Taking LV as an example, when a user enters LV in the search bar, the first column of the search results is the entrance to the official LV boutique. After entering, you can view the surrounding LV stores and phone numbers, and display the latest activities, product categories, selected products and other information in turn. There are no more than 6 products recommended on the entire page, the picture is simple and the information is clear. If you click further, WeChat will jump to the official website of LV China. Consumers will complete online shopping, information inquiry and other functions in the official website of the brand. The service and purchase steps are the same as the official website, but only WeChat payment can be used. Brands such as Nike, Zara, Swarovski are similar to LV. If you purchase, you must jump from the WeChat site to the official brand website to complete it. (Source: Interface News)

　　Today's Lao Gao's opinion

　　Whether social marketing is important or IP is important has always been controversial. Although most companies want to have both, it is difficult to do without precipitation. Alibaba is a brand, Jack Ma is an IP; Apple is a brand, Jobs is an IP; WeChat is a brand, Zhang Xiaolong is an IP, Xiaomi is a brand, Lei Jun is an IP; Gree is a brand, Dong Mingzhu is an IP... These brands may have experienced several generations, but IP will not, because people will grow old, the market will change, and consumers will change their tastes. IP is an indispensable part of a company, especially innovative companies. Which of the new brands now has IP first: Heytea, Dirty Bag, Chu Orange, Penguin and Mao, Funiutang... First Shu (Stand) the brand or first make IP, what do you think?
