On May 20th, JD Worldwide, JD.com’s platform for imported products, held its first-of-the-year online business development conference with the Korean International Trade Association (KITA) to recruit Korean brands.

After the outbreak of COVID-19, many overseas brands have met difficulties in entering the Chinese market. The online conference provides a new channel for Korean brands to get to know the platform and the services of JD Worldwide. Over 250 Korean brands joined this online event.

The conference introduced the process and policies required for launching on JD Worldwide, and the international logistics service provided by JD Logistics. Since the epidemic, JD Worldwide has maintained close connection with KITA and joined several of its online dialogues with Korean brands to help them enter the Chinese market. So far, JEJUON, Peach and, 2ndesign and I’M Sorry For My Skin have showed interest and are under discussion with JD Worldwide.

JD Worldwide can not only recommend high-quality operators to help brands accelerate the process of coming on board, but also provide support on store operations and marketing to help brands improve their performance.

JD Worldwide can also provide training to partners on platform operations and use of JD’s marketing resources and advertisements.

On March 20th, 2020, JD Worldwide held an online conference for merchants and announced that JD.com will help international brands turn over 1,000 new products into hot selling products this year, and nurture over 3,000 new international brands on the platform.
