I've never seen this before! Spittoons are sold for $61 on Amazon! It turns out that so many Chinese products are popular overseas

Product selection is the first and most important step in achieving explosive sales. It has always been a big problem for most sellers.

A seller once joked that choosing products is more difficult than choosing a partner . When choosing a partner, you can tolerate his shortcomings and infinitely magnify his advantages because of love, but when it comes to product selection, everyone is very "greedy" , always thinking about large market capacity, high profit margins, few competitors, and easy-to-operate products.

However, sometimes, it takes more than just hard work in product selection to become popular. Luck is also needed. Recently, a sharp-eyed netizen discovered that our Chinese spittoon unexpectedly became popular overseas and was given a new identity.

It can be seen that sulfur soap is also a treasure for foreigners. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased people's attention to health , and people are scrambling to buy products that can disinfect, sterilize and protect . Shanghai sulfur soap has therefore taken advantage of this opportunity and become popular overseas.

Talking about the obvious increase in people's attention to health, the editor remembered Ma Yinglong, which triggered a buying frenzy in the United States as soon as it was put on the shelves and was snapped up by foreigners.

The Gospel of the American People Ma Yinglong

In a street interview, a foreign student was asked by a reporter, "Which Chinese products do you want to bring back to China? Why?" He answered without hesitation, "Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Cream. It is the best medicine in the world!"

There are more than one foreign student who share the same idea. "The moment I used Mayinglong, I felt a cool sensation rushing to my head. It was so comfortable." Annie, an American student from Beijing Language and Culture University, happily described to reporters how comfortable she felt after using Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Cream. The persistent and unbearable pain caused by hemorrhoids disappeared, and she strongly recommended it to her family and friends in the United States.

On Amazon, six Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Suppositories, as shown in the picture above , cost $15.8 , while in China, six pills cost about 7 yuan , a price difference of nearly 20 times ! Even so, the American people are still chasing after Mayinglong.

The editor read the comments of American netizens on Ma Yinglong. In their eyes, Ma Yinglong is a blessing to mankind .

"Ma Yinglong is the gospel of mankind ", "The person who invented this thing should win the Nobel Prize ", "Life is once again filled with a thing called light". These comments with unique but straightforward and vivid writing style triggered a craze among the American people to buy Ma Yinglong. Ma Yinglong became an "Internet celebrity " without any warning.

In fact, it is not surprising that Mayinglong has become popular in the United States. In our country, there is a saying that "nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids" and "ten out of ten women have hemorrhoids", which is also applicable in the United States. According to statistics from the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons in 2015, the prevalence of hemorrhoids in the United States is 16 million , and more than half of the population over 50 years old have had hemorrhoid problems. Therefore, Mayinglong's popularity in the United States is also in line with the development of the times.

If Mayinglong is the American people's favorite Chinese product, then Orolay's down jackets are the American people's favorite Chinese product in winter.

Chinese down jackets are selling like hot cakes on Amazon

When it comes to down jacket brands, most people's first reaction may be Canada Goose and Bosideng, but for Amazon sellers, Orolay, known as the "Amazon Down Jacket", has already captured the North American market.

In 2018, the Orolay women's thickened down jacket, priced at $139.99 (about 940 yuan), was listed on the best-seller list of Amazon, the world's largest e-commerce retail giant, and ranked first in sales among products in the same category . Orolay has been the sales champion of Amazon's women's down jackets and coats for two consecutive years, occupying almost all American women's wardrobes and being called the "Amazon coat" .

The success of Orolay is closely related to its product selection. The head of Orolay once said in an interview with the media, "Most down jackets and coats in North America emphasize the waterproofness of the fabric and the diversity of functions, but lack fashion. For this reason, Orolay focuses on clothing design and injects fashion elements into its products ."

Orolay stands out from the competition of warm/cold-proof clothing with its novel design. In addition to its novel design, Orolay's success is inseparable from a very important factor - price . Due to the extremely cold weather and blizzards, most of the United States has become an ice cellar. Compared with Canada Goose, which costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars , Orolay, which is good quality and cheap, has naturally become the first choice for American women.

Orolay down jackets, priced between $129 and $139, perfectly meet the needs of market development. Their advantages of good quality and low price have won the favor of American women and made them the top-selling down jacket on Amazon.

Chinese products going overseas need more strategies and confidence

In recent years, more and more Chinese products have successfully exported to overseas markets. The fundamental reason for the success of Shanghai Sulfur Soap, Mayinglong and Orolay down jackets overseas is that they follow the development of the times and seize the opportunities of the times . They use products to successfully hit the pain points of users and accurately grasp the psychology of users.

More domestic products want to go overseas. In addition to strategy , mentality is also very important . We should be more confident about domestic products. In the past, we used to call foreign products "foreign goods", and corresponding to the "foreign" of foreign products, domestic products implied "local". This potential contrast reflects the Chinese people's stereotypes about domestic products.

From another perspective, isn’t our “rustic” exactly what foreigners are looking for? The reason why spittoons are so popular is because they are curious and different. The unique shape, strange introduction and “exotic style” have successfully attracted users who like to be different and show their individuality.
