The Brief
Goyard approached Digital Business Lab to enhance effective interaction and communication with clients in both online & offline retail stores.
Since the brand did not have an official website in China, the initial challenge encountered was that the frontline team at the store was struggling to communicate with clients.
The Solution
In less than one month, Digital Business Lab successfully converted Goyard’s product catalog into a WeChat Mini Program on their official WeChat account, and CMS development for clients to update and edit product information easily in the future.
Ultimately, interaction can be more effective on digital as the Mini Program can be shared easily by the retail team to their clients, encouraging active use of the Mini Program in both online and offline situations.

💡 WeChat Mini Program – New eCommerce channel in China:
- Keep your customers informed online and offline: By converting a brand product catalog into a Mini Program, interaction can be more effective on digital as it can be shared from retail team to clients, so as to inform loyal clients about new product releases.
- Tap into massive MAU: Embedded within the WeChat ecosystem, mini-programs are lightweight sub-applications that don’t have to be installed and can range from live streaming to shopping. Thanks to the app’s massive social network, brands on WeChat can potentially tap into its 1.2 billion monthly active users (6 out of 10 WeChat users using mini-program).
- Quick & cost-effective development: WeChat MPs have lower development costs. Developers can be built with WeChat’s framework using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Since mini-programs exist in the WeChat ecosystem, there are limited space to create, keeping the functions simple & sweet.
- A final tip from our experts: The upload of the product will be reflected on the mini-program in real-time (without any WeChat review). Thus we recommend updating during mid-night China time to avoid disruption of the mini program usage.
