Why does Live Commerce on WeChat have a higher conversion rate?
WeChat is a platform based on Private Traffic. However, through the special recommendation mechanism of WeChat Channel, the diffusion of content from Private Traffic to “Relative Public Traffic” can be achieved.

1. A Large Number of Chinese Users
As the largest Chinese social platform, WeChat has a very large number of daily active users (DAU), almost including user groups of all ages. And just because these users have a high degree of trust in the WeChat platform, the emerging model of digital marketing such as Live Commerce can be widely involved.
2. High Customer Stickiness
Most of the official accounts and communities on WeChat are based on private traffic, which can accumulate a group of customers with high stickiness. This will not only promote conversions but also spread within the platform and achieve fission marketing.
3. Closed-Loop Marketing
Merchants can build their own digital stores within the WeChat platform, which allows customers to complete online orders directly while or after watching the live broadcast. This marketing model will provide users a smooth online shopping experience, preventing the loss of traffic to other platforms at the same time.
