Abstract

In this study, the researcher will assess the marketing strategy analysis of Pinduoduo, a Chinese e-commerce giant that, over the past few years, has gained prominence and increased its market share against traditional e-commerce companies such as Alibaba and JD.com. In this study, the researcher will examine the effectiveness of the evolving online marketplace, focusing on the companys unique business model and strategies such as time-limited instant kills and social media marketing to develop a better understanding of the impact and success of Pinduoduos approach. The methodological approach that the researcher will use is a comprehensive literature review and the SWOT model to understand Pinduoduos digital marketing strategies. The literature review approach will focus on the core business model of the company, while the SWOT model will be instrumental in analyzing market positioning and segmentation. The key questions in this study include: conducting an assessment of the efficacy of Pinduoduos marketing plan; understanding its digital marketing trends; and drawing insights from global success stories in the industry. Pinduoduos marketing strategies that have led the company to effectively engage users, specifically those from low-tier cities, include time-limited instant kills, daily cash rewards, and subsidies. The SWOT analysis has helped the company identify strengths, such as market differentiation, and weaknesses, such as high unit prices. In conclusion, Pinduoduos success will be based on its ability to successfully navigate the sinking market and its successful utilization of its strategic innovations, making it a formidable player in the digital era.
