Examine and assess the influence of content development on Xiaohongshu platform for brand interaction: an in-depth analysis of a minor stationery
Abstract:
This study focused on small stationery brands on the Xiaohongshu platform and aimed to explore how content marketing affected brand communication. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was employed for analysis. Data were collected using a web-scraper (Octopus Collector) to gather 400 notes from 20 leading small stationery brand accounts, and then analyzed with statistical tools (e.g., chi-square tests) and content analysis. The analysis considered external factors such as posting time, market competition, and product popularity, and summarized the characteristics and dissemination effects of both high and low-quality notes. These factors were found to significantly influence user engagement and brand awareness. In addition, a Xiaohongshu account was operated to validate the conclusions in practice, which helped enhance the robustness of the findings. The study found that high-quality notes typically outperformed others in several aspects. These included cover design, title relevance, integration of text and images, and effective use of hashtags. Notably, a larger proportion of high-quality notes adopted the video format (62%). This significantly increased user engagement, which averaged 19,763 interactions. In terms of content topics, product display and product detail introduction were the most common. They accounted for 42.5% and 36% of the notes, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between video and image-text notes in presenting product detail introduction ( chi ^ 2 = 67.5 p < 0.05 ) This indicates that video content was more effective in this aspect. Additionally, the presence of celebrity-related elements also contributed positively to note performance. Based on these findings, the paper proposes several strategies for optimizing content marketing. These include maintaining consistency in brand style, enhancing product detail introduction, incorporating celebrity-related elements, and increasing the proportion of video content. These recommendations aim to help small stationery brands improve their communication effectiveness and strengthen brand influence on the Xiaohongshu platform.
