WeChat for Business : 7 Things to Consider 2017-01-11 thatcontentguy Lobang Today, we’ll zoom in on some vital information to take note of if you are considering WeChat for business purposes. 1. Official Account: Service vs. Subscription accounts To start off, you’ll need to create an Official Account, and unlike Facebook and Twitter where you can easily create a free account by yourself, there’s an application & verification process involved which takes up to 7 working days for approval. You’ll also need to choose between a Service or Subscription account (only available in China). Service account If your brand is more product-centric, i.e. you are setting up an account with an objective to drive product sales, then Service Account is the way to go. A Service Account consists of business services such as mobile payments and other features such as user management capabilities. Subscription account If your objective is towards driving brand awareness and less of selling, then you should be looking at a Subscription Account.

Thus the challenge is for brands to create content that is enticing enough for users to keep checking back proactively. 2.
