More about Little Red Book/Xiaohongshu
Open a Little Red Book Official Account
The very first step is to register in the Little Red Book’s system (小红书入驻平台) as a merchant or a company. Registering on the app can be somewhat complicated, lots of paperwork has to be done in Chinese. After registering, you’ll need to wait for approbation before you can start publishing or selling as an official. If you want to avoid paperwork and doing mistakes that would probably cost you your place on the platform, hiring a Xiaohongshu agency like ours that knows the system is probably the safest and fastest option for you.

Marketing Campaigns on Little Red Book
XiaoHongShu’s community is driven by the opinions of influencers, whether they are KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) with large followings or KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers) who provide more niche, authentic reviews. We help you create a balanced strategy using both types of influencers to build credibility and engagement.
- KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders):
We help you collaborate with top influencers on XiaoHongShu, ensuring their endorsements are authentic and align with your brand’s voice. KOLs bring mass visibility and can introduce your brand to a wide audience quickly. - KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers):
We also work with smaller influencers who provide in-depth reviews of your product. These reviews are highly trusted by users and create a sense of authenticity. By working with KOCs, your brand gains trust from the ground up.
This multi-tiered approach ensures that you build both reach and trust, essential elements for a strong presence on XiaoHongShu.
Xiaohongshu has become one of the best places for KOL campaigns. It has been built around reviewing and a lot of KOLs and influencers have flourished on the platform.
We have a KOL-dedicated team that will run cost-efficient KOL campaigns for you. It’s possible because of our partnerships with various Chinese influencers and our expertise. These campaigns can take different forms: reviews, live streams, short videos, banners, etc. When it comes to e-commerce, as your Xiaohongshu agency, we will help you develop promotional campaigns following the Chinese holidays and busy periods. We make you take part in the RED store promotional activities.

Little Red Book Store (XiaoHongShu E-commerce)
XiaoHongShu’s e-commerce component is more of a boutique experience compared to larger platforms like Tmall or Douyin. While it’s not the primary driver of sales, it can still be a valuable touchpoint for users to explore and purchase your products directly.
Our agency helps brands set up their XiaoHongShu e-commerce presence, ensuring that product listings are visually appealing and user-friendly. This integration allows you to offer a seamless shopping experience to users who are already engaged with your content. While sales volumes might not be as high as other platforms, it adds another layer of visibility and credibility to your brand.

Advertising on XiaoHongShu

XiaoHongShu, also known as Little Red Book, is a highly visual, lifestyle-oriented social media platform primarily focused on beauty, fashion, travel, and other lifestyle-related content.

It also includes an e-commerce component where users can purchase products directly. Learn more about the app in our Xiaohongshu Guide.
Is XiaoHongShu the right platform for my brand if we are not in the beauty or fashion industry?
While XiaoHongShu is particularly popular in the beauty and fashion sectors, it’s growing in other areas like travel, fitness, lifestyle, and wellness.

Our agency will help you assess if it’s the right fit for your market.

+60% of the users are women between 18 and 35 from 1st-tier cities. The best-selling category is cosmetics. Clothing is getting more popular.
Why do I need to verify my brand’s account on XiaoHongShu?
A verified (certified) account is crucial on XiaoHongShu to establish credibility with users. Unverified accounts often appear unofficial, making consumers skeptical of the brand’s authenticity. Our agency ensures that your brand goes through the proper certification process to gain trust and provide a professional appearance, which is especially important for foreign brands entering the Chinese market.
How do KOLs and KOCs work on XiaoHongShu, and should I work with them?
KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) and KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers) are influential figures who can drive trust and engagement for your brand. KOLs have larger followings and can quickly boost visibility, while KOCs, though smaller, are often seen as more authentic and trustworthy by users. At GMA, we help you find the right mix of KOLs and KOCs to create a balanced strategy, building both reach and credibility.

How does e-commerce work on XiaoHongShu, and can I expect significant sales from it?
