TikTok and Chengyouqing Foreign Trade Independent Station: Dual Accelerators to Expand the Global Market

In recent years, with the increasing development of the global economy and the continuous innovation of digital technology, more and more companies have begun to go abroad, and TikTok short videos have become a new frontier for global marketing. A large number of users have poured into TikTok to display and share their daily life and creative products. At present, the monthly active volume of TikTok has exceeded 1 billion, and the e-commerce GMV has reached nearly 6 billion! The user population covers more than 150 countries, becoming the next gold nugget in the eyes of sellers. Short videos can be used to promote the promotion and exposure of brands and products in overseas markets, gain higher traffic, more buyers and orders, and help cross-border E-commerce independent station enterprises create exclusive private domain traffic. Chongqing ChengYouqing Network Technology Co., Ltd. said that mastering the TikTok+ independent station drainage method will have unlimited value for cross-border e-commerce retail and wholesale sellers and foreign trade export companies. Focus on overseas markets. In this process, the two platforms of TikTok and foreign trade independent stations have increasingly become important channels and tools for enterprises to go overseas.

In 2023, as the global short video market continues to grow, TikTok has become one of the most popular short video platforms in the world, with more than 1 billion users and millions of potential partners such as Internet celebrities and KOLs. By posting interesting and useful video content on TikTok, businesses can easily attract more attention and fans, thereby building their brand image and reputation.

At the same time, the foreign trade independent station has also become one of the preferred platforms for more and more companies to go overseas. By establishing their own stores on the independent foreign trade website, and using its complete payment, logistics and other service systems, enterprises can sell products to the global market more conveniently, improve sales efficiency and reduce operating costs.

Combining TikTok and foreign trade independent websites, enterprises can not only directly target global overseas markets, but also use the new marketing tools and methods provided by these platforms to carry out more accurate and targeted publicity and promotion. For example, enterprises can cooperate with popular Internet celebrities or KOLs on TikTok to let them promote and promote their products; they can also use the social e-commerce function of the independent foreign trade website to conduct sales and transactions directly on the platform.

For enterprises, by combining the two platforms of TikTok and foreign trade independent stations, they can expand a broader overseas market, improve brand awareness and competitiveness, and increase sales and profits. At the same time, it can also provide more diversified and convenient shopping and entertainment experience for global users to meet their ever-changing consumption needs.

In general, TikTok and foreign trade independent stations will play an increasingly important role in the overseas expansion of enterprises in 2023, bringing more business opportunities and growth space for enterprises. Enterprises should actively deploy these platforms and continuously innovate marketing methods in order to better expand overseas markets and maximize business value.

A Prospecting Plan helps you fill your pipeline and identify the right prospects to engage.

The number one reason a sales rep fails is an empty pipeline. The root cause of an empty pipeline is a failure to prospect. Having a Prospecting Plan fills your pipeline and identifies the right prospects to engage. So how do you create a prospecting plan?

First, need to think about the right markets to target. This is just like a prospector in search of gold. The prospector would not go out to any river with hopes of finding gold out of sheer luck. The prospector is going to do his research or perhaps test the soil for mineral ore. Likewise, the prospector won’t arrive without his tools. The same goes for prospecting in a sales context. To be successful you must target the right markets (river) and have a prospecting plan (your tools). Sales managers must guide their reps in understanding the markets with the most opportunity. Position your team over a river with lots of gold. Ask yourself:

What markets receive the most value from buying our products/services?

What market segments in the industries we serve are growing?

What trends are driving growth?

The answers to these questions should serve as a guide for the most promising target markets. Your main goal is to understand the urgent needs and compelling desires of your target market.

After identifying your target markets, perform research on 5-6 prospect accounts within the market. Research can be overwhelming if you do not use a Prospecting Plan.

Below are 5 categories to capture in your prospecting plan:

Business Results – Alerts you to the company’s overall strategy. Business results are concerned with where a company is going, what their future looks like. i.e. grow revenue by 10% annually. These goals are usually provided in company financial statements or in management presentations.

Business Strategy – concerned with how the prospect plans to achieve their Business Results over the next 3-5 years (or longer).

Business Initiatives – Specific projects or programs undertaken to achieve the business strategy in the near-term. Examples may include reducing costs, increase efficiency, or improve sales performance.

Challenges – things that will support or constrain the progress of achieving the objectives. Examples include changes in ownership, production, R&D, logistics, money, or people.

Critical Capabilities – These are the capabilities your offering must address as you look at #1-4 above.

You may be tempted to wait to have these questions answered directly by the prospect.  However, the more information you have before speaking with the prospect, the better chance you have of earning the prospect’s business. Calling into an account when you have minimal information is a quick way to lose an opportunity.

Once you have completed your prospecting plan, it’s time to engage with the prospect. The key to engaging a prospect is framing the benefits of your solution in terms of their overall strategy. How will your product/service allow them to achieve the goals you researched in the prospecting plan?

Going back to the prospector looking for gold in the river. What are the chances he finds gold on his first try? Probably unlikely, but the more and more he pans, the higher his chances are of finding a golden nugget. If your sales team tries to prospect once, they will likely be unsuccessful. Prospecting needs to become a habit. It should be a repeatable process that your team executes daily or weekly. The more you dip your pan down into the water, the higher your chances are of getting that golden deal.

What is the best Ecommerce Platform?

Conducting business online requires a bit of the pioneer spirit. You’re hacking your way through the electronic wilderness, bearing your business ideas along the way. But, in the end, you might have tremendous success to show for it. Most of the most profitable new companies are eCommerce businesses. And some of them are the exact platforms that you can use to launch your very own online business. Use these platforms to create a solid foundation for your company.

  Partnering with a platform means that you have a support team and a framework to build your business around. These platforms have built-in features that act like little, extra nuggets of gold just for you. They give your business clout; they give your business exposure.

  Both culture and eCommerce have changed over the last 20 years. Today, our shopping habits are different than they were 20 years ago. Take Thanksgiving: it used to mark the beginning of the holiday shopping season. There was Black Friday. Then came Cyber Monday. Now it’s a full Cyber Month. November has become the new Black Friday. Customers can find bargains as they start their holiday shopping as early as the day after Halloween.

  When the customer is shopping he is constantly scanning data. There are the pictures and photos of the merchandise, the descriptions, the ads, and the banners. But what some forget is that there are also the comments and reviews. More and more, customers are counting on building trust or skepticism by reading the comments and reviews about the business itself as well as the item being viewed. Those pearls of wisdom from the shopping public could instill trust and cement belief in your company and its product or service. On the other hand, negative comments or reviews can drive customers away. Using an eCommerce platform to host your business gives added trust, belief and security to your brand by way of association. Consumers like being able to deal directly with the company whose product they’re purchasing. Today, millennials and gen-Xers don’t see the reason to have to go through a big-box middleman to get what they want. By using various eCommerce websites, like POD, AliExpress, Etsy, eBay, Shopify and Woocommerce, you are allowing your customer to have direct contact with your brand and have the kind of shopping experience she wants. This experience—the D2C or Direct to Consumer experience—is supported by B2C (Business to Consumer) platforms. Use them to boost your customer’s online shopping experience.

  Woocommerce is a highly customizable platform for hosting your online business. They wish to become the ultimate WordPress toolkit providers and they do offer some pretty wonderful advantages to hosting your business through them. Woocommerce has an informational and helpful tone. They automatically issue emails for purchases made, waiting too long for a response, or communicating about happy, little messages about this holiday or that celebration. So when you create your online store through WordPress, you can choose Woocommerce to make transactions with your customer smooth and engaging.

  AliExpress is the B2C marketplace of the company Alibaba, which has grown into one of the leading sources for merchandise out of China. AliExpress is a platform that you can use to help customers deal directly with you, the manufacturer of the product they want. So if you have a product or two or twenty, you needn’t look for a retailer who will sell your products for you. Creating an online presence through AliExpress will allow you to market your goods and wares directly to the consumer who could be from any corner of the world. This kind of platform standardizes the eCommerce experience for the customer buying your product and offers a reliable logistics platform for delivery.

  Etsy has become the place to shop if you’re looking for handmade or hand-designed merchandise. More than just a place for crafty people to sell their wares, more and more artists, engineers, creators, and entrepreneurs are selling on Etsy. The site has a visual appeal and a connotation of unique, well-made items. Some of them are not even physical pieces of merchandise. Digital downloads are a huge part of their business, where companies create digital invitations, cards, artwork and imagery for digital downloads by the customer. Etsy divides their ‘shops’ into a category: Home & Living, Jewelry & Accessories, Toys & Entertainment, etc. Your shop on Etsy can be personalized with banners and photos, an ‘About me’ page and a reference to your loyalty to Etsy (on Etsy “since 2011”). Etsy provides a way for consumers to contact you and will promote and profile various businesses on their landing pages for each category.

  Don’t forget about eBay, the ol’ Papa of the bunch, having been around for since 1995. You can, for a fee, create your own shop on eBay. This platform offers a bit of, well, everything and it’s not the most user friendly, in terms of navigating. But it does give you great exposure and end users galore. And you won’t need to invest in a large amount of marketing. It is the largest auction house on the web and that exposure will work for you to reach potential customers. The look of this eCommerce site is not as clean and simple as Etsy, but it does give you ample opportunity to describe and show your merchandise. This is especially helpful if you’re selling larger items such as furniture or technology-based goods. Still, you cannot customize your online presence like you can through Woocommerce. Also, because eBay is an auction house, essentially, you have to keep relisting products to sell. This can be tiresome.

  Lastly, there’s Shopify. Shopify is a place to launch your business that allows for a customizable experience. Your brand can have a look all its own and there are no design skills necessary. But your online store can be amplified with the addition of new sales channels through Shopify, such as Pinterest or Amazon. With Shopify, you can manage your inventory, fulfill order and track sales. Shopify handles the marketing, checkout, and shipping. Shopify is the Virtual Assistant you never knew you needed. Over half a million shops run through Shopify and have sold more than $46 billion dollars worth of merchandise. You’d be in some rather good company if you chose to set up your online store and conduct eCommerce with Shopify. The site even lets you set up staff accounts when your business grows and your staff enlarges.

  With today’s platforms, it is more daring and possible to create the online store of your dreams and begin to sell your wares and offer your services in a global marketplace. Consider your niche and how you wish to present yourself to your customer when choosing a platform. Your online store is just the beginning of an entrepreneurial enterprise. Go into with gusto and a little bit of moxie. Using an online eCommerce site to maximize your exposure and streamline your operations will make all the difference in the amount and kind of success you reach.

Scroll down to the end of this post to download the Goonies party printables: Hey You Guys banner, cupcake toppers, water bottle labels, and movie quote signs. 

Despite trying/wanting/praying to get my life organized and start off 2017 with grace and efficiency, I stumbled into February in a state of panic because Valentine’s Day parties and treats and crafts for 3 kids AND all 3 kids’ birthdays within a 5 day period on the middle of February. 😫 Somehow, I managed to pull it all off without DYING or killing anyone, although once all the madness was over, I did spend an entire day on the couch watching mindless television (AKA Law and Order marathon).

So with 2 boys turning 8 and a little girl turning 5, trying to think of a theme that would appease all 3 kids was my first challenge. The boys are all about Legos and Star Wars and the Avengers, while my daughter is obsessed with My Little Pony and (unfortunately) Shopkins. However, they miraculously agreed on a Goonies themed party because GOOOOONIES!!! That, and my daughter adores Cyndi Lauper (because who doesn’t), and she loves the Good Enough music video at the end of the movie. ;-)

As with all birthday parties, invitations are key! They get (kids and parents) excited for the party, and they set the stage for what’s to come. A couple years ago with the boys’ 6th birthday party, the lightsaber invitations were such a huge hit with the kids. Several of the kids brought their lightsaber invitations to the party with them.

I would have loved to create a rolled up treasure map for the invitation, but that would have been difficult to send out in the mail. Luckily, the design of the treasure map used in the movie is actually meant to be folded, so here’s what I put together:

These fit perfectly in a 5×7 invitation envelope, so it was ideal for mailing. I would have loved to add some music notes to the top of the back of the map, but with irregular shape of the map, I thought it would be too much work to figure out the placement for double sided printing. My handy dandy Silhouette Cameo cut the invitations to shape so I didn’t have to sit and hand-cut each of them like I did back in the day with the lightsaber invitations.

With the invitations sent out, I had several weeks to plan the party, but in the meantime, I also had to make 3 Valentine’s mailboxes, 78 classroom Valentine’s cards/goodies, plus the usual 592 loads of laundry/week and the CONSTANT EATING!!! (It really does feel like meal prep is an endless cycle in this house!)

So pretty much the week before Valentine’s Day and birthday party, I had a panic attack and had to crank out all the decorations, the party favors, and the treats. We kept food and party activity simple by calling it a “movie night” party and popping in the blu-ray to (hopefully) appease the children, and serving up hamburgers and hot dogs for dinner. Luckily, my brother-in-law is our resident grill master, and he had no problems with manning the grill during the party.

As a side note, I rewatched Goonies a few weeks ago to get some inspiration for the party, and I was worried that there was too much cursing and general inappropriateness for 5 and 8 year olds, but my husband told me I was overthinking (as per usual). He insisted that pretty much every parent had seen the movie as a kid, and if they didn’t think the movie was appropriate, they wouldn’t let their kid come anyway, so I didn’t need to worry. And (as per usual), he was right. No one said a thing, and parents were so engrossed in the movie themselves that I think they may have forgotten that they had even brought their kids to the party! By the end of the evening as the movie ended, the parents and my boys were pretty much the only people still staring at the TV. Most of the other kids had run off to play, which was fine–as long as everyone had a good time!

Here’s how the party worked out:

I just happened to have a few decorative skulls laying around from an unfinished craft project, so those worked perfectly for decor. I cut an eyepatch out of black felt for One-Eyed Willie and threw on a kid’s pirate costume hat. For other table decor items, I used some copper Moscow Mule mugs that I already had and some silver wine goblets that I picked up at Salvation Army for $2. I also purchased some beads from Oriental Trading Company, but I should have just gone to Dollar Tree because I found better beads for way cheaper ($1). Lesson learned. I also happened to have a copper pot (Chester Copperpot, get it? Get it? Hahaha!) that I put on the table as well.

Also, with this party, I decided to save some money by not ordering a cake. I was spoiled when we lived in Korea because there were some amazingly talented bakers/cake decorators/military spouses who baked out of their homes and offered beautiful artistic creations for very affordable prices. As I discovered, the same in not the case anymore! A single-layer half sheet cake with some plastic pirate decorations was going to run me at least $45, and quite honestly, I don’t think I would have been happy after the amazing cakes the kids had in Korea. My solution was to bake a billion cupcakes! It worked out for us because each of the kids wanted different flavors, and as a parent, I actually prefer cupcakes because they’re small. Cupcakes are exceedingly easy to bake and decorate, especially if you use cupcake toppers, so that worked out well for me. I baked all the cupcakes the night before the party, then whipped up the icing and decorated them just before the party started.

I recently discovered a recipe for a whipped cream cheese icing, and being a lover of cream cheese icing in general, I had to try it out. It is simply DIVINE. It whipped up beautifully, and despite being a bit concerned that the icing wouldn’t hold its shape if it sat at room temperature for too long, the heavy whipping cream did its job.

Since we didn’t have a cake, I purchased 3 small cake stands from Target so each of the kids could have their own little stand of cupcakes. When it cake time to sing them happy birthday, the kids each had their own stand with the appropriate number of candles to blow out. Also, as party favors, I made each of the kids a One-Eyed Willie t-shirt that they received when they arrived. Most of the party-goers were excited about their pirate shirts. There were a couple of hold-outs, but it was pretty cute to see all the kids running around with the same shirt on.

In addition to the cupcakes, I made Rocky Road treats (just marshmallows dipped in melted chocolate, then dipped in crushed walnuts), and I had some Baby Ruth bars, Hershey’s Gold Nuggets, and chocolate gold coins to round out the treat table.

I had also intended to make pirate ships with food boats filled with popcorn for the movie night portion of the party, but I had some logistical issues with getting the sails to stand upright in the food boat. The night before the party, I figured it would take far more time than I had to make each individual boat, so sadly I had to let go of that one.

And that just about wraps up the decorative elements of the party! Oh wait… I also decorated myself! ;-) HEY YOU GUYS!!!

Various printables are available here to download and print for free for your PERSONAL USE ONLY. Click on the thumbnail to open the high resolution image. Right-click the high-res image to download.

PRINTING TIPS:

Use 110lb card stock for signs, banners, cupcake toppers, and thank you cards.

For the water bottle labels, regular printer paper or everyday quality photo paper will work. However, it’s best to not pre-chill your water bottles or the condensation from the bottles being set at room temperature will ruin the ink and paper.

For the water cup stickers, use sticker paper.

Set your printer to “Letter Borderless” and Best Quality. Images should print at 100% scale.

For best results, use a 2 inch circle punch for the Rocky Road toppers and the Goonies Never Say Die toppers. Use a 2.5 inch circle punch for the It’s Wet Ain’t It stickers. A paper trimmer is recommended for the straight edges of the banner, the quote signs, and the thank you card.

The Rise of Responsible Gold Sourcing

Gold has captivated humanity for millennia. Its beauty, durability, and rarity have made it a symbol of wealth, power, and status. But for many modern consumers, the question of origin is becoming increasingly important. Where does our gold come from, and how is it mined and processed?

Traditional Gold Sourcing: A Look Behind the Curtain

Traditionally, gold is mined from large-scale mines. This process can have a significant environmental impact, including deforestation, water pollution, and soil degradation. Additionally, some mining operations have been linked to human rights abuses and unsafe working conditions.

The Rise of Responsible Gold Sourcing

As consumers become more conscious of the environmental and social impact of their purchases, the demand for responsibly sourced gold is growing. Responsible gold sourcing ensures that gold is obtained through ethical and sustainable practices. This includes:

Fairtrade practices: Ensuring miners are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions.

Environmental responsibility: Minimizing the environmental impact of mining operations through practices like using less water and employing responsible waste management.

Transparency: Knowing the exact origin of the gold and being able to trace its journey from mine to finished product.

Benefits of Responsible Gold Sourcing

There are several benefits to choosing responsibly sourced gold:

Peace of mind: Knowing your gold hasn’t contributed to environmental damage or human rights abuses.

Supporting ethical practices: Your purchase sends a message that you value ethical sourcing in the gold industry.

Investment potential: Responsibly sourced gold is becoming increasingly sought after, potentially making it a more valuable investment in the long run.

How to Find Responsibly Sourced Gold

Several organizations certify gold that meets responsible sourcing standards. Look for jewelry brands and bullion dealers that partner with these organizations, such as:

The Fairtrade Foundation The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) The Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM)

By asking questions and seeking out certified products, you can make informed choices about the gold you buy.

Gold continues to hold a special place in our world. By choosing responsibly sourced gold, you can ensure your love for this precious metal goes hand-in-hand with a commitment to a more sustainable and ethical future.
