EMERGING TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS
Asian eCommerce innovation: Enabling Digital Lives
Overview
Online shopping has been around for years. However, it is now expanding as an industry – we are no longer restricted to buying groceries or books online; we are seeing forays into services like education, and the gig economy (taking on freelance work online) is fast becoming a career option for many. For companies, the prevalence of online commerce has created additional monetisation opportunities through the use of affiliate marketing.
Learning from Asian experience, how can you become the driving force behind your customers’ digital lives?
This report identifies recent innovations in eCommerce from China, India and Indonesia, examines emerging eCommerce product lines, assesses new affiliate marketing opportunities and strategies, and explores new revenue drivers.
We focus on the following key areas:
-
Monetising through scaling in affiliate marketing and social commerce – bridging the gap between SMEs and resellers
-
Building relationships with and engaging your userbase through supporting online education – a rapidly emerging digital sector
-
Advancing your users’ digital livelihoods by supporting the increasing demand for access to the Gig Economy
-
Leveraging on other content and product verticals to expand into eCommerce and secure a greater market presence, even if your core business is not commerce
