Unleash the Power of Customer Service Messaging on Xiaohongshu

Today’s consumers, especially Gen Z, are increasingly looking for emotional connections and engaging experiences throughout their shopping journey. They actively compare products, seek peer recommendations, and initiate direct interactions with brands before finalizing a purchase.

A striking 90% of posts on XHS are organic user-generated content (UGC), with over 61% of users actively seeking authentic consumer experiences before making a purchase. Private messaging exemplifies this trend, as XHS data reveals a remarkable 77% YoY increase in private message inquiries in 2024.

- During Purchase: Offer tailored recommendations via private messages to alleviate decision-making barriers and boost conversions.
- After Purchase: Strengthen customer relationships with personalized follow-ups, thereby enhancing loyalty and lifetime value.
