  • Temu appears unstoppable. Since the Chinese shopping app launched in the U.S. a year ago, it has become the number one e-commerce app in the country, with downloads skyrocketing 50x from 600,000 to 30 million in just one quarter, according to Bernstein analysts. In contrast, Amazon's downloads have dropped off a cliff, falling 40% in a year. Known for wild discounts and dirt-cheap prices that severely undercut Amazon's, Temu has ratcheted up its ad spend to infiltrate the American consumer, set to spend an estimate $2 billion in marketing in 2023. This week on Tech Check, we dive how Temu has hit Amazon's weak spots to take the country by storm.

    I notice a lot of ads delivered to me offering Temu with the slogan 'Shop like a millionaire'. I am not a millionaire and I therefore presume that millionaires buy cheap Chinese junk that breaks after the second use.

    • @V21IC
      @V21IC 8 месяцев назад +4

      Shop like a millionaire actually means to shop without being constrained & restrained by the cost of products.
      Regarding quality, Amazon isn't any better just more expensive.
      It's your choice: cheap things at a cheap price; or cheap things at an expensive price!
      You'll still be shopping as a millionaire in one and be shopping as if you were a millionaire in the other!😂
      You should do a comparison of the goods on Amazon that are made in the USA versus those made in China, and in other markets.
      The result would be like this:
      #1. China
      #2.China
      #3 Other markets
      #4 USA
      There are many American brand names and English sounding brands that are not made in the USA nor European countries!
      That's the reality!
      There are virtually two models which are one (#2):
      1. Import cheap and sell expensive
      2. Produce cheap, export cheap, sell cheap directly and expensive indirectly!
      The producer is China and the consumer is the World!

If Temu can do this, customers from around the world will profess their undying loyalty to you. We just want someone to be on our side.

    Everyone is focusing on the price aspect only - where the price is only one element of the sale process... quality of those products are near to zero so if you want to buy a garbage then good luck. My friend from Norway use to say "I am to poor to buy a crap" - there is logic in this, you buy cheap stuff and they break down quickly so you have to buy again or buy the better (more expensive) next time so why don't you buy a better one in the first time?
