What is Xiaohongshu?
Xiaohongshu (小红书) also known as “Little Red Book” or “Rednote” is one of the largest and fastest growing social e- commerce apps in China.
Xiaohongshu describes itself as “a sharing platform for young people's lifestyles through deep-rooted UGC shopping sharing community
The platform is designed to help users discover and purchase products, share recommendations, and provide helpful tips.
Users often go on Xiaohongshu to investigate products and look for in-depth reviews and tutorials created by other users.
Think of Xiaohongshu as a combination of Instagram and Pinterest. Just like both platforms, you can save posts you like, interact with content and other users, create your own content, connect with brand pages etc. But with Xiaohongshu, you get the added bonus of in-app purchasing, a stronger sense of community, and more lengthy, detailed blog-post type content.









Brand Official Account
If you are an overseas brand and are trying to test the waters in the China market or improve your brand visibility, you may want to consider setting up a Brand Official Account.
Most brands are already familiar with WeChat Official Accounts, however, operating a WeChat Official Account can be costly and it is increasingly difficult to grow a following.
An alternative option is to open an Official Brand Account on Xiaohongshu which has relatively lower costs and offers the ability to connect with a more targeted customer base.
Brand official accounts benefit both brands who sell products on XHS as well as those who simply want to use the platform to build awareness and interact with their customers.
If users are already talking about your products on XHS, a brand account allows you to respond to comments and turn enquiries into purchases.
In cases where there is no Brand Official Account, these questions are left unanswered and
result in the possible loss of potential customers for the brand.
