WeChat Social CRM Strategy in China (sCRM) - 31Ten Shanghai Digital Agency

Keeping it Social -
What to Consider
When Implementing a
WeChat Social CRM
Strategy in China
(sCRM)
MAY 2019

Executive Summary
The maturity of sCRM platforms is unique to China
● In the West, social CRM solutions are merely connectors
allowing CRM / marketing automation platforms to
leverage social data and engage social media contacts
● With the near absence of emails and SMS in China as
marketing channels, many brands started their CRM
strategy with WeChat as the main hub
● sCRMs developed into sophisticated customer data and
marketing automation platforms as a consequence
The frontier between sCRM and CRM is increasingly
blurring, and their convergence is ineluctable
● Most Brands have hit the limits of WeChat for customer
acquisition, and need a unified picture of their customers
across all their channels
● Most mature sCRM platforms are gradually turning into
omni channel first party data platforms including
transactional data
Standalone sCRM, or CRM + sCRM?
● If most of your Chinese customers are acquired through
digital channels, chances a standalone sCRM will cover
most of your customer management needs. Combining
offline and online will require to interface a CRM and a
social CRM, and precisely define their respective roles
Off the shelf solution or custom-made?
● While a tailor made solution gives you full control over
the features, the extra benefits of fully custom needs to
create enough ROI to justify the added cost (capex and
opex) versus a solution off the shelf
People over tools
● Focus your investment on building skills and a data
culture before the tools: you can buy or build the best
race car, it will collect dust in a garage if you don’t have a
pilot to drive it

CRM sCRM Recommendation
Customer data
repository
Transactional: omni channel purchases
Behavioral: omni channel
Transactional: WeChat store purchases (native
store, Mini Program, H5)
Behavioral: all WeChat official account data
points (menu clicks, chat interactions, reads
etc.)
Standalone sCRM: go for a mature solution
allowing to consolidate transactional data
sCRM + CRM: send WeChat transactional data
and key behavioral flags to CRM (e.g. repeated
product page visits, cart abandonment etc.)
Marketing automation
Segmentation and targeting using a 360 omni
channel view of the customer
Segmentation and targeting based on social
data
Highest risk of redundancy. Avoid setting up
automatic journeys and logic at both CRM and
sCRM level. Real time automation with
WeChat as a communication hub will require
the logic to be managed at sCRM level
Communications
campaigns & delivery
management
SMS, MMS, Email, WeChat via sCRM
connection
WeChat messaging: broadcasts, templated
messages, Mini Program service notifications
Omni channel communication campaigns
management typically requires CRM + sCRM
as a connector for WeChat communications
Clienteling Centralized customer profile management Limited to social data and transactions Still typically a CRM feature
Analytics
360 transactional and behavioral clustering,
RFM analysis
Social engagement clustering and analysis
Centralized and fully omni channel Business
Intelligence most often still requires dedicated
BI layers (powerBI, Tableau)
What piece will an sCRM play in your China digital puzzle?
With sCRMs maturing very quickly and converging towards fully blown omni channel CRMs, a key challenge is to decide if you need a standalone sCRM, a CRM +
sCRM as a connector, and what functions each tool will occupy to avoid creating redundancies.

Increasing need of making the
WeChat user journey personal

Competing for a user's time on WeChat is
fierce. WeChat users spend a specific
amount of time on their screens depending
on their daily routines. Many official
accounts compete for that same window of
time.

The more content out there, the more segmented Chinese users become, resulting in lower reading rates.

The hard part is over. You have a follower,
but now you have to serve the follower.
It’s essential to understand what the
follower is looking for in your account.
Users search for two diﬀerent types of
content: useful or entertaining content. If
your account does not meet your
follower's expectations, expect them to
lose interest.
When talking about oﬃcial accounts, we
should also remember to factor in the
services provided.

An sCRM is a tool that generates, manages, enriches, and nurtures social contacts by connecting with your Social Media
Channels, primarily WeChat. They typically also help you to directly create, manage and track assets for social media
channels (H5 mini site builders, event management, live streaming etc.)
Enrich
Determine follower/user preferences based on their
interactions with your social media content. Blind the real
identity of the user and collect other data points which are
not generated by the social media platform (e.g., real name,
phone number, accurate location, email, etc.)
Nurture
Create a custom communication channel with each of your
followers/users by leveraging your knowledge of them.
Provide content tailored to the follower/user’s specific
interests and recontact identified customers through their
social media channels. When an MQL becomes an SQL, the
sCRM can forward the lead to sales..
Create
Manage official account, generate resources, official
account service infrastructure (e.g., H5 pages, QR codes,
manage campaigns, manage live streaming, etc.)
Generate
Creates basic follower/user profile based on social media
ID and available information. This profile is the core unit of
the sCRM.
Manage
Organized view of your followers/users, segment with tags,
source, group, and ability to bulk select/change
Extent of each feature depends on the selected tool

Social CRM is the integration of social
media platforms with traditional CRM.
● Richer follower profile
○ Enrich followers profile with social
media behavior, marketing efforts
and other sources.
● Richer Segmentation
○ Segment followers based on the data
points available on sCRM; tags,
groups, events, etc.
● Improved communication
○ Follower segmentation will allow you
to communicate effectively with each
follower.

Understand customers and prospects
better by binding existing profiles; this will
not only provide you insight on what your
customers and prospects but will allow
you to improve communication with your
followers.
Level 1: Enrich Follower profile and
understanding by collecting behavior and
personal information on social media.
Level 2: Bind Social Media Follower with
CRM and other tools, understand follower
/prospect /customer better by having
previous interactions with the brand with
data collected on social media.

The more information you collect from the follower/prospect/customer, the more insightful groups can be created. A
sCRM will allow you to collect social media behavior information, and this will add a new dimension when it comes to
segmentation.

With improved segmentation, proper
communication can take place. Marketing
automation can be set up, allowing one to
build a unique relationship with each
follower based on their interactions.

A 360º view would integrate users interactions with the brand on all its touchpoints, as long as user identification is possible
profile enrichment and a holistic user view is possible.
This is an example of what binding would look like with a three touchpoint business, although the number of touchpoints is
virtually limitless.

To build or not to build your own sCRM
3rd Party sCRM
Pros
● Tested solution
● Solution ready to implement immediately.
● Continuous optimization, updates with new WeChat features and maintenance
● No need for an in-house development team dedicated to building a solution.
● Upgrades can come from different industries and provide value to your vertical.
● WeChat has a limited number of dimensions which are all covered in current
solutions
Cons
● Yearly license cost (although to recoup the costs of home-brewed it usually takes
several years of licence)
● Tying yourself up with a vendor.
● Potential poor flexibility of the solution if there are very unique business
requirements.
Time
● Can be fully implemented and go live as early as 2 weeks (sCRM has different
implementation time and the full setup time depends on its own complexity)
Build your own sCRM
Pros
● Tailored solution: Full control and the possibility of customization of the design,
development, and features of the interface and functionalities needed.
● Do not depend on any vendor.
Cons
● Takes time to develop a custom solution.
● Development team needed to build, optimize, maintain, and upgrade solution.
● Upgrades come from the team, no external inputs
● Need to involve all teams or different expertise such as design, development,
marketing instead of mostly marketing if you have a 3rd party solution
Time
● Needed functions will probably take from 400-600 working hours to develop the
setup (design, development, QA, marketing) as well as ongoing maintenance later
on.

Having a platform like this in-house enables marketers to control their
digital platforms and build and tailor stories and ﬂows. This is typically
something that if you don’t have a marketing automation tool, you would
have to pay an agency anywhere from 5 to 10K each month to manually
set up. In order to have experimentation, maintain control over digital
experiences, and not be bullied by agencies, it’s essential to have a
marketing automation platform with WeChat integrated.

Implementing any new tool might
represent a signiﬁcant investment for a
business, which at the bottom line needs
to be a positive ROI.
Before starting the process of the tool, you
will need to be aligned with what everyone
wants and understand how to proceed.
There will be a couple of steps to cover.
Step 1- Align Stakeholders
Step 2- Determine Goal
Step 3- Select KPIs
Step 4- Translate to functionalities

Custom features vs. out of the box features
They are different types of tools based on how flexible
(Flexibility: Customization Capability) they are. The more
flexible a tool is, the more resources needed to set up - the
lesser the flexibility, the fewer resources required for set-up
and to manage the tool.
Based on your sCRM operations plan it might be important
to consider tools with pre-existing modules for B2B and B2C.
Based on your operation structure this module could save
you time and money.
Some out of the box features that will save you resources if
the operation is in-house:

The challenge of sCRM is to come up
with a unique digital strategy that
translates the brand, its values &
personality into a data-driven
engagement: a signature customer
experience. For most brands, an
off-the-shelf solution simply won’t do
the job.

While choosing where and how the sCRM you select goes, it’s essential to keep in mind which tools will help it exchange
information and how this exchange will look. While the placement of the sCRM might not be up to you-you need to keep in

sCRM High Level Setup Checklist

A few of my takeaways:
● More than spending big bucks in a platform, invest in an analyst that has both the brain power
to use the platform to its full potential and the dedication to run a marathon with it. sCRM
requires time, dedication and a clear purpose.
● Clarify your goals and make them signiﬁcant: how does WeChat make a difference for your
business? If you’re not sure, segmenting users and delivering personalization isn’t going to
make a difference. If your goals are not clear enough, you won’t talk to the right stakeholders.
Don’t analyze everything yourself - ask questions & leverage your data to get the right answers.
● Make it a cross-functional project: start with a quick win, show results and get other teams
onboard with you. Instead of pointing ﬁngers at low performers, data should empower teams.
Also, to close the iterative cycle, you will need to bring a content team, designers, business
getters and data people on board.
