Introduction
Chinese enterprise buyers ignore generic brochures but devour content that solves specific pain points in their language and context. Here are the exact content types and distribution tactics that consistently outperform everything else on China’s B2B platforms.
- WeCom Channel Content Engine
1.1 Daily Technical Insight Posts Short articles (800–1,200 characters) answering common questions like “How to select the correct servo motor for a 5-axis CNC in high-humidity environments?” build follower counts of 50,000+ qualified engineers within 12 months.
1.2 Weekly Customer Story Carousels Nine-picture posts showing problem → solution → results with real Chinese factory photos achieve 10,000+ views and 300–600 inquiries per post. - Platform-Native Rich Media Listings
2.1 1688 Detail Page Video Placement The first 15 seconds must state the exact application scenario—videos following this rule achieve 5–8× higher click-through to inquiry than product-only listings.
2.2 JD Industrial “Smart Selection” Modules Interactive comparison tables that auto-recommend products based on buyer inputs increase add-to-cart rates by over 300%. - Live Streaming for Technical Selling
3.1 Scheduled Factory Live Tours Monthly live broadcasts from actual production lines (or Chinese customer sites) attract 3,000–15,000 professional viewers per session and generate immediate quote requests.
3.2 Engineer-Led Q&A Sessions 45-minute live streams where application engineers answer real-time technical questions convert 20–30% of attendees into WeCom contacts.
