1. Market Entry Strategy & eCommerce Launch
To drive visibility and rapid adoption, we launched CelebritySlim across China’s top direct-to-consumer channels—Tmall Global, JD.com, and VIP.com. Each platform was tailored with locally optimised messaging, storefront design, and merchandising strategies to suit Chinese consumer behaviour.
2. Promotions, Pricing & Peak Campaigns
We activated bundled promotions, time-limited discounts, and gift-with-purchase incentives to drive first-time trial. The 6.18 mid-year festival saw a sales peak of over 20,000 units in a single month, establishing strong category traction.
3. Influencer & Livestream Activation
CelebritySlim gained exposure and credibility through targeted influencer collaborations, livestream campaigns, and KOL promotions. Our ongoing presence on Taobao and Douyin amplified product awareness and drove conversion at scale.
4. Regulatory Alignment & Product Messaging
Operating in China’s highly regulated functional nutrition space, we refined CelebritySlim’s claims and packaging for local compliance. This ensured seamless customs clearance, trust-building with consumers, and long-term brand integrity in-market.
