Experiences on e-commerce and retail in Thailand

Image
Thailand (and especially Bangkok), a great place to be with lots of retail inspiration I am now in Thailand, a great place to visit! Bangkok is one of my favorite cities, I have been here many times and I always like to be back here. An overview of the Thai retail and commerce landscape (with video) after my recent visit Retail and commerce abroad I love all the differences in retail and e-commerce between countries and continents. I read a lot about it, and I also try to experience them when visiting. During this visit to Bangkok, I decided to take some pictures and shoot some videos on Thai retail and e-commerce.

Blogger, the platform that I use for this blog, doesn't really give the tools to really display a well plotted journey map, but I guess a few screenshots can also be interesting for people also active in the

 This post is in draft and is regularly updated Recently I read a book and did a course on the Noon Nopi framework. It is a framework that can be used for global marketing (although main focus is Asia). If you think that it is interesting, buy the book .  I will place some screenshots in this post and a short explanation as for my own reference, but it might be useful for others as well.  Noon Nopi is Korean. It means "eye level" and that is exactly what this is about. Marketing is simply defined as the matching of eye levels between two or more parties. It can be external or internal. A product or service can be : Under Noon Nopi Fail to live up customer expectations (quality for example) Over Noon Nopi Over estimate customer expectations. May lead to over pricing This is always applicable in marketing but especially in international marketing. Make sure you have the correct "Noon Nopi", when you market abroad. A Noon Nopi should be described in around 5 words. ASE
