JD.com Bolsters Video Content Creation with One Billion Yuan Investment
On April 10, 2024, JD.com announced an investment of one billion yuan in cash incentives aimed at attracting a wider pool of video content creators and institutions to its platform. This initiative underscores JD’s commitment to leveraging the power of short videos and live streams in innovating the online shopping journey for its users and providing brand merchants with novel avenues for growth.
According to the “China Internet Audiovisual Development Research Report (2024),” 71.2% of surveyed users engage in online shopping through watching short videos and live streams, with over 40% identifying them as their primary channels of consumption. This trend underscores the growing influence of video content on consumer purchasing behavior.
JD’s approach to cultivating a vibrant content ecosystem is multifaceted. For individual content creators, the platform offers generous cash subsidies across more than 20 product categories, including electronics, home appliances, fashion, and health, to name a few. Creators who meet the platform’s recruitment criteria can receive weekly bonuses of up to 30,000 yuan, alongside additional incentives such as video playback subsidies and sales commissions.
On the institutional front, JD has established a separate five-million-yuan incentive program. Institutions that successfully onboard a significant number of influencers will receive generous monthly cash subsidies. JD will also provide one-on-one guidance and support to enhance these institutions’ operational effectiveness on the platform.
A key element is the prioritization of high-quality, original content. The platform intends to amplify the reach of such content through algorithms, traffic coupons, and other means, thereby ensuring a richer and more engaging shopping experience for its users.
In a bid to further elevate its content offerings, JD is also in the process of incubating top-tier influencers, with plans to cultivate 100 star influencers by year-end. This initiative builds on the substantial growth witnessed in JD’s content ecosystem over the past year, marked by a 300% increase for “trial + review” videos in key metrics such as orders, user base, and viewing duration. Notably, during the Singles’ Day Grand Promotion in 2023, JD’s video challenges initiative generated nearly 100 million yuan in transactions, showcasing the immense potential of content-driven e-commerce.
JD.com’s latest investment reflects its ongoing dedication to innovation and excellence in e-commerce. By fostering a dynamic and creative content community, JD aims not only to enhance the shopping experience for its users but also to empower creators and institutions with new opportunities for growth and success.
