For merchant promotion, what you really need is more than just more page views.
More importantly, after customers see a merchant, can they quickly learn about the brand, find products, build trust, and smoothly complete the next step?
If customers have to look for information across multiple platforms, repeatedly ask about prices, or wait for the merchant to send payment methods, they may give up along the way.
The WeiCity merchant channel connects discovery, learning, selection, ordering, and payment in one entry point, making the customer's path simpler.
So, how do customers go from first seeing a merchant to gradually completing an order?
📍 Customers may first come across your brand in different ways.
They may be looking for nearby restaurants, retail stores, or services, or they may see your channel link on social media, in chat groups, on flyers, or in your physical store.
Customers can find merchants through the following entry points:
• WeiCity nearby merchants and local discovery
• Articles, products, and promotions published by merchants
• Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
• WhatsApp messages and customer groups
• Google Business Profile and other web pages
• Store QR codes, menus, and flyers
• Channel links shared by friends
Different promotion channels are responsible for bringing attention, while the merchant channel is responsible for welcoming these customers.
🏪 After entering the channel, customers usually quickly judge a few questions:
• What kind of merchant is this?
• What products or services does the merchant offer?
• Is it located in my area?
• Are the products or services suitable for me?
• How should I contact or buy?
For this reason, the merchant channel needs to clearly display the brand name, merchant introduction, products and services, location, business hours, and contact details.
If customers can immediately find this information after entering the page, they are more likely to keep browsing.
If the information is incomplete, the sections are disorganized, or it has not been updated for a long time, customers may leave quickly as well.
📝 Customers do not necessarily buy right away the first time they see a product.
They may want to understand how a product is used, the service process, the brand story, or read other customers' experiences.
Merchants can use content to answer questions customers have before buying, such as:
• How should I choose a product?
• How long does the service process take?
• Who is the product suitable for?
• What are the highlights of the dishes?
• Does the merchant have relevant experience?
• What results did other customers get?
Suitable content includes:
• Brand story
• Product introduction
• Instructions for use
• Professional knowledge
• Customer stories
• Frequently asked questions
• New product news
• Events and promotions
Valuable content is not only for gaining views, but also for providing help before customers make a decision.
🛍️ Once customers become interested, the next step is usually to view specific products, menus, or services.
Merchants should make it easy for customers to find:
• A clear product name
• Product or service introduction
• Actual prices
• Multiple clear photos
• Colors, sizes, or other specifications
• Stock status
• Delivery or pickup method
• Conditions of use and important notes
Retail merchants can display different product specifications; restaurant merchants can publish menus and add-on options; service merchants can organize service content and cases; course providers can introduce courses and trial content.
The more complete the information, the fewer questions customers need to ask, and the faster they can make a choice.
🎟️ Some customers are already interested in a product but still need a reason to take action.
Merchants can encourage customers to take the next step in the following ways:
• Free coupons
• Product discounts
• Limited-time promotions
• New customer offers
• Holiday promotions
• Pre-sale products
• In-store collection benefits
Promotions should clearly state the applicable products, conditions of use, and validity period to avoid misunderstandings.
The purpose of a promotion is not simply to lower prices, but to give customers who are considering a purchase a reason to act immediately.
💳 After customers decide to buy, the process should be as simple as possible.
In the WeiCity merchant channel, customers can complete the following steps according to how the product is set up:
• Choose a product
• Choose color, size, or other specifications
• Choose add-ons or combo sets
• Confirm quantity
• Add to cart
• Choose delivery or in-store pickup
• Choose a scheduled pickup time
• Completing online payment
When the purchase process is clear, customers don't have to jump between multiple pages or wait for the merchant to send prices and payment details one by one.
The fewer steps it takes to go from viewing a product to completing an order, the easier it is for customers to complete a purchase.
🤝 After an order is completed, merchants can still keep building their relationship with customers.
Customers can follow the merchant channel to keep up with new products, content and offers.
Merchants can also keep updating:
• New products and new menus
• Limited-time offers
• Festival promotions
• How-to tutorials
• Brand story
• Customer stories
• Business hours changes
When customers want to buy again, they can go straight back to a familiar channel without having to look for the merchant's information again.
This helps turn one-time customers into long-term customers.
Merchants can check whether their channel has done the following:
• Clear and complete merchant introduction
• Clearly categorized products and services
• Authentic and appealing images
• Prices, specifications and stock kept up to date
• Business area and contact details easy to find
• Offer conditions clearly explained
• Simple ordering and payment steps
• Every piece of content includes a clear call to action
• Channel link shared on main promotion platforms
• QR codes displayed at physical stores and on promotional materials
Every unnecessary step removed may help more customers move on to the next step.
From seeing a merchant to completing an order, customers usually go through a complete path:
• Discovering the merchant
• Entering the channel
• Getting to know the brand
• Viewing content
• Choose a product
• Using offers
• Completing an order
• Coming back again
The WeiCity merchant channel brings these steps together in one entry point, helping merchants turn scattered promotional traffic into customer relationships they can keep growing.
