that is
so familiar to Vietnamese consumers, was born in 1982 under the founding of Mr.
Mrs. Vưu Khải Thành. "
" is an abbreviation of "Binh Tien". At
first
, the company only had 15 employees to produce rubber sandals exported to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe from low-productivity rust machines.
In the late 1980s, when the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe disintegrated,
Biti
's lost its main
market
. At the same time, in the domestic
market
, Thai and Chinese sponge slippers are lighter and more beautiful than Vietnamese rubber slippers. Exporting flat bowls, selling in the country was not finished, Mr. Vưu Khải Thành and his wife immediately went to Taiwan to buy technology to produce EVA foam slippers.
This
Chinese-born businessman chose Southwest and China as the new export
market
. China is the world's largest
footwear
producer and
footwear
exporter, limiting the expansion of already arduous Chinese goods, let alone attacking the rival.
This
is a bold decision because while Chinese
footwear
is entering the Vietnamese
market
with low prices,
Biti
’s thinks the opposite: conquering the rival
market
with
quality
, affordable products.
Advantages:
This
is considered an easy-going
market
because it consists of different population classes, different income, so the needs are very diverse, able to survive the goods with good specifications and

Biti
's has the ability to supply thousands of products to the
market
.
In addition
, the culture between the two countries has many similarities. China attaches great importance to export promotion, but China's
footwear

is relatively small, accounting for only 1% of the whole country. The well-known foreign brands

The West is the most backward
in China.
Therefore

this
country always attaches great importance to the economic development of the Western region.
This
has opened up "golden opportunities" for Vietnamese businesses like

Challenges:
Although
Chinese made goods are not considered high
quality
, they are always rich and diverse. Thanks in part to
market
research, and in no small part to the widespread popularity of counterfeit goods in China, Chinese facilities seem to be able to immediately imitate every style and design on the
market

Strategy
: Avoid strong - hit weak

Avoid strong: If China enters the Vietnamese

market
with low prices,
Biti
's conquers its competitors with high
quality
products at competitive prices, higher than Chinese goods but cheaper. Famous brand products
such
as Adidas and Nike.
Weak shot:
Biti
’s has researched to find a vacancy in the Southwest
market
of China. The Southwest is a potential
market
with a population of over 420 million people, focusing on 75% of ethnic minorities and about 80% of China's poor but left open because China is too focused on exporting.

Price
strategy
: Here,
Biti
's applies the "one price" policy and creates a good effect right after its inception. Consumers in Southwest China will feel secure because they do not have to worry about paying, buying, buying the wrong one.
Moreover
, because the price is always associated with
quality
,
although
it is a bit more expensive than similar products,
Biti
’s is still the trend of choice for consumers here.
Distribution
strategy
is summarized in the four words "thick, far-flung":

Biti

such
as Chongqing, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hubei. ..., even in Beijing and Shanghai, it is a "dream" distribution and retail network of any business.
Trade promotion
strategy
: TV commercials, newspapers in China are expensive but ineffective by reaching directly to consumers through fairs and local distributors. Because the customs of the people here are very interested in

Result: Imprinted with a footprint on the away field
As a result
