If you are considering adding Weibo marketing to your marketing mix this year, you don’t want to miss this video discussion.
In Part 1 of the interview, Hong shares how Sina Weibo is different from Western social networks such as Twitter and Facebook.
“Weibo has evolved beyond Twitter to become a microblogging platform filled with social networking features.”
In China, Sina Weibo is also different from its competitor Tencent’s QQ Weibo, he adds, and explains the key difference.
In Part 2 of the interview: Hong deep dives into how brand marketers could use Weibo marketing for social branding, social CRM, and social commerce via the Enterprise Weibo account.
When asked if Sina has tackled the issue of the large number of Zombie fans on the platform, Hong said marketers should focus on measuring engagement and fan value instead of the number of fans only.
