The websites(Html pages) carried in WeChat OA have become a very important information entry.

Retailing should become a full channel in the future. Enterprises need to make it as convenient as possible for consumers to take orders at anytime, anywhere. For example, when someone suddenly wants to buy a clothes when he/she is using WeChat, they could purchase orders directly on WeChat OA of Nike or Prada without jumping out of WeChat, and they don’t every need to download an App or go to the website. This is what the user experience. Therefore, WeChat OA can become one of the channels of enterprise mobile e-commerce.

The value of WeChat OA is just like the slogan of WeChat’s: WeChat is a way of life!
It creates a new communication way between enterprises and customers, discounts and promotions no longer needed. It brings about a change in communication between the two sides. In the past, customers and businesses used contact through advertisements. The appearance of WeChat OA allows users to actively find businesses and keep the good relationship with businesses by personalized engagement to drive business growth. So: the greatest value of the WeChat OA is that it has changed the way of communication!

However, many of enterprises have registered one or even several OAs and posted the QR codes everywhere, they expects users will come in automatically. As a result, only a few hundred or thousands of users after operating for a year and a half. Brand department also working hard, sending content every day, making the OA entirely become into electronic journals or a kind of WeChat daily newspaper.
If the reading rate is not high enough, then add some jokes, chicken soup, success stories, hot topics, these content they may not be interested in reading by themselves, but naively think that users will enjoy it. If the user’s activity is not enough, then designs lots of “campaigns” to activate users which like, forwarding, lucky draw and Golden Egg Breaking Activities. As a result, a group of activists came and went in a hurry.
Although the value of WeChat OA is great to the enterprises, it still needs to make greater efforts to maximize the value of it, which includes the content strategy and update, promotion and maintenance of the WeChat OA in long term. We hope that the enterprises would persevere for a long time, only pay will be rewarded.

If enterprises want to do WeChat marketing, first they need to understand the value of WeChat OA. WeChat OA is not a simple platform, nor is it just a marketing tool. Its appearance to businesses which is an opportunity. If we can fully grasp this opportunity, it will play a huge role in the business growth of enterprise and the development of the Internet market.
