gross sales without any physical stores, marketing or even a Chinese language website. For retailers who already manufacture in China, it may be more cost effective to retain a surplus of goods and outsource warehouse storage and logistics to 3rd party service providers instead of paying double duty by shipping manufactured goods out of China and back in again. At present many foreign retailers first export goods for sorting overseas – however, some face resistance from Chinese suppliers to adjust the supply relationship. In reality, normally not legal but for commercial reasons (i.e. VAT rebate, transfer pricing, maintain funds outside China, etc.). An initial step is to work with an e-commerce partner. CLICKS WITHOUT BRICKSNOT EVEN HERE & SELLING
  • 36. www.kwm.com | 14 A big loser will likely be the traditional department store – unless they have a flagship department store coupled with a massive on-line version. An approved Retail WFOE does not need to apply for on-line sales as specific part of business scope. A Retail WFOE with established stores can have online sales via 3rd parties (e.g. Tmall) or via own website. Sales via own website require ICP license from Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Trend will be for many retailers to have flagship stores for customer experience coupled with an on-message online presence and exposure to various portals such as T-Mall or 360. Develop an on-line mindset. View on-line presence as a complement to physical stores, not merely an add-on. 14 BRICKS AND CLICKSMOST FOREIGN RETAILERS WANT SOME PHYSICAL PRESENCE
  • 37. www.kwm.com | IMPORTANCE OF A PHYSICAL STORE You still need a showroom 37 BRAND RECOGNITION  Physical stores serve as a showroom for Chinese shoppers to test out products and ask questions. Even if they are no longer a point-of- sale in China, a physical presence is still extremely important to control and advertise your brand.  It’s a way to connect the online experience with the real world.  It’s an alternative to being captive on Taobao/Tmall only.  Physical stores in prime locations are similar to commercial advertising on television. Brand recognition decrease drastically when retailers are crammed into the same website. A physical presence allows consumers to distinguish your brand from competitors. MAINTAIN PERCEPTION OF QUALITY  Foreign products are perceived to be of higher quality than local products and a physical store than can provide a “brand experience” can further distinguish your product and maintain the perception of quality.  The physical store can provide a “brand experience” for your customers and help them identify with your brand. Both Apple and Starbucks are extremely successful foreign retailers who have utilized the “coolness” of their brand to create an experience for the Chinese consumer.  The physical store also reaffirms to the consumer that they are receiving authentic foreign products.

  • 39. www.kwm.com | MISTAKE 6: REAL ESTATE  For most e-commerce not enough – also need physical presence  Stores increasingly concept or experience rather than mere sales  In 1st tier cities premier landlords have leverage  General term for leases (other than hyper-markets or flagship stores) is less than 3 years  In case of a breach of short term lease by landlord there is little practical recourse by tenant  Not uncommon for landlord to put in own similar shop in space afterwards
  • 40. www.kwm.com | SUMMARYMain takeaways  China’s Retail market is booming.
