Emailing in China: The One Thing You Need to Know

It’s obvious that emailing has become a fairly essential marketing tool. Email marketing enables businesses to build up a relationship with their customers (which has proven to be effective in this country), as well as enable customers to provide valuable feedback to the brand. Emailing is one of the main ways in which we communicate with other people, and by 2020 we’re predicted to be using at least 35 trillion emails in our lives! But there’s a problem.

China is very different from the rest of the world. With the cultural differences, emailing can be a tricky business. At Young Entrepreneur Council, we’re very concerned about this issue and wanted to pass some advice our way to you.
