Prior to the establishment of cross-border e-commerce, Dexing was already a well-known national stationery brand in China. After going overseas across borders, DeLi also established a world of its own overseas, becoming a study partner and work assistant for domestic and foreign consumers.

Thanks to Amazon's overall sales growth of 323% year over year, sales from corporate and institutional buyers increased 485% year over year*!
Today, Xiaobian will take you to talk with Faye, the deputy manager of the Cross-border Self-Sales Department of an overseas e-commerce company, to see how to enjoy stationery and office supplies overseas. Come and copy your homework!

Do I still need to go out to sea?
Strong brands have gone overseas for nearly ten years. They initially did OEM processing for international brands, then gradually expanded the brand's overseas offline distribution. In 2018, it was only through strength that I resolutely chose to transform cross-border e-commerce through Amazon and go overseas.

Processing trade is not a long-term solution, and the development of traditional foreign trade continues to be blocked. The transformation into cross-border e-commerce is a curved overtaking track for foundries and traditional foreign trade to break through bottlenecks.
With the rise of cross-border e-commerce and the continuous increase in demand for overseas stationery, effective sales products cover many application scenarios such as office meetings, holiday arrangements, short commuting, and laboratory cleaning required by enterprises and school institutions, and are a “money” power stock. Under such a major trend, we have successfully formed a number of cross-border e-commerce teams with post-90s and post-00s as the main force. With leading products such as desktop storage boxes, staplers, and whiteboards, etc., we have made Chinese products overseas, and overseas stationery brands have seized market share. In just 3 years, Amazon occupied 90% of the effective cross-border e-commerce business.

So many hot selling products

How to find products that foreigners like?

Faye, Deputy Manager of the Cross-border Self-Operating Department of an Overseas E-commerce Company
When we first launched our products, we adopted a large-scale distribution strategy to put all the best-selling products in China on the shelves, but the results were unsatisfactory.
Differences in consumer preferences at home and abroad make it easy to discover that product selection strategies cannot be “copied with one click”. As a result, Deli immediately re-conducted market research, studied the most popular stationery products from various overseas sites, analyzed various aspects such as product design, functional characteristics, and price, and thoroughly understood the selling points that consumers were concerned about. Based on analysis, a set of stationery such as desktop storage, staplers, and colored pencils was re-launched, which was more in line with the preferences of overseas consumers, and quickly became a hit on Amazon.
In particular, I have summed up the 5 major steps to create a hit model on Amazon
The first step to creating a blockbuster:
Check out the competition and learn about hot school supplies!
Check out the competition and learn about hot school supplies!
Dely often uses Amazon's Best Seller list to understand competitors' product features, sales volume, pricing, and keyword analysis to identify the key points of sale. In addition to the resources within the site, Strong will also use third-party tools outside the site to understand the popularity and consumption trends of different school supplies categories to better grasp popular sales trends.
The second step to creating a blockbuster model:
Be good at finding hidden business opportunities on Amazon!
Be good at finding hidden business opportunities on Amazon!
I was able to discover that in addition to its huge overseas consumer base, Amazon also has more than 5 million high-quality corporate and institutional buyers! Nearly 90% of the top 100 American schools and educational institutions, more than 3,000 French schools, and over 90% of the school institutional buyers of Japanese national universities all buy school supplies from Amazon companies. Moreover, every time you go to a promotion point related to the stationery category, sales volume increases dramatically, and the repurchase rate is also quite high. This is a great business opportunity for school supplies sellers. As a result, it became one of the first sellers to launch Amazon Business in the second year after launch.

We have found that corporate and school buyers have great purchasing potential!The average sales volume of commercial procurement orders was also higher than 40.8% overall. In 2021, sales from the corporate side increased 485% over the previous year!

The third step to creating a hit:
Understand consumer preferences and pay attention to review management!
Understand consumer preferences and pay attention to review management!
Different sites and types of consumers have different purchasing preferences. Effectively understand buyer profiles and accurately target groups through brand analysis tools and seller platforms. At the same time, we also always pay attention to reviews of competitors' products on Best Seller and reviews of our own products, analyze user pain points, and better dig deeper into buyers' needs.

Business buyers focus on value for money, so we mainly recommend branded products. Individual buyers, on the other hand, focus on personalized products, so we will adjust the color and appearance of the products.

From a retail perspective, European and American consumers prefer pink products, while Japanese consumers pay more attention to quality and macaron colors.

The fourth step to creating a blockbuster:
Provide cost-effective products and continue to optimize products!
Provide cost-effective products and continue to optimize products!
Improving a product is a key step in creating a hit. School supplies require different tests during the development process. In order to strictly control quality, we can perform CTC/CSC tests, chemical tests, safety tests, etc. on pencils, toners, etc., and transport tests, drop tests, etc. on whiteboards.
Before the product was launched, it relied on the supply chain, cost advantage, and optimization of product packaging, and was able to launch high-quality, cost-effective, and highly functional products that were competitive with a price advantage of 5-10% lower than competitive products.

In fact, we have also experienced problems with product selection and stocking. When transporting whiteboards, products and packaging exported from traditional foreign trade are directly used, resulting in logistics costs far exceeding competitive products, uncompetitive prices, and negative profit sales. The whiteboard with the biggest difference in price has a shipping difference of 60 dollars!
——Faye
After learning the lessons, Dexing optimized the packaging of all whiteboard products, optimized the product size, package size and accessories according to the FBA size, and used official logistics and other methods to reduce logistics costs. At the same time, Deli also set aside 3-4 months of logistics and transportation time, and 100% uses Amazon Logistics FBA to solve back-end delivery and after-sales problems.
After listing, DeLi will also continue to pay attention to feedback, continuously optimize products, and invite buyers to provide high-quality videos and images to comment through the Amazon Vine Program, so that consumers can trust the product more.

A correction tape has been released before, but many consumers have reported that the tape core does not adhere well and that there is a problem of detachment. To this end, we bought competing products and found that there were indeed shortcomings in comparison, so we chose to replace the previous domestic tape core with an imported tape core, optimized the product, and re-launched it on the shelves. We also continue to observe the improved products, and the entire process is followed up, supervised and fed back by the quality department.

The fifth step to creating a blockbuster model:
Seize Amazon's big promotion points,
Make good use of internal and external tools to turn traffic into sales!

In addition to the well-known Prime Day and Black Friday, our main activities are the back-to-school season and construction season for Amazon Business purchases.
——Faye
The back-to-school season is an important annual event on Amazon Enterprise. It helps educational business buyers buy educational supplies such as school supplies, teaching activity supplies, etc., and carry out large-scale commercial procurement and storage. For the back-to-school season activities, effective efforts have also formed a complete preparation plan for product selection, development, preparation, promotion and promotion. The back-to-school season usually begins in the middle of that year, but Weili will start developing products one year early to ensure the depth and breadth of the products.
After deciding on the selected products, they began stocking and promotion in the first quarter of that year, formulated promotion plans in advance, played 28 distribution promotion combinations outside the site, and concentrated their main efforts on the layout of the site:
● Off-site is two: Effective use of social media to increase user stickiness, thereby increasing product and brand attention.
● Site 8: Reach target consumers through the holiday warm-up atmosphere and brand flagship stores, and provide attractive prices for corporate buyers by setting corporate prices & volume discounts.

In addition to setting a 5% off corporate price, we also use a bulk discount tool during big promotions. The more you buy, the higher the discount. The overall traffic during the back-to-school season can reach about three times that of normal!

Identifying brand positioning+design+marketing is our secret to gaining popularity!
Brand Positioning
A strong brand positioning is dedicated to creating the ultimate cost-effective office and school supplies through online sales channels. Therefore, in terms of building brand awareness, we can stick to the product as the main focus, and make the product the best endorsement of the brand through word-of-mouth marketing.
brand design
For cross-border e-commerce, it effectively combines consumers' visual experience to localize scenarios, and has also adopted a multi-brand strategy to design different visuals according to the brand style. For example, in the powerful tool category, the visual design is mainly yellow.

brand marketing
At the same time, Weili will also post some plantable video or graphic promotion materials through various social media, presented with a unified visual symbol, and comprehensive brand marketing to create brand awareness.
