How Bilibili Went from a Gamer’s Paradise to a Hot Marketing Opportunity for Auto Companies to Reach Consumers

Most social media platforms make signing up as easy as possible. It’s a race to grow more users who, in turn, attract more investment, high-quality creators, and ad buys. But not Bilibili. This Chinese video platform makes joining more difficult than passing a driving test (OK – maybe that’s true for only some us).

Bilibili — more than any other platform — doubles down on the concepts of “niche” and “community driven” — and the strategy is creating an appealing ecosystem!

KAWO’s Social Media Marketing
to Seniors in China 2023

There is a high chance your brand is missing out on China’s largest-growing consumer group… And no, it’s not Gen Z

This group is expected to contribute to a third of China’s GDP in the next 30 years, rising from 5.9 trillion in 2021 to 106 trillion by 2050 —— they are seniors, the fastest-growing consumer group in modern China.

However, the outdated notion that seniors are reluctant to spend prevails — making this a market ripe for savvy brands to capitalize on. Little effort has been put into studying this group’s needs and behavior changes. Their potential consumer demands are a huge opportunity for those brands who start paying attention – so we made an entire “Social Media Marketing to Seniors in China” guide for you!

Seniors’ Potential on Social

30.8% of China’s 1.07 billion netizens are over 50 years old, and age isn’t slowing them down anytime soon. They are actively engaging in social media which capture most of seniors’ attention online. Most online activities seniors engage in take place on social media apps, including instant messaging, short video and news feed.

Online transaction volume made by senior citizens has grown 3 times in the first 8 months of 2022 compared to 2021. In recent years, social media usage and purchasing power of seniors have increased exponentially, which inspired China social networks to modify their apps’ interfaces for senior users.
