Our approach
How we would start
in Hong Kong.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Hong Kong’s customers are busy local residents, mainland and international visitors, and trading companies that buy and sell across Asia. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in Hong Kong pay — cards, FPS and digital wallets — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Chinese New Year, the summer sales and the Christmas period are key, and trade fairs bring business buyers in spring and autumn. The store is live and tested well before then.
