2018 JD.com "618" promotion gameplay revealed

2018 JD.com "618" promotion gameplay revealed
This year's " JD 618 " event is quite "new". JD will connect all fans of merchants' stores and WeChat public accounts , so that merchants can accurately operate their fans in private domains and achieve high conversions . Not only that, businesses that operate well in the private domain can also be displayed in the public domain.

The specific situation is as follows:

JD.com stores are directly connected with WeChat

In April this year, JD.com announced that the Kepler Light Mall mini program for the WeChat platform was officially launched. It can quickly generate a platform with one click and complete the release of the mini program within 1 day at the fastest. The way JD.com plays 618 this time is to use Kepler to generate a mini program that can be linked to the user's JD.com account.

JD.com's move is equivalent to connecting all merchants' stores with WeChat.

In this way, three-party identification of JD store fan accounts, fan WeChat accounts and brand merchant WeChat subscription account fans can be achieved, connecting JD store fans and WeChat public account fans.

Under this model, merchants can conduct targeted layered operations and precise private domain operations based on different fan attributes.

Private domain operation, public domain display

When merchants conduct content marketing in private domains, high-quality content will be automatically captured and presented in the public domain based on UV value. The presentation locations include JD Discovery Channel, content display positions in various special channels, and content display positions in the "golden process" of consumer shopping, which can achieve the connection between the public domain and the private domain.

Off-site traffic , on-site conversion

In addition to encouraging merchants to conduct private domain content marketing , JD.com is also implementing the "Donglian Plan". The Donglian Plan is to unite major brands that sell on JD.com and include joint exposure of JD.com and brands in the advertisements placed by the brands. JD.com will provide page resource replacement of corresponding value, and direct traffic to the brand’s flagship store, event page or strong column on JD.com.
Simply put, merchants can add monitoring links in shopping guide articles on WeChat public accounts, iQiyi short video promotions , Tencent video live broadcasts , Toutiao and other information platforms, and direct traffic to JD.com's internal channels , including App, M pages, PC pages, etc., and then they can obtain bonuses according to different modes such as CPA, CPS, CPT, etc.

Discounts between self-operated and third-party stores

During the previous 618 mid-year promotion, JD.com’s own-operated stores’ discount promotions were not interoperable with third-party stores. This time, JD.com directly connected the two and realized mutual discounts on goods for the first time.

What kind of businesses have opportunities this year?

This year, JD.com requires merchants to highlight popular products at the product level, add scene labels to products, and maintain product information in a timely manner. Because this year JD.com is taking the route of "one thousand faces for one thousand people", not only will it achieve one thousand faces for one thousand people at the main venue of 618, but it will also provide personalized display on mobile terminals.

Regarding the situation of the store itself, JD.com also requires the store to steadily improve its DSR score and the number of store fans.

In terms of traffic distribution, JD.com takes the "horse racing" route. Merchants who sign up for 618 must compete in the competition and can only advance to the main venue if they meet the targets.

The main venue is divided into third-level venues, second-level venues, first-level venues, and even main venue resource display positions according to the level of traffic resources.

The most important evaluation indicator of the "horse racing" mechanism is the merchant's sales volume.

618 Schedule

JD.com's "618" promotion will start on May 23rd with a super-value pre-order event, and will enter the site for preheating in advance; JD.com's 618 special promotion will start on June 1st:

From June 1 to June 6, JD.com will hold a special 3C event, including computers, SLR cameras, mobile phones and other digital products;

From June 7 to June 9, there is a special sale for home appliances, with large appliances discounted by up to 50%;

From June 10 to June 13, there is a special event for JD Supermarket, which is suitable for family shopping;

From June 14th to June 17th, there will be a promotion for homewares.

June 18th to June 20th is the encore period, also known as Liu Qiangdong 's Lao Liu special finale.

What marketing activities are there?

JD.com provides merchants with multiple marketing activities such as PLUS DAY, Super Flash Sale Day, Super Coupon Day, Super Fan Day, Super Brand Day, Group Shopping Day, and Full Discount Day, all of which are now open for investment and registration. There are two entry requirements for the event:

The first is the DSR score. Merchants in different categories have different DSR store score thresholds. The top 80% of merchants in each secondary category are qualified to participate in JD platform activities during the 618 period;

The second is the number of fans of the merchant store. This requirement is only limited to certain marketing activities, such as Super Fan Day.

Other situations
In addition to the above situations, JD.com also encourages merchants to cooperate with JD Logistics. For example, use JD warehouse to ship goods, submit warehousing plans, make order quantity forecasts, ensure accurate inventory, and make reserves with multiple cooperative express companies based on the predicted order volume, and communicate logistics emergency plans during the promotion period in advance.

Conclusion
Every June has become an important node that e-commerce websites cannot ignore. The mid-year shopping festival conforms to the cycles and patterns of fluctuations in retail market demand. There is a time difference between the 618 and Double Eleven promotional activities, which evenly distributes e-commerce marketing activities without overdrawing consumers' purchasing power. Last year, the cumulative order amount of JD.com’s 618 National Mid-Year Shopping Festival reached 119.9 billion yuan, which was an impressive achievement. JD.com's fashion division, which was not very optimistic, also achieved good results.

I hope all merchants will also achieve good results in this year’s 618!
