Three core changes in domestic trade attracting customers in 2026
Traditional domestic trade relies on exhibitions, salesmen, and telephone visits to attract customers, which is costly and inefficient. In 2026, domestic trade customer acquisition has shifted to the global model of\"content + search + Short Video\". Customers have already learned most of the information online before looking for suppliers. Whoever is first searched by the customer online will get priority in inquiries.
1. Douyin Short Video Get Customers: Factory IP is a Trend
Before purchasing B-end customers in 2026, they are accustomed to searching for relevant suppliers on Douyin and video numbers first. Short Video are made by the factory, not by making Internet celebrity videos, but by making professional content:
- Real IP empowerment: The factory director and technical director appear on the scene to explain industry knowledge, product technology, and pit avoidance skills, and create professional and reliable factory personnel design
- Scene-based content: Without listing parameters, take product application scenarios, customer cases, and production quality inspection processes to visually display production capacity and quality control
- Precise keyword layout: The video title and content contain product keywords that customers will search for, such as\"Cangzhou Precision Parts Processing\",\"Hebei Hardware Parts Manufacturer\"
Through co-city positioning and accurate placement of industry topics, inquiries can be received within 3-5 days, and CPA costs are 50% lower than traditional advertising.
2. Search traffic layout: Let customers proactively find you
In 2026, a large number of buyers will directly search for supplier keywords in Baidu, AI search, and Douyin search. If they can't find them, they will mean that customers have gone to their peers.
- Baidu SEO Optimization: Layout product keywords and let customers list them on the home page when searching for\"XX manufacturer\" and\"XX wholesale\"
- AI Search Optimization (GEO): Ask ChatGPT, bean buns, and Perplexity to recommend you when customers ask "Which manufacturer is better in XX industry?"
- content matrix: Baijia accounts, headline accounts, and Zhihu agency accounts simultaneously release dry goods in the industry, forming a multi-platform search space
3. Improving the efficiency of AI tools: One person does the work of three people
To do domestic trade in 2026, not using AI tools will be a waste of manpower.
- AI generates Short Video scripts: Enter product information, AI automatically generates 10 Short Video scripts, and takes 3 scripts a day
- AI writes promotion copy: Automatically generate hundreds of accounts, headlines, and small red book content, and publish it on multiple platforms with one click
- Intelligent customer service reception: Automatically respond to customer inquiries 7x24 hours a day, and no clues will be missed
