1. Exclusive Partnership & Flagship Presence
We secured and operated the official flagship store for EGO Pharmaceuticals and its hero brand QV on JD.com—China’s leading B2C eCommerce platform. The exclusivity enabled consistent brand messaging, pricing control, and high-quality consumer experiences.
2. B2B Distribution & Platform Expansion
In parallel, we built a multi-platform wholesale strategy across VIP.com and JD.com’s wholesale arms. This dual-channel model maximised reach while safeguarding the brand’s dermatological positioning and retail pricing integrity.
3. Long-Term Representation & Execution
Over a 3-year engagement, we led full-service operations—covering regulatory compliance, logistics, pricing strategy, and day-to-day store management. The result was sustainable sales growth and a consistent, professional brand presence in-market.
4. Strategic Positioning in the Beauty & Health Category
We crafted category-specific messaging to position QV as a science-backed, dermatologist-recommended brand, differentiated from mass-market beauty competitors. This resonated strongly with Chinese consumers seeking trust and efficacy in skincare.
Outcome
Through exclusive distribution rights, long-term partnership, and careful brand stewardship, we built a defensible market position for Ego Pharmaceuticals. QV now competes confidently in China’s premium skincare segment, supported by strong sales fundamentals and a compliant operational backbone.
