WeChat official revealed,In the past year, the material coverage rate in key business districts for tourists visiting South Korea has increased from 30% to 75%.If you go to South Korea now, you will find more and more WeChat QR codes in the streets and alleys. It is understood that this was done by M Company, a local promotion service provider. This company has 7 people who only do one thing: paste WeChat QR codes all over Korean stores.
The person in charge of the company is called Robin. He has been to Shanghai before. The development and changes of Chinese society have also affected his career choice.
Company M currently has three employees each in Seoul and Jeju Island. The entire company now has only one business, focusing on WeChat payment.
However, promoting WeChat QR codes in South Korea has not been smooth sailing.Many Korean stores are not familiar with WeChat payment and think that QR codes are of no use to them and they can do business normally without QR codes.
They will repeatedly communicate with merchants and introduce preferential activities that can help attract more Chinese customers to the store.
At the same time, in order to prevent merchants who cannot read Chinese from mistaking it for a fraudulent advertisement, they communicated with the WeChat payment team and added a Korean explanation on the QR code material that this is a "QR code that provides discounts to Chinese tourists."
