WECHAT MARKETING

With over 1 billion users, WeChat is China’s leading communication app and is far more than a mobile messenger. This all-in-one platform allows users to chat, read, shop, pay, and play. Advertising on WeChat is a fast-growing opportunity that allows brands and businesses to define specific target audience groups on the ecosystem and help to attract new audiences and drive sales.

In terms of its mega database and multiple functions, WeChat can accurately target your audience via following channels: WeChat Official Account, WeChat Ad, Moment Ad, WeChat Mini program and WeChat private group. A WeChat official account is essentially the first step to approach your Chinese audience in the field of social media marketing.

If you are looking to move into the Chinese market, the following Wechat marketing strategies should be considered:

Create high-quality and emotionally appealing content

WeChat marketers have to carefully choose what content they are going to use in WeChat Official Account as well as to decide the optimal posting time and day. For most B2C brands, the best day to post is the weekend while the best time to post is early morning (6 am to 9 am) or late evening (8 pm to 1 am). You also need to consider three elements of your post: tone of voice, layout, and visual. Instead of the static image, video post is the latest trend.

Utilize banner & Moment advertising

You can advertise through the banners at the bottom of popular articles. WeChat banner ads are an effective way to drive users to your website. Moment advertising tends to be a better choice for well-known brands with visually attractive products.

Partner with WeChat influencers

One of the best ways to introduce your brand to the Chinese audience is through an influencer, or KOL (key opinion leader). WeChat influencers have their own public account which can push messages to their subscribers. Be it a full article talking about your brand, or a banner ad at the end of a content piece will be useful in building brand presence.

Build customer loyalty with a Mini Programme app

Brands can use Mini Programme, a plug-in to WeChat, to offer special promotions and serve as a loyalty program for their customers. Mini Programme can be in the form of a loyalty program to complete customers' offline shopping journey, a gift card, a mini-game to increase brand awareness and social mention or an E-commerce store to be integrated into WeChat.
