Until now, brands could only have an official account on the platform but since 2017 mini-programs have been put in place by them.
2) What is a weChat mini-program?
For several years now, smartphone users have not downloaded as many apps as they used to. It then became appropriate for Apple Store’s rival, Tencent, to invest in a new ecosystem of applications within its golden egg, WeChat.
A mini-program runs in WeChat and is smaller than a typical app that takes less than 10 megabytes.
Also, these mini-programs are fast and can be developed at a lower cost.
“Mini-programs won’t replace the mobile app as you know it, but they’re very effective in helping apps like games acquire new users.”
3) Launch of mini-programs on WeChat
- When they were launched in January 2017, the media criticism did not last long, but the changes expected on the platform were not clear at this time.
- From the end of 2017, mini-programs have finally started to become popular and even unavoidable.
- WeChat then began publishing mini-games that had become very popular. This much-loved gamification of the Chinese is a smart initiative by WeChat.
Also, with 517 million players, brands use this gamification to raise awareness and convert fans.
You should also know that the release of mini-games combined with the new app update that moved the mini-programs to a bar above the personal messages of users has made the feature much more visible and much more attractive to brands.
We can also remember that a user can launch a mini-program directly from an official account, menu or from the moment they first follow the account.
This is where the difference between a mini-program and an official account lies.
Indeed, the official account is more difficult to find: scanning the QR code, searching for the account ID in WeChat, sharing a contact card.
4) The ads of the creator of WeChat
In January 2018, during a conference in Guangzhou, Allen Zhang, the creator of WeChat made 8 major announcements on the evolution of WeChat.
Of these announcements, we remember that mini-programs will be at the center of the WeChat team this year.
5) Beneficial use of mini-programs by brands
Unlike official accounts, mini-programs allow brands to build fan loyalty. Indeed, mini-programs can be built in a personalized way to better target fans.
Specifically, mini-programs can also offer membership programs, loyalty systems, points or rewards. These new features are strategic as brand loyalty becomes increasingly difficult for consumers.
Choosing between an official account and a mini-program depends on the brand and its marketing strategy needs.

6) Mini-programs and e-commerce
Unlike official accounts, mini-programs allow few links to other platforms but allow for a seamless shopping experience in a mini-program store.

7) Mini-programs and KOLs
Previously, it was very complex for consumers to access e-commerce from WeChat. Now, buyers are more able to access the mini-programs developed by the KOLs and thus buy the products promoted by these influencers.
These mini-programs are therefore a considerable asset in the branding strategy of a company or brand.
Indeed, mini-programs are faster and take up less space than the original application. Also, the cost of creating a mini-program takes less time and money than a standard application.
Finally, it is now possible to insert hyperlinks to send followers to the e-commerce sites of influencers.
