Do you deliver to Hong Kong?
Often when you go to Spain you think ‘I could live here and update my sites from my laptop’. Forgetting the fact that you can’t see the screen for the sun glare.
Well I had one of those moments whilst drinking a nice chilled cider at the Waterfront pub on Lamma Island, Hong Kong. I was taking advantage of the free wifi and one afternoon quietly updated my site whilst overlooking the sea.
And I was thinking this is the life. At the time it was too hot at 34 degrees and it was an ideal time to do a bit of work until the sun cooled later in the afternoon.
Just as I was wondering if I could replicate my Shop Codes site for the Hong Kong market, I received a message from Stefan Janssens of YesAsia. Via Facebook, he offered me the chance of a meeting and company visit.
I didn’t take up the offer as it was approaching the end of my holiday but I did some small research on the shopping habits and spends of the people of Hong Kong.
So YesAsia was strongly in my mind for one of the shops I could promote for that market. I also thought designer petwear would be a good type of product to market because they do love their dogs on Lamma Island.
Then when I returned from holiday, Webgains announced the launch of YesStyle.com and Stefan kindly set me up with an Exclusive code.
All I needed now was a domain and I acquired Shop Codes HK last week.
So, that’s where I’m at. I won’t be launching the site fully until my other developments are in place. In the meantime, there is a holding page and a sign-up form for my RSS feed.
Now all I need to research is which merchants deliver to Hong Kong and this is where I want your help. If you’re a merchant that targets or delivers to Hong Kong, I’d like to know.
You can either post comments here or send me an email message via the affiliate network channels.
I’m interested to know what the delivery charges are for instance.
This project may or may not be a success. Ultimately I believe it will be if I do put the time and effort into it. I am buoyed though by the recent sales I’ve made for the German market.
It’s interesting that you are looking to market in China. The merchants I represent are based in China and Taiwan, so we’re doing things in the other direction.
You’ll find that to be competitive, many of the companies retailing in China have a remarkably low price to China and Taiwan as most western retailers obtain their products from China and Taiwan. A bit like coals to Newcastle.
We’ll be retailing that way sometime next year but for now we’re chasing the more lucrative western markets.
Feel free to drop me a pm on the forum.
