1981 Tech Powers Fashion Brand's Prime Day Success

Amid the increasingly fierce competition in the cross-border e-commerce industry, Shenzhen 1981 Technology Co., Ltd. has always adhered to a pragmatic approach, committed to providing brands with practical and effective operational support. Our collaboration with a clothing brand from Wenzhou stands as a testament to our continuous exploration and practice.

Breaking Through Product Selection Challenges: Four-Quadrant Matrix + Micro-Innovation to Unlock Blockbuster Potential

The clothing brand boasted a diverse product line, but identifying potential bestsellers remained a persistent challenge. The 1981 Tech team introduced the "Four-Quadrant Analysis Method," systematically evaluating all apparel styles across four dimensions: market demand, competition intensity, profit margin, and brand alignment. The horizontal axis measured "Market Demand vs. Competition Intensity," while the vertical axis assessed "Profit Margin vs. Brand Alignment," dividing products into four quadrants: star products, potential products, maintenance products, and phase-out products.

The analysis revealed that a previously overlooked dress fell into the "potential products" quadrant. Although market competition was moderate, consumer searches for similar styles had surged by 30% over the past three months. The team decided to implement "micro-innovations," adding detachable eco-friendly accessories and adjusting the cuff design. To cater to the target audience's preference for personalized styling, the product description emphasized its "versatile styling" potential. After optimization, this dress emerged as a standout product and became a top seller during Prime Day.

Data-Driven Navigation: Precision Insights Fuel Sales Growth

Data serves as the core driver of cross-border e-commerce operations, with monitoring and analysis embedded throughout the process. By leveraging data from Amazon Advertising, social media comments, and user search keywords, we gained deep insights into consumer preferences. During Prime Day preparations, we noticed rising search trends for keywords like "eco-friendly fabrics" and "low-carbon production," prompting us to update product descriptions with certification details and manufacturing processes.

For ad campaigns, we analyzed daily click-through rates (CTR) and Advertising Cost of Sales (ACoS). When a high-impression keyword showed an elevated ACoS, we refined the ad copy to highlight limited-time discounts, ultimately reducing the ACoS by approximately 12% and improving ROI. Additionally, historical sales data guided inventory allocation, minimizing excess stock.

Overcoming Logistics and Compliance Hurdles: End-to-End Safeguards for Operational Resilience

Logistics and compliance are critical pain points in cross-border e-commerce. Ahead of Prime Day, we leveraged Qilin Global Logistics—our joint venture with Crown Worldwide—to design a comprehensive solution. Utilizing Crown's established logistics network, Qilin tailored shipping strategies: air express for small, lightweight accessories to ensure speed, and sea freight consolidation for regular apparel to optimize costs, with timelines carefully planned for on-time warehouse arrival.

We have been deeply collaborating with the professional team of Qilin Overseas Logistics to systematically sort out Amazon's compliance requirements, optimize product labels, ingredient identification and detail page display, and ensure compliance with platform regulations. With the rich experience of Qilin Chuhai in cross-border logistics, we have optimized the process in advance to ensure smooth sales on member days.

Through close collaboration between 1981 Tech and the brand, the 2024 Amazon Prime Day achieved a two-day sales total exceeding $180,000. This success stems from the brand’s commitment to quality and favorable market trends. The partnership has yielded invaluable experience while highlighting areas for improvement. As the 2025 Prime Day countdown begins, we look forward to helping all partners achieve new milestones and together writing the next exciting chapter in cross-border e-commerce.
