Social Media Sales

If you aren’t already selling on social media, you’re missing a huge opportunity! You can have the most appealing website (sales platform) in the world, but if no one sees it… it won’t matter. You need to meet your target audience where they spend their time- and more than likely, that’s on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media platforms. Studies show that people are now spending about 30% of their online time on Social Media.


As you can see, maintaining a social media presence is critical to business survival… but smart business owners will also use it to sell, sell, sell, in the coming year.


Bonus tips:
Most social media platforms now have integrated buy buttons that are able to transfer potential customers to your website to complete a sale.


Many companies could also benefit from exploring apps such as Instagram and Snapchat- an investment in their shoppable stories (clever advertisements) could be wise depending on your target audience.


Primasia is your partner in Hong Kong and China, offering E-commerce solutions that includes everything from locating the most suitable platforms, to account set-up and management, as well as logistics and trade documentation services. Contact us today to learn more.

Are you setting New Year's resolutions for your small business or start-up? With the New Year upon us and the Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) nearly here, most of us are inspired to create positive changes this time of year. When most people think about "New Year's Resolutions", they tend to think about personal goals-- like losing weight, quitting a bad habit, or learning a new skill. But setting goals, and working to accomplish them, should not be confined to our personal lives as they can also be very helpful for creating positive change for your business as well. After all, a resolution is, quite simply, a decision to do something different to bring about positive change. Here are a few suggestions on small, yet powerful changes for your business:

Improve your Digital Presence
This can include designing a website, (or finally making your web presence mobile-friendly), creating social media accounts for your business, and/or running SEO ads or other digital marketing. Not sure where to start? Hiring a social media marketing team may be your digital solution.


Become a Better Communicator
Miscommunications with your work colleagues, employees, and/or clients can result in decreased employee morale, wasted time, and loss of income. Learn to listen, ask clarifying questions, and communicate your expectations and requirements clearly.

Manage your Cash Flow more Effectively
And even better, manage it on the go! Cloud accounting is the future, and the future is here with Xero, an easy to use and powerful online accounting system designed to give you real time financial information anywhere you have an internet connection. And yes, even small businesses can benefit from moving to Xero. Xero helps you look over your cash flow quickly, helping you to plan for the future by learning more about the drastic ebbs and flows in your cash flow.  Basically, it can really help those who have a hard time understanding the day-to-day finances of the business.

Want to be Smarter, Healthier, and Sleep Better? Listen to Classical Music!



Auditions are here! Every Spring the Asian Youth Orchestra holds our yearly auditions for aspiring young musicians across Asia to join us for six weeks each summer-- including a three-week Rehearsal Camp in Hong Kong, followed by a three-week international concert tour with celebrated conductors and solo artists. The upcoming 2019 tour includes performances in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Chiayi City, Seoul, Fukuoka, Kumamoto and Tokyo.  Visit our website for more details

Classical music is more than something that’s pleasing to the ear, in fact listening to it has a lot of perks… some that might surprise you! So keep reading and learn how listening to Classical Masterpieces by artists such as Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Max Bruch, Richard Strauss, and Johannes Brahms can help you to become smarter, healthier, and better able to get a good night's sleep.

Listening to classical music can help you lower your blood pressure. It’s true! There was a study done a few years back that concluded that “Participants who listened to classical music had significantly lower post-task systolic blood pressure levels”.

Whether you are an insomniac who has a hard time falling asleep, or a restless sleeper that can’t quite reach the depths of REM sleep needed to adequately function, this study showed that classical music can help you sleep better, deeper, and overall improve sleep quality.


Say goodbye (or at least help diminish) pain by cueing up your favorite classical music. This 2006 study found that people with chronic pain felt better and had decreased pain after listening to music. Music can be a powerful rehabilitation tool!

It’s true, listening to classical music may increase your IQ. This study showed that participants who listened to Mozart’s Sonata for just 10 minutes demonstrated IQ scores that were 10 points higher than before listening to Mozart. How is this possible? Classical music is believed to enhance the brain’s spatial-temporal reasoning-- ie cognitive understanding. Skeptical? Maybe, but it doesn’t hurt to add a few minutes of classical music to your daily routine.

What other benefits have you experienced? We’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

The Asian Youth Orchestra is Asia's premier pre-professional orchestra, offering opportunities for advanced study, performance and international concert touring experiences.

Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT+ Employees




Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 would like to wish you a very Happy New Year! As we begin a fresh chapter in the new year, many are seeking to create resolutions to better themselves. Typically these resolutions are personal goals, such as losing weight, quitting a bad habit, and/or learning a new skill-- but why stop there? This year, why not work to create a more inclusive workplace environment for all?! Workplaces that have policies specifically protecting employees who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT+) against discrimination are not yet common in Asia, which makes working to support these minorities even more important. Whether you own your own company, are a business leader, or are one of the working billions just trying to keep a roof over your head-- these simple steps can help everyone feel welcome and included. Are you ready for company morale to go through the roof?! Read on…


Be an equal opportunity employer.
Ensure your hiring process and work policies are focused on being an equal opportunity employer. By focusing on what your employees and colleagues can bring to the table in terms of talent and skill, you will attract a more diverse talent pool. Having a well-rounded team can boost business performance, as well as employee engagement and morale. Being an equal opportunity employer ensures a diverse business that can represent the clients they serve in the most effective manner possible.

Create a safe workplace for all employees
Start by developing clear anti-discrimination policies, then enforce them consistently and fairly. When an employee comes to you with a complaint, promptly investigate the issue. Last but not least, learn ways to de-escalate tense situations and come to a peaceful resolution, especially around issues of diversity.

Support local LGBT+ resources, and PRIDE events
Gather employees who are interested in attending these events and go as a group! Not only are you supporting diversity, but you are also promoting your business and letting the local community know that you are a safe place to purchase and/or do business with. Win-Win

It’s the right thing to do
Lastly, creating an inclusive workplace environment for all is simply the right thing to do in general. Driving diversity matters for all of us- not only the LGBT+ community. Diversity and equality for all should be the norm, rather than the exception.

We’d also like to say Thank You to Community Business, for their dedication to advancing responsible and inclusive business practices in Asia.  These are the people behind the Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index & Awards, which has been an ongoing pioneering initiative since 2015. The 2019 Hong Kong LGBT+ Inclusion Index is currently open for submissions.

About us:
Hong Kong is the first Asian city to host the Gay Games, the world’s biggest international sporting and cultural event for all, in 2022. Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 will be an empowering experience for LGBT+ athletes and supporters from across Asia, in addition to welcoming visitors from around the world, to participate in a variety of sporting and cultural events.
