Moodie Davitt WeChat: Key stories from Week 22 : Moodie Davitt Report

CHINA. We are pleased to bring readers a summary of recent posts on The Moodie Davitt Report’s WeChat Official Account as the platform continues to grow strongly in China.

The Moodie Davitt Report offers unrivalled Chinese language coverage of key China-related stories, anchored by our dual WeChat platforms – our weekly Moodie Davitt Account (currently with an impressive 6,437 followers) and Moodie Davitt Report China Travel Retail Express (3,971), which publishes daily.

Collectively, that represents 10,408 followers, compared with a collective zero from all our international travel retail publishing peers combined, none of whom offer a WeChat service.

That means only Moodie Davitt stories are reaching right across the Chinese travel retail ecosystem.

Our platforms complement the strong and growing Chinese readership of our English-language service.

Scan the QR codes via WeChat to visit our dual platforms. The Moodie Davitt Report is the only global travel retail title to publish on WeChat. Stories related to the Chinese and international travel retail sector at home and abroad are featured in this unrivalled service. For native content opportunities please contact Dachang Wang (China) at Dachang@MoodieDavittReport.com or Irene Revilla (International) at Irene@MoodieDavittReport.com.
