“Through the advanced solutions, Q & Me and Tascade, Asia Plus wants to assist Vietnam develop a strong internet marketing, facilitating businesses connectivity with target customers,” said Asia Plus CEO Kengo Kurokawa
Vietnam has become a highly attractive market in Asia with a huge influx of foreign investment flooding the country over recent years and there is a particularly high proportion of Japanese investment in the country.
However, according to Japanese managers, companies are experiencing difficulties in expanding operations in all Southeast Asian nations, including Vietnam. They are specifically concerned with the lack of sophistication in marketing campaigns and comprehensive marketing strategies incorporating state-of-the-art marketing tools.
