Industrial reformer GHS ranking the top in the industry in enterprise and APP growth rates
In countries like America and South Korea, TV shopping is not only a key media retail industry competitive with B2C, but also a national strategic core that plays an important role in stimulating consumption market and improving industrial chains. On the contrary, the value of China’s counterpart hasn’t been tapped yet, and the industry is also facing big challenges. As e-commerce and the real economy continuously converges, many TV shopping companies have sought to transform and change by way of product upgrading and media convergence.
In the last year, GHS took the lead in entering the intelligent large screen TV shopping sector and expanded its channels through media convergence, forming an omnimedia layout. Currently, GHS has obtained more than 70% of the market share in intelligent large screen sector and established a closed-loop eco-system for mobile video shopping platforms. GHS App ranked the 2nd in TV shopping industry in the list of 2016 active e-commerce APPs, according to data issued by Analysys.
As a rising young company in TV shopping industry, it cost GHS only less than 4 years to develop into a level that may cost others a decade, and its enterprise and APP growth rates have ranked top in the industry. When asked about how could people reform the industry and make breakthroughs in the future, Jason Kong, the chairman of GHS said, “To solve bottlenecks and to transform and upgrade, it’s necessary for the industry to transform from non-mainstream to mainstream. And to do so, the industry should focus on the market and practice under the guidance of innovation.”
