Cross-border business formats and trends of Taiwan B2B enterprises
Enterprises accelerate the use of digital sales and marketing, and make good use of digital tools to achieve business goals
95% of Taiwan's "pure B2B cross-border enterprises" are manufacturing, and the product features are mainly based on high unit price and customization. In contrast, the sales targets of "Hybrid B2B Cross-border Enterprises" include both enterprises and general consumers, and the product features are mainly low unit price and standardization.
These companies encounter the primary challenges cross-border, mainly product power/price competition, difficulty in reaching more or more valuable potential customers, and many companies face lack of understanding of local markets or customers, lack of local resources, talent recruitment and management difficulty.
Global epidemic affects B2B cross-border sales performance
The epidemic has caused sales of about half of the listed companies to decline in 2020, but nearly 50% of the companies remain optimistic about their sales performance in 2021, are expected to grow, and have organized expansion plans.
After the outbreak of the epidemic in early 2020, companies have reduced or stopped holding physical exhibitions. The global Google keyword search volume for "online exhibitions" has surged 6.5 times. The COVID-19 situation has accelerated the use of online sales channels. More than 20% of Taiwan's B2B cross-border enterprises have started to operate official websites or official e-commerce platforms after the epidemic , more than 10% of enterprises have joined the three-party comprehensive e-commerce platform, and about a quarter of enterprises have started to operate online exhibitions.
In order to achieve different business goals, B2B suppliers use different digital sales channels, among which the official website can be said to be a must, Because the official website can convey a professional image; provide complete products or services; can master more complete customer information, so it is easy to build a sense of trust, the repurchase rate is high, and the price can be relatively high without price wars.

According to the degree of digitalization, 40% of Taiwan's B2B cross-border enterprises are still in the traditional stage, that is, the digital sales channels, digital marketing channels, data processing level, and data analysis tools integration level are relatively immature.
Regardless of the digital level, traditional, growing or mature B2B cross-border companies almost all use their own independent e-commerce websites, plus traditional businesses, as the main sales channel, of which customers from the company's own e-commerce platform account for ratio is as high as about one-third, that is, One out of every three customers of the company comes from the official website , which once again reflects the necessity and high efficiency of operating your own e-commerce website.

Effectively reaching customers and lack of talent are the main pain points of running your own e-commerce website
Up to about 30% of enterprises believe that the pain point of operating an official website is that it is difficult to effectively reach customers and lack of talents to operate an official website
Indeed, these two problems require professional digital talents to achieve greater benefits for the company. UBSO ECommerce will recommend that, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, must cultivate at least one or several digital talents. The most efficient and time-saving way for developers or designers is to cooperate with professional website development service providers, that is, outsource the work of website design and development to a professional team. In this way, small and medium-sized enterprises only need to have a few digital talents who can grasp the general direction of the company's online channel sales, and it is easier to develop more business opportunities in the complex multi-channel operation of the Internet market.
In terms of digital marketing, it is worth noting that mature companies are more focused on operating their own content and organic traffic.
As the scale of operations increases, in addition to paid advertising, companies will also prepare more budgets to operate their own content and online activities to build long-term brand equity.
In terms of the depth of data analysis and processing, all types of enterprises still have room for improvement
30% of traditional enterprises have little access to data analysis tools; even growing and mature enterprises still have room for improvement in the use of solutions for database establishment, customer data platform and data security management.
In addition, most enterprise data tools are poorly integrated, making it difficult to measure their effectiveness.

Frank also suggested that exporters should take advantage of the high reach and efficiency of digital tools to achieve goals at all stages and effectively expand their revenue scale.
The traditional type, growth type, mature type, and hybrid type mentioned above are just the process of enterprise development, and there is no need to become a type after a few years of operation.
