Currently, competition in the lighting industry is intensifying. Traditional offline customer acquisition and conventional channel marketing models are experiencing sluggish growth, while challenges such as fragmented traffic, high customer acquisition costs, and low conversion efficiency have become core obstacles hindering the transformation, upgrading, and market expansion of Ningbo’s lighting enterprises. To help member companies seize opportunities presented by artificial intelligence and digital marketing, unlock new customer acquisition pathways, reconstruct an omnichannel marketing system, and enhance core market competitiveness, the “AI+5C Omnichannel Customer Acquisition Training Camp,” meticulously planned and organized by the Ningbo Lighting Electrical Appliance Industry Association, was successfully held at Zhejiang University Ningbo Institute of Technology on June 2–3. The two-day training event concluded successfully. Focusing specifically on marketing scenarios unique to the lighting industry and centered on practical implementation, the camp attracted over 60 member enterprises and more than 100 participants—including senior executives, marketing leads, and operational specialists—creating a highly engaged learning atmosphere marked by active exchanges and fruitful outcomes.
This training camp closely aligned with industry development trends and real-world business pain points, innovatively integrating AI-powered technologies with the 5C omnichannel marketing framework. Moving beyond traditional theoretical or generic training formats, it delivered a specialized, hands-on curriculum tailored specifically for the lighting sector. Centered on real lighting industry case studies, traffic strategies, and customer acquisition techniques, the program covered core topics including AI-generated content, omnichannel traffic planning,精细化 customer operations, and sustainable private-domain growth—offering targeted solutions to common marketing transformation challenges.
During the training, instructors combined the unique characteristics of the lighting market with numerous real-world benchmark cases to clearly deconstruct the foundational logic of AI-driven marketing. They provided detailed demonstrations of practical applications for various efficient AI tools used in customer acquisition, content creation, and data analysis, enabling participants to quickly master cost-effective, high-efficiency intelligent customer acquisition techniques. Additionally, instructors offered in-depth interpretations of the new 5C omnichannel marketing model, systematically explaining how lighting enterprises can build tailored omnichannel systems that break down online-offline marketing silos to achieve precise traffic capture, efficient conversion, and long-term customer retention.
Unlike traditional one-way lecture formats, this training camp adopted a diversified teaching approach combining theoretical instruction, case dissection, hands-on practice, group discussions, and live Q&A sessions. Throughout the event, participants listened attentively, took detailed notes, actively engaged in group discussions, case reviews, and practical exercises, and proactively consulted instructors about their own companies’ marketing challenges. Instructors precisely analyzed common issues such as insufficient traffic precision, monotonous marketing content, and slow new-customer acquisition, providing clear, actionable solutions to optimize enterprise marketing strategies. Participants also exchanged insights, shared resources, and sparked collaborative ideas, fostering industry-wide synergy through mutual learning and achieving bidirectional empowerment and collective advancement.
After two days of immersive, systematic learning, all participants successfully completed the full curriculum and graduated from the program. Attendees unanimously praised the training camp as highly practical, deeply relevant, and exceptionally targeted—helping them transcend traditional marketing mindsets. They not only gained a systematic understanding of the AI+5C omnichannel marketing model and its hands-on methodologies but also broadened their digital marketing perspectives and resolved long-standing customer acquisition challenges. They emphasized the strong strategic value of these insights for optimizing future marketing systems and exploring new markets. Participants expressed hope that the association will continue offering more high-quality training programs closely aligned with industry needs and market trends to sustainably empower enterprise development.
