Join us for a workshop on understanding the evolving Chinese consumption trend and how to reach out the Chinese tourists and residents.

With 6000+ Chinese residents in Cambridge and increasing numbers of Chinese tourists visiting Cambridge every day, getting the attention of Chinese shoppers is an increasingly important way to attract more potential incomes to your business.

This 90 minutes’ workshop will equip Cambridge colleges and organizations in retail and tourism sectors necessary knowledge and skills for working with Chinese visiting groups/tourists. The workshop will cover essential areas including:

• The evolving Chinese consumption trends
• Using the Alipay App
• Spread Coupon App (for liaising with tour operators)
• ‘Cambridge Promotions & What’s On’ Broadcasting

Alipay: How to use your app to make attractive advertisements.

This event will include a workshop on building Alipay advertisements. Attendees are encouraged to bring a smartphone loaded with the Alipay app and we will go through all of the steps to create an eye-catching add that Alipay-using visitors will see on their phones when they come to Cambridge. We will show examples of good (and bad) advertisements and help everyone feel more confident to craft their own Alipay adds and plan how to connect with Chinese customers.

The workshop cost is £12. Members of Cambridge China Centre enjoy discounted prices by logging in before purchasing their tickets.
