WeChat is without a doubt one of the best marketing tools for businesses trying to establish themselves within the Chinese market, and in this day and age, a strong social media presence is a must for businesses trying to gain recognition.
WeChat is pretty much the first place a consumer in China will look for a product, therefore it’s imperative that if you wish to sell in China, you must have a WeChat Official page.
A WeChat official account is essentially a business or enterprise account that acts as your brand hub, bringing together your followers, blogs, videos, ads, mini programs, circles, and more, all in one platform.
It takes about 2-3 weeks to set up a WeChat official account assuming everything goes smoothly with the WeChat verification process. You will need a business license (either Chinese or foreign) along with other supporting documentation if requested.
