Mya Frazier described in an article “How P&G Brought the Diaper Revolution to China “, published in Moneywatch, in January, 2010. She said that when Procter & Gamble set out to sell Pampers in China more than a decade ago, it faced a daunting marketing challenge: P&G didn 't just have to persuade parents that its diapers were the best. It had to persuade many of them that they needed diapers at all. The disposable diaper — a throwaway commodity in the West — just wasn 't part of the cultural norm in the Chinese nursery. Babies wore cloth diapers, or in many cases, no diaper at all. And that, says Bruce Brown, who 's in charge of P&G 's $2 billion R&D budget, is why China presented — and still presents — such a huge opportunity.

When P&G first launched Pampers in China in 1998, the effort flopped. Instead of developing a unique product for the market, P&G made a lower-quality version of U.S. and European diapers, wrongly assuming (as already mentioned) that parents would buy them if they were cheap enough. “It just didn’t work,” Brown

It will not work out well for a foreign company to adapt its marketing model to the Chinese market. Marketing models such as direct marketing of the brand, which works well in the American market, is likely to fail in the Chinese market.
