The rise of e-commerce has made online transactions one of the most important modes of trade today. Transparent product information, competitive pricing, and convenient payment and delivery services have attracted large numbers of consumers to shop online, while also encouraging many entrepreneurs to enter the e-commerce sector. However, significant differences exist between the e-commerce environments in Taiwan and mainland China. Due to variations in external conditions and internal resources, platforms on both sides of the strait have gradually developed distinct business models. Given the differing development paths and consumer behaviors, this study aims to examine the marketing strategies adopted by Taiwanese brands when entering the Chinese market and to understand consumers’acceptance and adaptation. This research employs literature analysis to outline the development of e-commerce in mainland China and identify the constraints and challenges Taiwanese brands face. A case study approach is further applied, incorporating in-depth interviews with corporate representatives and consumers to investigate marketing practices on the Taobao platform. Interviews with businesses focus on brand management and strategic adjustments, while consumer interviews explore shopping behaviors and user experiences, forming a two-way comparative perspective. The findings indicate that Taiwanese brands possess advantages such as positive product quality perception and cultural similarity, yet are relatively disadvantaged in large-scale promotional resources, platform algorithm adaptation, and cross-border logistics services. Meanwhile, consumers generally hold favorable impressions of Taiwanese brands but place high value on price competitiveness, delivery efficiency, and after-sales service. The analysis suggests that Taiwanese brands must enhance technological adaptation to platform marketing systems, strengthen localized communication, and establish cross-border logistics partnerships, while leveraging cultural elements and differentiated positioning to increase brand recognition. The conclusions and recommendations of this study may serve as a reference for Taiwanese brands seeking to enter the Chinese e-commerce market, assisting them in responding to local market characteristics and improving operational performance and competitiveness. |
