In today’s internet era, many shop owners feel that business is getting harder. In fact, it is not that difficult: find the right approach and keep up with the times, and running a store becomes easier and easier. A brick-and-mortar shop can have its own mini program, making purchases more convenient and time-saving for customers. Below is an introduction to the benefits of a WeChat mini program for physical stores; we hope it helps.
1. Lower operating costs
A mini program lets a merchant open a second shop right in users’ hands, presenting products and services in more detail on mobile, and running all kinds of marketing activities at far lower cost than traditional offline campaigns. It is a platform the merchant owns outright, with no fees paid to third parties. For merchants and physical stores alike, this is a major benefit.
2. Meeting customer needs
A mini program is simple and clear, can interoperate with the company’s WeChat official account, and lets users find the merchant’s location directly. Customers can place orders online from their phones, which is very convenient.
3. Converting traffic
The mobile phone has become the biggest traffic entry point in commerce. A mini program links online and offline operations, truly combining e-commerce with store commerce. Offline customers can pay, transact and become members through the mini program, enjoying points and offers, while online users can find the shop through map positioning and visit quickly.
4. A change in how business works
Traditional retail stores used to wait for customers to walk in, and the reach of a physical store is very small. With a WeChat mini program, a shop can cover the surrounding few kilometres. Ordering through the mini program is faster than traditional e-commerce and more convenient than travelling to the store in person.
