In 2025, public traffic is expensive and fleeting — the real money is in private domain. Foreign companies that build owned audiences on WeChat achieve unbreakable growth.
1. Private Domain Foundation Architecture
1.1 Four-Layer WeChat Ecosystem Complete Stack: Official Account (content) + Mini-Program (transactions) + Enterprise WeChat (1-on-1 service) + Video Account (livestream). Power: Fully integrated systems deliver 800% higher LTV than platform-only strategies.
2. Membership & SOP System
2.1 Tiered Paid Membership Launch 2025 Standard: ¥99–¥999 annual memberships with exclusive perks, early access, and personal advisor service. Retention: Foreign health and beauty companies report 5–7× higher 12-month retention.
3. Content-to-Conversion Engine
3.1 Daily Moments + Weekly Livestream Rhythm: 5–7 daily educational posts + 3 weekly interactive livestreams + monthly VIP events. Conversion: Top foreign companies close 8–15% of private domain members monthly.
4. Community-Led Growth Loops
4.1 Referral & Reward Mechanics Virality: Offer ¥100–¥300 credits for every successful referral that joins membership. Scale: Leading foreign companies grow private domain 30–50% monthly via referrals alone.
