5 reasons to consider WeChat marketing

1

Grow your brand awareness to a different ethnic base that has a significant population in NZ.

2

Communicate in a way that’s native to Chinese in a medium they use every day – and pay with every day.  Whether they are NZ-born or migrants, it’s the main way Chinese communicate with friends and business colleagues. 

3

Get exposure to large base – approximately 231,387 Chinese live in New Zealand – roughly 5% of the NZ population. Not to mention students and tourists.

4

WeChat is one the most trusted channels – among a sceptical audience.

5

Get direct contact with interested parties – build your own client database.

Chinese social media

What’s involved in WeChat marketing?

The best long term strategy is to set up an Official WeChat account. This has three tabs and has pages kind of like our version of a website. Businesses need a separate business account, rather than a personal account. Then you’ll create regular posts, and promote them to your account to attract visitors and followers. At some stage, you’ll want to have Chinese speakers on your team.

Connect with Chinese through WeChat

With more than 1.2 billion active users (77% of the Chinese population), WeChat has been the most popular app and social media since it’s release in 2011 by the Chinese internet giant Tencent (HKG:0700). Together with QQ and Qzone, Tencent owns the top three Chinese social media platforms and is the sixth largest internet company in the world after Google, Meta, Alibaba, JD.com and Amazon.
More than 50% of WeChat users spend at least 90 minutes a day on WeChat and a typical user sends out more than 70 messages on WeChat each day.

Social Media Account Establishment & Posts
Tencent requires a rigorous setup process which is not for the faint-hearted! Alexanders will advise you on all the necessary documents for registration and recommend structure/pages for your account. Based on your brief, we will then create a unique client account for your business and translate your content if required or assess any Chinese content you have already. 
Chinese Web Design & Hosting
If you are targeting inbound visitors, rather than translate your existing .co.nz site, we recommend building a Chinese web site that is hosted in Hong Kong, to make it downloadable in China (NZ sites are slow and not generally indexed by Baidu). We can also help to add Chinese language pages to your current site, and add your new WeChat QR code to your site.
