Cracking China’s Wellness Market

AG1’s WeChat Growth Journey

When AG1, a premium health supplement brand from New Zealand, set its sights on the Chinese market, it needed a digital strategy tailored to local platforms, consumer behaviors, and cross-border logistics. Fugu was tasked with building and managing a full-service ecosystem for growth on WeChat eanbling AG1 to accelerate customer acquisition, drive repeat purchases, and scale social commerce through a smart mix of Mini Program development, KOL integration, CRM activation, and data-driven decision-making.

Challenge

Building a Seamless
Cross-Border Experience

AG1 needed a solution that could:

  • Simplify purchase flows for customers
  • Integrate with bonded warehouses and logistics partners
  • Drive new traffic and enable subscription-based models
  • Deliver a native experience within the WeChat ecosystem

With the goal of maximizing conversions and building long-term customer relationships, Fugu’s approach had to bridge operational logistics with powerful user engagement tools.

Solution

A Fully-Integrated
WeChat Mini Program Store

Fugu designed and deployed a Cross-Border WeChat Mini Program (MP) store for AG1, providing a fast, intuitive shopping experience integrated with bonded warehousing and third-party logistics.

Ongoing store operations, content management, and promotions

Integrated WeChat coupons for easy redemption via card packs

Lifecycle messaging for restock reminders, coupon alerts, and campaign push notifications

Weekly analytics and optimization based on customer behavior

The results? A lifetime purchase value of RMB 600 per user, with 35% conversion to sales and 30% repeat purchase rate — strong indicators of product-market fit and user stickiness.

  • Unique QR codes for each KOL to track and reward conversions

  • Automated commission payout mechanisms

 

In parallel, always-on WeChat Moment Ads, co-branded events with gyms, and a celebrity partnerships helped amplify the brand’s reach. This hybrid of authenticity, incentive, and scale built a credible and active sales channel across communities.

AG1 used WeCom to manage 1:1 communication and private group chats with users — enabling personalized support, product education, and upsell opportunities.

 

To enhance loyalty:

  • A “Refer a Friend” program with in-app rewards was launched
  • Distributor tiers were created with backend tools and WeChat Wallet integration
  • Post-purchase surveys and feedback loops were implemented with 25%+ response rates

 

This structured yet human-centered CRM approach ensured engagement beyond the first purchase and helped maintain visibility throughout the customer journey.

Fugu also delivered a comprehensive real-time dashboard to track:

  • Sales and conversion rates
  • Coupon performance and redemption
  • KOL efficiency and ROI
  • User profiles (gender, region, purchasing behavior)

 

These insights allowed AG1 to evaluate campaign performance, refine messaging, and optimize budget allocation based on data, not guesswork.

Conclusion

Scaling with Strategy
and Local Intelligence

AG1’ success in China didn’t rely on product quality alone — it hinged on building a localized digital foundation that combined user experience, commerce, and communication.

 

Fugu’s integrated WeChat solution empowered the brand to:

  • Seamlessly operate a compliant cross-border store
