Traditional marketing is irreplaceable for two reasons: first, the Internet penetration rate is
still less than 40% now in China and people have not fully adapted to informatization on
lifestyle, work pattern, values, etc.; second, consumers desire to buy is more likely to be
stimulated by vivid ads displayed on TV, broadcast, etc.
With development of online marketing, the shortcomings of traditional marketing are
becoming more and more obvious: (1) advertising expense is immense. Taking TV ads as
an example, these ads are usually charged by second with a little adjustment and
discount according to audience rating and coverage of programs. It is learned that the
price of ads displayed in Night News in CCTV-1 is 122,000 Yuan/5 seconds; (2)
audiences are unable to be accurately targeted. It usually covers all audiences which will
result in waste of resource; (3) limited by region, the information that it deliveries usually
cant reach all targeted audiences; (4) the marketing effect is difficult to be evaluated.
Advertisers are unable to distinguish the consumers who decide to buy because of their
ads.

Fig. 2-2 Structure of China E-retail Advertisers Online Marketing Expenses 2010-2016
In 2012, advertisers among independent e-retail operators spent 5.17 billion Yuan on
advertising on traditional Internet media such as search engines, portals, etc., excluding
internal marketing on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, while in 2010 and 2011, the
number was 1.46 billion Yuan and 3.45 billion Yuan respectively.
Among independent e-retail operators, Taobao and JD took the lead by GMV, and the
proportion of marketing expenses in GMV was less than 2%, which kept declining. The
proportion of marketing expenses of B2C enterprises was basically from 5% to 15% and it
would be a little high for medium and small B2C enterprises in early development stage.
Because of the boom in independent B2C enterprises and group purchase sites in around
2010 which stimulated online marketing and fewer Advertisers at that moment, the growth
rate of independent e-retail operators expenses on online marketing all exceeded 100%
before 2012.
Since 2012, e-retail operators began to reduce expenses on marketing, so the growth
decelerated. However, as there were a large number of medium and small e-retail
operators with comparatively low customer loyalty and online marketing was always a
necessary part in their routine operation, the proportion of online marketing expenses
remained stable. On the whole, the growth rate of independent e-retail operators online
marketing expenses stood at 49.9% in 2012, a little higher than that of the whole online
marketing market (46.8%).

Yuan respectively in 2010 and 2011.
Searchthere were 6 million vendors on Taobaoamong which at least 500,000 vendors
(flagship stores, individual vendors, etc.) would need online marketing. In large online
shopping systems like Taobao with massive commodities and participants, the
commercial value of vertical search would be highlighted.

and 23.31 million UV per day on Taobao and Tmall respectivelyaccounting for 92.9%

The revenue brought by Advertisers to Internet media was increasing gradually. The
proportion of Advertisers online marketing expenses in revenue of the whole online
advertising market was respectively 15.3% and 29.7% in 2010 and 2012 and was even
projected to be 36.9% in 2016.
iResearch attributes the special status of Advertisers among Internet advertisers to
following reasons: (1) e-retail industry is still in rapid development phase and the market
pattern has not been determined yet. Besides, the competition between medium and
small B2C companies and flagship stores on e-retail platforms are very fierce, so there is
continuous demand on marketing from Advertisers. Since online marketing can increase
sales rapidly, e-retail operators want to use it to expand and maintain their market shares;
12
(2) besides routine sales, e-retail operators also maintain their brands through online
marketing. Just as traditional retailers, e-retail operators also promote at their annual
celebrations and holidays, during which they will certainly use online marketing to create
some brand effect; (3) e-retail operators consumers are online shoppers and other
Internet users, so Advertisers are all related with Internet. Comparing with traditional
retailers, they are more inclined to online marketing.
In addition, Advertisers were paying more and more attention on online marketing, but the
growth was fairly smooth. iResearch thinks that there are two reasons for the growth. First,
more Advertisers and especially more traditional enterprises which commenced their
e-commerce would result in more expenses on marketing, and second, more advertisers
from diversified industries pushed up marketing expenses, even in regular marketing
period. However, since marketing is a part of e-retail operators routine operation, the
expenses will be reduced gradually and there wont be significant rise in its proportion in
e-retail operators total sales.

5. Case Study
After crazy growth in number of Advertisers and rise in media ads price in 2010 and 2011,
e-retail operators marketing proceeded comparatively well in 2012. Except for ads on

Advertisers who pay attention to both brand marketing and effect marketing usually adopt
diversified marketing models, such as social marketing, SEM, ads on clients, etc. There
are two kinds of indicators for measurement of ads effect. One kind includes UV, number
of posts/review/reply, exposure and click, which are determined according to different
media, and another kind includes orders, sales, ROI and conversion rate. The case is
shown below:

iResearchs Comments
The success of this case lies in its promotion/propaganda activities carried out through
various channels/ways, which created widest coverage and participation of audiences.
The climax one after another brought by different phases of the activity can be referenced
by other advertisers.

communicating and interaction. By this means, the polularity and influence of the site was
enhanced rapidly. With more visitors to the site, consumption was promoted naturally.

Similar to number of visits, JD also obtained the most orders on the first day, which was
4.6 times of that on the day before the promotion. iResearch analyzed that the sharp
increase of orders was brought by the massive discounts on various commodities which

On June 18, 2012, the number of Tmalls orders also climbed to the peak and was much
more than usual. iResearch analyzed that online shoppers were still interested in price
discount and were active in such promotion. They hoped to buy commodities with the red
packets that they got a few days ago and the diversified commodities on Tmall could
basically satisfy their demand, so there was a surge of orders.
