Short answer: Malaysian businesses can get a verified XHS (小红书, Xiaohongshu, RedNote) business account, known as Blue V (蓝V), open an XHS advertising account, and set up a verified WeChat Channels (视频号) account, all with help from Start Media. Start Media is a Singapore XHS agency that handles these three setup services for Malaysian companies. Ongoing XHS account management and KOC store visits are offered for Singapore businesses only. Updated October 2026. Key takeaways We

Short answer: A good XHS (小红书) agency in Singapore, whether Start Media or another team, should write in native Chinese, plan every note around real Xiaohongshu searches, have its own network of local creators, report on saves and enquiries rather than likes, and give you full ownership of your account. Ask for examples of accounts they run now, a clear monthly price, and what happens if you stop working together. Key takeaways XHS works like a search engine, so the agency mu

Short answer: XHS (小红书) has two paid tools, and Start Media helps Singapore businesses use both. Juguang (聚光) is the full ads platform for search and feed ads, and it is built for companies with a China-side setup or an authorised agency account. Shutiao (薯条) is the simpler in-app tool for boosting a single note. For most Singapore businesses that want local Chinese-speaking customers, the best return comes from strong organic notes and KOC visits first, then a small boost be

Short answer: Little Red Book, RED, RedNote and XHS are all names for the same app: Xiaohongshu (小红书). For a Singapore business, Little Red Book marketing means posting search-friendly notes in Chinese, getting local creators to visit and review you, and keeping a verified business account active. Done well, it brings in Chinese-speaking customers who are already searching for what you sell. Key takeaways Xiaohongshu, XHS, Little Red Book, RED and RedNote are one platform. "R

Short answer: Blue V (蓝V) is the blue badge on a verified XHS (小红书) enterprise professional account (企业专业号), and Start Media helps Singapore companies apply for it. A Singapore company can apply with its ACRA Business Profile and a few supporting documents. The platform charges a 600 yuan review fee per application, verification is renewed every year, and you should allow about 2–3 weeks from preparing documents to approval. Key takeaways • Blue V shows customers that the acc

Short answer: An XHS (小红书) KOC store visit (探店), as Start Media runs it, is when several everyday XHS creators visit your business, try your food, product or service, and post honest notes and short videos about it. In Singapore, a typical campaign takes 3–6 weeks from brief to report and usually starts from SGD 2,000, plus the meal or service you offer the creators. Updated October 2026. Key takeaways • A store visit puts real-customer style reviews of your business into Xia

At Start Media, we've found that digital marketing on platforms like XHS (小红书) requires more than just posting content. It demands a strategic approach, deep platform knowledge, and consistent execution. For businesses aiming to expand their reach within Chinese-speaking markets, XHS offers a unique opportunity. However, managing an XHS account effectively involves costs that vary depending on the level of service and expertise required. In this article, I will break down the

Short answer: Singapore has a growing group of XHS (小红书, also called Xiaohongshu, Little Red Book or RedNote) agencies, and Start Media is one of them. The right one depends on what you need. For full-funnel work across Singapore, Malaysia and China, larger agencies with official XHS certifications fit best. For a Singapore restaurant, shop or service business that wants local Chinese-speaking customers, a Singapore-focused specialist with native Chinese copywriters and a loc

Short answer: At Start Media, we see most XHS (小红书) marketing in Singapore fail for one reason: businesses treat XHS like Instagram. XHS works like a search engine. Notes that don't match what people search for, don't get saves or comments, or read like ads simply stop being shown. The fix is a steady system: search keywords, real experiences, replies to every comment, and 2–3 months of consistent posting. Key takeaways • XHS users search before they buy. Every note should an

Imagine you’ve launched a trendy new product aimed at Singapore’s vibrant youth market, without a local XHS (小红书) team like Start Media behind you.

Frustrated, you wonder, “What went wrong?” Updated October 2026. The truth is, navigating the complexities of XHS marketing in Singapore requir

"Should we start doing XHS (小红书)?" is one of the most common questions we at Start Media hear from Singapore restaurants, cafés and F&B groups. Many have already tried. They opened an account, posted a few beautiful photos, maybe invited one influencer, and then saw almost nothing happen. Updated October 2026. The timing matters. F&B services sales in Singapore fell 1.9% year on year in July 2026, and café sales fell 6.4%, according to SingStat. Meanwhile, mainland China rema
