10 Tips for brands on wechat
Tips for WeChat
10For brands building audiences through official accounts.
The latest statistics from WeChat place its monthly active users
(MAU) at 700million, with audiences visiting the application
upwards of 30 times per day.
While follower numbers for most brands continue to grow, the
honeymoon appears to be over. Signs are starting to emerge
that follower growth rates for brand accounts are slowing.
At the same time, the government has started to apply
pressure to regulate H5 apps built onto WeChat. And Tencent
itself is applying greater control over brand activities.
Brands will have to employ more effective content strategies
on WeChat moving forward. In this presentation we share our
tips to help brands continue to grow by attracting/retaining
audiences on WeChat.

WeChat Ecosystem
Shorter, Simpler Paths - Mobile First.
IT’S A VERY TIGHT LINK BETWEEN
Content and Commerce.
We first established an account on WeChat in June 2013 and have had
really good traction so far. Our WeChat fanbase grew very rapidly and it
drives really good traffic to our ecommerce site as well. It’s actually one
of the first times that we’ve seen a social site driving a large number
of ecommerce sales.
Julien Chiavassa, Digital Head APAC for Clarins
GREAT, SHARABLE
CONTENT
A
At a point where you as a
brand are ready to start
attracting followers, you must
have quality content ready
and waiting for them when
they land on your Official
Account.
Setting Up On WeChat
Basic steps to getting brand accounts started on the right track.
INCENTIVES,
REWARDS
B
Account following can be
rapidly accelerated by
providing incentives/rewards
to followers ...discounts,
exclusive content, gifts,
‘welcome letters.’
LEVERAGE KOLS
TO GROW
C
KOLs are an important
complement to quality
content. KOLs provide the
reach to help expand
audiences. They are
particularly important for
targeting “interest groups.”
Tips for WeChat
10For brands building audiences through official accounts.
Make Headlines Count
01You have a brief opportunity to connect - headlines and key visuals are
essential to driving viewership and engagement.
There is only a very
brief opportunity
to capture
audience attention,
especially with
service accounts
which publish once
per week in a
digest format. The
lead story & key
headline must
hook audiences
instantly.
Make Headlines Count
Provocative questions. Surprises, secrets & intell.
Crisp, quick statements teasing interest to what’s inside.

Crisp, quick statements teasing interest to whats inside.
Timing Matters - Own a Moment.
**Data Provided by WeChat/Tencent, Oct 2015
What questions, information, needs are present during the day?
Its not enough to just publish at peak hour of 22:00 ...be more distinct!
Segment Audiences
02Identify (Tag) your core segments and create content to match.
By Gender, Age & Location
Segment into targeted content channels to do better job at engagement/growth
Streamline specific content per channel based on natural consumer splits.
WOMEN
Fashion, Beauty,
Cosmetics, Jewellery,
Home & Lifestyle,
Wellness
MEN
Sports, Menswear,
Gear/Gadgets, Sci-Fi,

WeChat CMS for Social CRM
Allows for targeted content & detailed CRM with followers on WeChat.
These are important features/functions which improve on the existing WeChat
admin dashboards, allowing brands to do a much better job in targeting
audiences with content (& messages).
Increase Relevance
03Shift content more to what matters for audiences. Find triggers.
CITY
SPECIFIC
A
More content for cities where
the brand is present.
Shanghai is of key
importance for most brands
given that it has taste-making
effect on other markets.
Increase Relevance
Explore the locations that TRIGGER audience action/engagement.
REALTIME
RESPONSE
B
More real-time response -
responding to news/trends
more quickly ...Fashion,
sports events, celebrity
news ...with focus on topics
matching brand character.

PRODUCTS
C
Identify the themes &
products which have unique
ability to bring people in/and
get them to look further into
the brand.
Showcase these products
and then expand interest.
Explore the products that TRIGGER audience action/engagement.
Be More Compelling
04For content to be compelling it must (1)create a sense of surprise/discovery,
(2)be human ...tap into audiences’ emotional center.
Be Compelling. Surprise Them!
Discovery, surprise (conflict)
...and resolution (to questions) are key to great content.

Human Stories ...Hit the Emotional Center
Tiffany features real love stories in a way that real/true to the brand
Tapping into a key emotion/need of audiences.
Tiffany features a steady stream of celebrity
and user love stories.
Incentives/Rewards
05Provide audiences with a reason to follow & acknowledgement to stay.
Acknowledgment of Long-Term Followers
Like any good relationship, people want/need to be acknowledged.
Bring loyalists in closer by demonstrating gratitude.
For companies with subscription & service accounts, the service
account can play the role of being for ‘insiders/loyalists.”
“Insider Communities”
For only those in-the-
know, people who
are already following
Louis Vuitton on
WeChat.
- Each week, 10-20 new followers get gift packs, hand written welcome letter.
- XXX number of new followers get invitations to special events.
Rewards for New Followers
Weekly acknowledgements (gift package/letters) for new followers
...whisper about it on Weibo, Zhihu ...and thru KOLs.
More Visual Storytelling
06Visuals (images/video) = Quick engagement with mobile audiences.
Gogoboi (perhaps
China’s most
successful fashion-
focused WeChat
blogger) has shifted
firmly towards more
visual (less text).
Shift More to Visual Storytelling
Visual content is the key currency on social media now. WeChat does have long stories
but visual (images/videos) have instant impact.
Shift More to Visual Storytelling
New Balance (among others) are creating images for WeChat, fit with the right
dimensions to make the most of the interface.
Shift More to Visual Storytelling
Experimenting with novel, fun visual formats is a tactic in itself.
A remarkable format can have viral appeal ...just make sure brand isn’t overshadowed.
MOVING GIFsCARTOON STRIPS INFOGRAPHICS
Star WarsKappa Chevrolet
Design more bite-sized visual content for sharing to
moments stream.
By creating great visuals (images/GIFs/Videos/
Infographics), brands can move into
the “Moments” stream. That’s where the real user-to-user
sharing takes place!
Paid “Moments Ads” in WeChat are very expensive...and
recent feedback is showing them to be decreasing in
effectiveness. Creating a great piece of sharable content is
much more cost effective.
Visuals Shared to “Moments”
Visuals Shared to “Moments”
McDonalds has experimented with posts as infographics, ... sharable from Official
Accounts to the “Moments” Stream. From there, content reaches new audiences.
Realtime Contents Get More Shared to Moments
Kobe Bryant’s retirement generated a lot of attention in China.
It resulted in a torrent of interesting realtime contents from Brands.
Add Other Social Media
07Linking WeChat accounts with other social media = fresh content.
Nice, Lofter, In and
Zhihu should all be
considered as
supplements to
WeChat. These social
channels help (using
more UGC), stimulate
more WOM.
Consumers there are
helping to author the
brand’s story.
WeChat + Other Social
Utilize additional social media channels to stimulate discussions
Nice took 10 KOLs to Japan for UNIQLO to reveal the Spring/Summer
2015 collection. All KOLs visited Uniqlo’s flagship store in Tokyo, and
shared their visits on Nice as a “live show.” The images were sent
through NICE ...and later share more widely through WeChat. Source of Content Reach for Content
Created on NICE ...Amplified thru WeChat
Guest Editors
08Bring in outside influencers to curate content.
Invite a Guest Editor to Co-Create.
KOLs are typically used to send/spread brand contents into their accounts (to build reach).
Why not bring them inside, to add more depth/value?
Invite KOL/Influencers
into your official account
to curate/create.
Guest editor to write 1-2
stories …decide on theme
for the week. 
Guest editor could also
introduce a city/favorite
thing/style.
Stories published into the
Brand’s official
account ...and spread
further thru the KOL
account to amplify.
Questions into Content
09Start taking relationships with followers seriously by listening/responding.
Audience Questions = Valuable Content
Instead of guessing what your audiences are looking for, ask ...then respond well.
Audiences are looking for answers. They also want to know the community.
STARBUCKS
Social Listening (Questions
answered well!)
VOGUE
Surveys/Polls = Infographics.
Very sharable content from the community.
Content On-Location
10Bring customers, influencers and KOLs to your shops to co-create content.
Content Created On Location.
Working with customers, influencers and KOLs, brands can merchandise products in a
fun, relevant way. Let them take your products out for a spin and show it off!
Get outside and find the
people, stories, places
and scenarios where
people want your brand.
Put your products/brand
in the hands of KOLs &
real audiences ...to
create fun content.
Start better using your
retail locations to have
content created (with
your products featured).
Start telling better stories at retail locations.
Allow content to start being created at your shops, with your products.
1. Make Headlines Count
2. Segment Audiences
3. Increase Relevance
4. Be More Compelling
5. Incentives/Rewards
6. More Visual Storytelling
7. Add Other Social Media
8. Use Guest Editors
9. Questions Into Content
10. Content On-Location
Content quality is key as WeChat becomes more mature. Relevant,
compelling, visual content is a MUST!
Its time to experiment more with other formats of video/motion-
graphics, similar to whats hot on mobile social networks like
Snapchat in the US. While (text) stories have a strong place in
WeChat, more visual, interactive formats will win out.
Brands who have already attained large follower numbers on
WeChat, should be looking to install CMS/CRM systems which
provide segmentation and tagging.
Brands must also begin creating content in realtime - in response to
events/trends - based on the themes, locations and the focused
audience segments that matter.

  • 36. Design more bite-sized visual content for sharing to moments stream. By creating great visuals (images/GIFs/Videos/ Infographics), brands can move into the “Moments” stream. That’s where the real user-to-user sharing takes place! Paid “Moments Ads” in WeChat are very expensive...and recent feedback is showing them to be decreasing in effectiveness. Creating a great piece of sharable content is much more cost effective. Visuals Shared to “Moments”

  • 42. Guest Editors 08Bring in outside influencers to curate content.
  • 43. Invite a Guest Editor to Co-Create. KOLs are typically used to send/spread brand contents into their accounts (to build reach). Why not bring them inside, to add more depth/value? Invite KOL/Influencers into your official account to curate/create. Guest editor to write 1-2 stories …decide on theme for the week.  Guest editor could also introduce a city/favorite thing/style. Stories published into the Brand’s official account ...and spread further thru the KOL account to amplify.
  • 44. Questions into Content 09Start taking relationships with followers seriously by listening/responding.
  • 45. Audience Questions = Valuable Content Instead of guessing what your audiences are looking for, ask ...then respond well. Audiences are looking for answers. They also want to know the community. STARBUCKS Social Listening (Questions answered well!) VOGUE Surveys/Polls = Infographics. Very sharable content from the community.
  • 46. Content On-Location 10Bring customers, influencers and KOLs to your shops to co-create content.
  • 47. Content Created On Location. Working with customers, influencers and KOLs, brands can merchandise products in a fun, relevant way. Let them take your products out for a spin and show it off!

  • 50. Content quality is key as WeChat becomes more mature. Relevant, compelling, visual content is a MUST! Its time to experiment more with other formats of video/motion- graphics, similar to whats hot on mobile social networks like Snapchat in the US. While (text) stories have a strong place in WeChat, more visual, interactive formats will win out. Brands who have already attained large follower numbers on WeChat, should be looking to install CMS/CRM systems which provide segmentation and tagging. Brands must also begin creating content in realtime - in response to events/trends - based on the themes, locations and the focused audience segments that matter. Prepared by Totem Media Summary
