Join us for a workshop on how to use Alipay to attract more customers during the upcoming Chinese New Year season.

To welcome the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year festivities throughout January and Early February, Cambridge China Center is providing a special workshop to enable retail and hospitality businesses to increase their income from Chinese tourists and residents during that period. The workshop is especially suited for tourism and hospitality business covering:

• Evolving trends in Chinese consumption;
• How to effectively market products to Chinese tourists;
• What kind of discount information can attract Chinese tourists;
• City-wide ‘Red Packet’ promotions.

Be part of the excitement generated by the Chinese New Year ‘RED PACKET’ redemption campaign.

Alipay is proving Chinese New Year ‘RED PACKET’ incentives globally to all Alipay users who scan the QR Code (customers are awarded a random amount by Alipay, from £1 to £330 per user scan).

The exciting news is that merchants connected with Alipay that promote the ‘RED PACKET’ QR Code get as much commission as customers’ incentive with every user scan!

Drop-in on the first Saturday of February and join us for activities and art-making on the theme of Chinese New Year. Organised in collaboration with Fitzwilliam Museum. Activities include:

Storytelling
Staff from the Cambridge China Centre will be sharing exciting stories of the Jade Emperor’s Great Race, where the order of animals in the Chinese zodiac was decided, and how to scare away “Nian the Monster” if he comes by your house on the eve of the lunar new year.  Expect a lively narrator, musical accompaniment and a little audience participation.

Art activity: Chinese lanterns
Be part of a 2000-year old tradition and make a beautiful Chinese lantern. Traditionally placed in windows or hung in public, they are thought to bring good fortune (and scare away Nian the Monster).

Art activity: Paper cutting
A folk art that uses one of China’s greatest gifts to the world…paper! Paper-cutting has existed since the sixth century and is known for its intricate designs and creative use of negative space. Today’s project will allow visitors to take part in an annual decorating tradition.
