JU Marketing’s Strengths
E-Commerce Service List
Market Research
To succeed in e-commerce, it is imperative to have a deep understanding of the market trends, consumer preferences, popular products, competitors, and legal regulations in Japan and regions. JU Marketing primarily conducts thorough research and analysis of the market on search engines to provide these insights. This enables us to accurately identify the potential and volume of the market where your products or services will be deployed.
Native-level in Japanese
When targeting the Japanese market, it is crucial that the Japanese language used on e-commerce sites is accurate and natural. Attention to cultural nuances and region-specific expressions is also important, necessitating effective localization. JU Marketing utilizes native-level proficiency in Japanese to professionally support content creation for your e-commerce sites.
Optimal Marketing Selection
SEO, SNS, Online Advertising
To facilitate smooth e-commerce operations, JU Marketing devises meticulous online marketing strategies, offering timely and optimal solutions. We intensify Japanese SEO measures, implementing strategies to increase visitors through search engines and Google Shopping. Moreover, we leverage social media networks like Meta (Facebook, Instagram), X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok to enhance the visibility of your products or services. Depending on the situation, we also engage in aggressive promotional activities using online advertising platforms.
Managing Customer Reviews
Customer reviews play a crucial role in acquiring new clients. It’s essential to respond with gratitude to positive reviews and address negative ones by taking steps toward resolving issues, thereby enhancing credibility and customer satisfaction. JU Marketing handles online review management on your behalf and continually proposes appropriate response strategies to you.
Selecting the E-commerce Platform
Embarking on e-commerce requires strategic decisions, especially in areas such as logistics, CRM, and marketing automation (MA). Starting everything from scratch isn’t always the most cost-effective or efficient path due to potential resource constraints and delayed market entry. We strategically identify the most suitable platform for your specific needs, considering factors such as budget, the nature of your products or services, and geographical nuances. Our goal is to propose the ideal e-commerce solution that is precisely aligned with your business requirements and market strategies.
Payment Management
Navigating e-commerce requires understanding Japanese financial practices and offering diverse payment options. By choosing the right e-commerce platform, businesses can easily manage global transactions, including various credit card payments. These platforms facilitate the straightforward handling of funds, from receipt to bank transfer. JU Marketing provides comprehensive, hassle-free support for all aspects of these financial processes.
International Logistics
To ensure efficient delivery of e-commerce orders to Japan, establishing a suitable international shipping strategy is key. It’s essential to provide customers with transparent details about tariffs, taxes, shipping fees, delivery timelines, and return policies. Contemporary e-commerce platforms facilitate the effective management of these logistics aspects. At JU Marketing, we provide in-depth assistance with these configurations, contributing to the seamless operation of your business.
