An interesting case study of how you cannot just throw money at something and make it work (long-term). Here are some key takeaways: Temu's Fast Growth and Business Model: -Temu, an online retailer known for selling cheap and often counterfeit items, has gained popularity rapidly within 18 months of its launch, ranking 89th most visited website in the US and 148th globally. -The company is facing significant financial challenges, with a reported loss of over $3 billion in the previous year, primarily due to its strategy of selling items at extremely low prices, leading to a burn rate of $30 per order. Temu's Marketing Strategy and Initial Success: -Temu's marketing strategy involved purchasing thousands of popular products, like Nintendo Switches, and pricing them at remarkably low rates, creating curiosity and intrigue. -The strategy generated widespread attention and discussion on social media, making Temu widely known overnight and attracting millions of users to its platform. Key issues for consumers: -Lackluster customer support, lost packages, privacy and security issues.
