  2. .Executive Summary In Q1 2024, the Hong Kong Tourism Board reported a 154% growth in visitors and Mainland China tourist made up almost 80% of the total visitors to the city. The Hong Kong Tourism Board estimates that visitor arrivals from Mainland China are expected to reach 46 million by the end of 2024 and the Hong Kong government has budgeted HK$1.5 billion to promote Hong Kong as a destination for ‘high- value tourists’. This presents a golden opportunity for Hong Kong retailers to regain their competitive edge and drive sustainable growth. To capitalize on this opportunity, Hong Kong retail companies must adapt their strategies to better attract, engage, and drive spend from this invaluable consumer segment.

  3. This whitepaper explores the importance of implementing a comprehensive clienteling solution integrating WhatsApp and WeChat, most used apps in Hong Kong & Mainland, to enhance shopping experience for local and inbound consumers in Hong Kong.

Integrating WeChat Mini-Programs for Seamless Engagement To effectively deliver a customer centric experience for Mainland consumers, retailers should design an integrated experience comprising three key mini-programs – member centre, ecommerce and retail clienteling. Member centre typically consists of functions of a member portal where customers can check their profile, transaction history, loyalty tier, points, rewards and link to the online store (ecommerce mini-program). WeChat clienteling is a mini-program used by sales associates to manage opportunities, tasks, recommend products and communicate (SMS, call, WeChat, WhatsApp etc) withcustomersin a singleenvironment.

Meanwhile, customers can access personal loyalty profile, rewards and redemptions in Member Centre. They can also browse products on ecommerce and chat with pre-assignedsalesassociatesdirectly. Enhanced Engagement and Loyalty: Given the customer data insights and AI product recommendations, sales associates can provide more personalised retail experience to enhance customerloyalty. Integrated Communications: An important function in Clienteling is the integrated communication message centre where retail sales and send WeChat, WhatsApp, SMS or call customers.

Robust Data Analytics: With all the data from Member Centre, Ecommerce and Clienteling centralised in data management platform, retailer brands can now apply data analytics to obtain business insights to achieve operational efficiency and sales goals. CRM marketers can design targeted campaigns at customer segments without guess-work and measure results accurately to achieve improved ROI. Conclusion As the retail landscape in Hong Kong prepares for a resurgence in Mainland Chinese tourism, the implementation of a robust clienteling solution integrated with WeChat mini-programs presents a strategic imperative for success. By leveraging personalized data-driven insights and seamless WeChat-based engagement, Hong Kong retailers can cultivate stronger relationships, increase customerloyalty, and drive sustainablegrowth in thepost-pandemicera.
