1. The primary goal for any company, regardless of its size, age, or public status, is profitability. To achieve this, minimizing costs and maximizing returns is essential. Relying solely on substantial advertising investment is not a sustainable strategy. If products can be sold effectively without heavy advertising, that is perfectly viable and can still lead to brand establishment.
Are there companies that succeed without advertising? Yes, numerous examples exist. Huawei is one of them.
2. The founder of Jumei once remarked that during the company's earliest and most financially constrained phase, they achieved their highest profit margins. Limited resources forced them to be exceptionally meticulous and strategic—learning how to achieve tenfold results with minimal investment. The focus at that time was not on spending aggressively on advertisements, but on devising ways to maximize impact with minimal or even zero expenditure.
3. There are countless strategies for success on platforms like Taobao, Alibaba, or Baidu. Dominating the most prominent advertising spaces is not the only path to success. Consider this: those prime advertising spots are limited, yet Taobao has facilitated employment for millions. Finding the right niche for your business is what truly matters. Just as a vibrant flower is accompanied by green leaves and supported by other plants, a business ecosystem thrives on diversity and complementary roles.
An overreliance on financial muscle is not advisable. Recall that eBay, despite its greater resources, was surpassed by Taobao in the Chinese market.
To date, I have not encountered a brand built purely through massive advertising expenditure. While there are cases of integrated marketing or rebranding via acquisitions, none are purely ad-driven. Therefore, heavy spending alone cannot forge a brand. Sustained, stable, and significant profitability is the most critical factor. Otherwise, even with well-managed advertising campaigns, as seen with Vancl, significant challenges can persist.
