Xiaohongshu, also known as Little Red Book, It’s one of the largest and fastest growing social e-commerce apps in China, and unlike other e-commerce platforms, it started as a community where users can post product photos with reviews and tips for other users to read, comment, and save to their boards.
It describes itself as “a sharing platform for young people's lifestyles through deep-rooted UGC shopping sharing community”. But now this community has became what is known as a cross-border social e-commerce platform, threatening Chinese giants such as Taobao, JD, etc. This platform is designed to help users discover and purchase products, share recommendations, and provide helpful tips. Users often go on Xiaohongshu to investigate products and look for in-depth reviews and tutorials created by other users. Think of Xiaohongshu as a combination of Instagram and Pinterest.
