Chinese Brand Localisation Services
Chinese social media and Western social media are very different. A Chinese consumer may not perceive your brand in the same way it’s reflected on Facebook and Instagram. It’s important to have the look and ethos of your brand professionally ‘translated’ in China to keep your branding in line with your brand story. We can professionally translate taglines and logos as well as look at the overall brand positioning and give advice on any changes that may be needed for your China campaigns.
Translation, Listing and Brochure Design
Translation is one of the most important factors in your marketing to China. Bad translation can ruin a brand as the Chinese consumers will see this as a negative and create a disconnect. Good translation flows and tells a story which connects with your consumers to build trust. Our in-house team of professional translators know your products and brand ethos and this creates a consistent brand story across all media in China.
We can also design and print your marketing flyers and posters at a competitive price. Looking for listing designs? Our in house design team will work with you to create your listing designs and make them look informative and enticing to drive your sales online.

Daigou Marketing
Part of AU Life’s strategy is to utilise the Daigou market. We have over 30,000 Daigou located in Australia who are members of our platforms. This means we can multiply a brands reach in China by using these mini distributors to share content and drive sales. Daigou are incentivised by profit and our integrated referral system on our platforms allows our Daigou to seamlessly earn commission on sales which creates a win-win situation for brands and Daigou.
KOL Influencer Marketing
Influencers in China are called KOLs (key opinion leaders) . They are highly regarded by consumers and will follow their favorite KOLs and most importantly listen to their opinions and more than likely buy the products they recommend. AU Life has a catalogue of KOLs we can utilise to promote your products to the right audience to drive sales.
AU Life provides a catalogue of domestic and China based KOLs across all categories such as:
- Food and beverage
- Mum and baby
- Skincare and cosmetics
- Lifestyle
- Pets
- Travel
Live Streaming
Live-Streaming is one way to boost exposure effectively without breaking the bank. In the West we have no idea how popular the ‘Live-Streaming’ concept really is in China and can only compare it to the old ‘shopping channels’ which were popular in the 90’s. As many other platforms in China ‘Live-Streaming’ has morphed into a whole new concept which is efficient and targeted to the masses.
AU Life provides brands with regular live streaming sessions with TaoBao KOLs (influencers). This results in sales and builds trust with the consumers in China.
