Alibaba.com, the e-commerce giant, has introduced a special membership package for sellers in Germany, aiming to support SMEs in their digital transformation efforts. Starting in September, retailers can join the platform with a three-month trial period for approximately $9.
This announcement was made at a recent flagship event in Berlin. Alibaba.com conducted a survey of 1,008 German SMEs to understand the challenges they face. The survey revealed that while 88% of SMEs recognize digitalization as crucial for success, only 41% are fully digital. Many SMEs are concerned about the high costs associated with digitalization. Additionally, 96% believe AI will impact their exports, yet only 11% have implemented it so far.
New Solutions for German Sellers
According to Presseportal.de, to address these challenges, Alibaba.com is launching a new package of solutions for German sellers. This includes a revised membership model starting in September, offering a three-month trial period for just €8.40 ($9), a significant reduction from the standard fee of €372.61 ($399).
The platform is also introducing AI-powered tools, such as AI-generated product listings, a chatbot, and automatic analysis of category-relevant data. These updates aim to simplify strategic decision-making and enhance communication with potential buyers.
By lowering membership costs and offering advanced tools, Alibaba.com is making it easier for German SMEs to embrace digitalization and grow their businesses online.
