In the wave of global trade digitization, B2B international trading companies are facing three core challenges:
Traffic fragmentation: Users of social platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram are scattered, and traditional advertising costs are high. According to Statista data, overseas social media advertising CPM (cost per thousand impressions) will increase by 28% year-on-year in 2024, and the pressure on customer acquisition for international trading companies will increase sharply.
Trust is difficult to build: Online communication lacks physical endorsement, resulting in long customer decision-making cycles and low conversion rates. It takes an average of 7-12 interactions for B2B customers from first contact to sale, far more than 3-5 interactions for B2C.
Customers are prone to churn: The traditional form-based customer follow-up efficiency is low, and owned audiences such as WhatsApp mobile phone numbers cannot be effectively accumulated. Some customers have reported to us that the conversion rate of traditional forms is only 3% – 5%, and 70% of customers who retain money are not followed up within 3 days.
