Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Malaysian companies can advertise on Xiaohongshu through certified agency partners like Hashmeta. We hold China-registered business licenses and cross-border e-commerce qualifications that enable us to run ads on behalf of Malaysian brands. This bypasses the geographic restrictions that would otherwise prevent direct access.
We recommend starting at RM5,000/month in ad spend for meaningful data collection and algorithm learning. However, we can structure test campaigns from RM2,000 for brands wanting to validate the channel first. The minimum viable budget depends on your target audience size and competition level in your category.
XHS users have significantly higher purchase intent—they browse specifically to discover and buy products. Content must be native and authentic (not polished ads), requiring deep understanding of Chinese consumer psychology and trending formats. Targeting also differs, requiring expertise in Chinese demographics and interest categories.
Yes, we can geo-fence specific locations including KLIA, major hotels in KLCC and Bukit Bintang, tourist attractions like Petronas Towers, and shopping districts. We layer this with Chinese language targeting, travel interest tags, and device targeting to reach tourists at different journey stages—from pre-arrival planning to in-country spending.
Absolutely. Our KL and Singapore teams include native Mandarin speakers and XHS-native content creators who understand trending formats, copywriting nuances, and cultural references. We produce creatives that feel authentic to the platform—not translated ads that stand out as foreign.
