How to Reach 1 Billion Chinese Consumers
Using WeChat Marketing
In China, a country of more than 1.4 billion people who have no access to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, the most commonly used communications platform is none other than WeChat.
About 1 billion of them (Source: Tencent, March 2018) are using it to network with their friends, read news and reports, make video and voice calls, shop, play games or even pay for physical goods offline. [Out of this number, about 10% are using the international version WeChat, while the remaining 90% are using the Chinese version Weixin (微信)].
With so many users accessing WeChat every day and using its multiple functions, WeChat marketing definitely offers a very powerful way to connect with your customers.
“Social media will help you build up loyalty of your current customers to the point that they will willingly, and for free, tell others about you.” – Bonnie Sainsbury
