How Does Paid Marketing Work on WeChat?
WeChat advertising includes 4 types: Moment ads, banner ads, mini-program ads, and KOL (Key Opinion Leader) banner ads.
Moment, banner, and mini-program ads are priced by Cost Per Click (CPC) or Cost Per 1,000 Impressions (CPM), varying by location, niche, and competition. KOL banner ads, featuring influencers, are pricier and depend on the influencer and niche.
Brands must be registered companies in Mainland China with industry licenses to advertise on WeChat.
How Much Does Marketing Cost on WeChat?
WeChat advertising costs vary by ad type, such as Moment ads, banner ads, KOL banner ads, or mini-program ads, as well as by niche and target location.
Advertising in Tier 1 cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou can be up to twice as expensive as in Tier 2 or 3 cities like Wenzhou, Haikou, or Shaoxing.
Targeting Chinese users outside of China (New Zealand, Australia, the UK, or the US) will generally cost as much as advertising in Tier 1 cities.
Currently, overseas businesses are allowed to open a WeChat Business Account for paid advertising – without the need to apply for licenses.
Who is the Target Audience on WeChat?
WeChat’s global user base includes Chinese speakers from Mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, and more, totaling over 1.3 billion users. Its influence is growing as foreigners increasingly engage with Chinese culture.
In regions like Singapore and Malaysia, where many speak Mandarin due to early 20th-century migration, WeChat is a key communication tool alongside Western apps. Chinese students and professionals abroad also use WeChat, making it ideal for brands targeting overseas Chinese communities.
The user demographics are diverse: 14% are 25-30, 22% are 31-40, and 19% are 41-50. This range makes WeChat a valuable platform for various industries, including pharmacies and restaurants.
