Known as a giant in China, we can say that Tencent is now almost everywhere, especially in the digital industry. Following its desire to target a wider audience, Tencent released in 2011 what is known as the most popular app in China: WeChat. Even though it was supposed to be a messaging app at first, WeChat quickly became the core of a vast ecosystem of services that are now vital in China. In order to understand the impact it has in China, we are going to go through the WeChat ecosystem by analyzing its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Established in 1998, Tencent Holdings Ltd., also known as Tencent (\u817e\u8baf), is a Chinese multinational technology company. Tencent is known for its various Internet-related services and products, which are highly used in entertainment, video games, as well as in artificial intelligence industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tencent is specialized in new technologies and is the world’s largest video game company. The success of Tencent comes from its social media, venture capital, and investment corporations. Thanks to the variety of services it has, such as social networks, music, web portals, e-commerce, mobile games, e-payment, internet services, etc. In China, Tencent is mainly used in instant messengers like WeChat and QQ, web portals like QQ.com, and music services with Tencent Music Entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
In 2018, Tencent\u2019s market value was worth more than US$500 billion, becoming the first Asian technology company to achieve this. Nowadays, Tencent ranks among the world’s top technology companies in terms of market value and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Developed by the famous company Tencent, WeChat<\/a> (known as Weixin \u5fae\u4fe1 in China) was launched in 2011 in Mainland China, and in 2012 in its international version. This app quickly became the world\u2019s largest standalone mobile app, reaching 1 billion monthly active users in 2018. Nowadays, WeChat is boasting over 1.2 billion monthly active users and is part of Chinese people\u2019s daily life. So, as you probably already know, WeChat was a messaging app at first but Tencent saw its potential to reach a wider audience by implementing services directly available through the app. That\u2019s why WeChat is called the \u201csuper app\u201d or \u201cthe app for everything\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, WeChat\u2019s Ecosystem is one of the most complete in the world, providing text messaging with a hold-to-talk functionality, video conferencing, video games, but it also acts like a social media such as Instagram of Facebook with the possibility the share pictures and videos on what is called the \u201cWeChat Moments\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, we can do almost everything just by using a single app that provides a wide variety of services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you plan to do business in China, you will need for sure to use WeChat as part of your marketing strategy.

However, it is not the only way to acquire traffic as you also advertise your brand directly on your WeChat account, or hire a KOL (Key Opinion Leader) who will be in charge of presenting and promoting your products. WeChat is a powerful tool for businesses as it can generate lots of word-of-mouth (the best way to get new customers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to its new technologies innovations in terms of data, Tencent has created its Tencent Data Cloud (\u9a30\u8a0a\u96f2) which can help you interpret and analyze your audience\u2019s online history in order to get a better understanding of their interests and needs. Moreover, thanks to that you\u2019ll be able to optimize your marketing budget, enhance your ability to reach a wider audience, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have already used WeChat, you probably know that mini-programs (\u5fae\u4fe1\u5c0f\u7a0b\u5e8f) are really popular in China. Launched in early 2017, these mini-programs are at the core of Wechat\u2019s ecosystem and highly appreciated by international brands.
