Ravpower Case Study

You may use products from Ravpower, TaoTronics, and VAVA. But do you know the company behind these brands? It is Sunvalley Group.

This post will briefly introduce Sunvalley’s digital marketing. You can compare Sunvalley with Anker. Both of them sell chargers, power banks, projectors, and earphones on Amazon and their official websites., but Anker is more popular.

Sunvalley Group (泽宝)

Founded in 2007, the Sunvalley Group has grown to become a Brand Owner that is currently home to six international consumer brands: RAVPower, VAVA, TaoTronics, Anjou, Sable, and HooToo.

You can find that some official websites do not work now.
They use Shopify as their e-commerce platform and RAVPower, TaoTronic, and VAVA share a similar theme.

Below are their products recorded last year and this year (2020).
Easy to find big changes in product categories and websites.

Social  Media Marketing

It seems that 3 brands that still work do not perform well on social networks. It is partly because of the product category (tech, charger, earphone) and partly because of brand management and marketing activities.
