The Vietnamese home appliance market is witnessing an “online boom”: consumers are willing to spend money on convenience, on smartness in their homes – and they buy almost everything via their phones.

But there is a paradox:

Despite spending tens of millions of dong on advertising, many home appliance shops still do not increase revenue, have no returning customers, and do not know which is the most effective campaign.

The problem is not in the product, but in the operating system and marketing methods.

Online business is not just “posting – running ads – closing orders”, but a optimized process chain from data, content, experience to technology.

And that is where GTG CRM becomes a “strategic assistant” for every household goods shop owner in the new era.

GTG CRM supports the business process of household goods stores

From good products to strong brands – a journey that requires data, not emotion

A common mistake of small home appliance shops is the mindset of “good products sell themselves”.

But in the digital age, product quality only accounts for 50% of success. The remaining 50% comes from how you tell your story, position your brand and nurture the customer experience.

Today’s consumers:

  • Not loyal to the brand – but loyal to the shopping experience.
  • Purchase decisions based on information they see and feel throughout the journey.

Therefore, to grow sustainably, shops need an accurate customer data platform, to:

  • Know which channels customers come from (Facebook, Shopee, Zalo…).
  • Know which product groups they are interested in (for example, “kitchenware” or “smart devices”).
  • Track behavior: who is buying again, who is about to “leave”.

GTG CRM allows home appliance shop owners to collect, store and classify customer data automatically dynamic – from Facebook messages, Shopee orders, to email marketing.

Once the data is consolidated, you can:

  • Calculate Real ROI for each advertising channel.
  • Identify the most potential customer segments.
  • Personalize marketing campaigns for each group.

For example: Customer groups who bought “blenders” in the last 60 days → automatically receive emails suggesting “glass cup and blender cleaning brush combo” with a 10% discount.

Consumer behavior of household appliances is changing – and marketing needs to catch up faster

Industry Insight: Vietnamese are buying “solutions”, not “products”

If 5 years ago, customers were looking for “cheap air fryers”, now they are looking for “healthy, time-saving cooking solutions”.

That means:

  • Content must solve a problem, not just “list features”.
  • Ads must personalize messages based on real needs.
  • Marketing processes must be fast and flexible enough to respond to trends.

With GTG CRM, you can create personalized marketing campaigns based on real data:

  • AI suggests advertisement keywords, titles, descriptions appropriate to your product and customer insights.
  • All feedback data from Facebook Ads & Google Ads is synchronized to the dashboard – helping you immediately know which campaigns are profitable.
  • Automation Workflow automatically send messages, emails or notifications based on behavior (e.g., unopened email → send Zalo Reminder).

This is the transition from manual marketing to data-driven marketing – where every decision is measured by numbers, not by feelings.

The difference between “selling a lot” and “real growth” lies in the customer experience

In the home appliance industry, price is not the only deciding factor.

What keeps customers coming back is:

  • They feel well taken care of after the purchase.
  • They feel “understood” – getting the right suggestions, at the right time.

According to Harvard Business Review, a 5% increase in customer retention can increase profits 25–95%.

But many shops do not have customer journey management tools, making customer service become “instant reaction” instead of “strategic care”.

GTG CRM helps home appliance shop owners build an automated & seamless customer care system:

  • 360° customer profile: Each customer has a purchase history, behavior, and customer care notes.
  • Unified Inbox: Gather all messages from Facebook, Zalo, Gmail, WhatsApp... into a single interface.
  • Automatic care workflow dynamic: When customers buy an air fryer → after 7 days receive cleaning instructions → after 30 days receive a combo discount for accessories.

As a result, customers feel real care, and the shop increases the return rate without spending more on advertising.

Optimize internal processes - from marketing, sales to operations

When a home appliance shop starts to grow, the problem is no longer "whether there are customers or not" but how to manage it so that the system does not break down system.

Signs of “shop overload” include:

  • Sales forget to update order status.
  • Customer service duplicates feedback to the same customer.
  • Marketing does not know which source customers come from.
  • Revenue reports are skewed due to disjointed data.

GTG CRM solves this thoroughly by:

  • Data centralization – all customers, products, and campaigns are on a single platform.
  • Flexible authorization – each employee only see the assigned work, avoid errors and data leaks.
  • Real-time reporting – revenue, advertising costs, closing rate are displayed visually.

This helps shop owners switch from emotional management to data-based management.

You don't need to check 5 Excel files every night – just open the GTG CRM dashboard and see the entire business performance in 5 seconds.

From multi-channel to omnichannel: The ultimate optimization level together

Today's home appliance shopper starts the journey on Facebook, compares prices on Shopee, then completes the order via Zalo.

If these channels are not connected, you will:

  • Not identifying the same customer across platforms.
  • Not measuring the full purchase journey.
  • Not being able to personalize the experience.

Omnichannel is not just about “selling in multiple places,” it is about synchronizing data and customer experiences across where.

GTG CRM is the platform that helps SMEs achieve true Omnichannel:

  • Connect Facebook, Google, Zalo, Email, Website into the same system.
  • Unify customer information and interaction behavior.
  • Maintain a seamless experience from “viewing ads” → “chat consulting” → “ordering” → “receiving after-sales care.”

This is the step that big brands (such as Dien May Xanh, Lock&Lock, Elmich) have done – and now SMEs can completely deploy quickly – neatly – without the need for a technical team, thanks to GTG CRM.
