How Bananain used 18 Douyin creators to seed its 肌底衣 base layers

Bananain framed its 501+ base layer as a warm, slimming answer to bulky autumn styling, using outfit tutorials and workplace looks before pointing viewers towards store searches for Double 11.

The idea

Turn a bulky base-layer problem into a workwear styling lesson

From 5 September to 1 November 2024, Bananain ran an all-video Douyin push for “蕉内肌底衣” (Bananain base layer), led by the 501+ series and placed entirely through Xingtu. Posts opened with the problem of a base layer looking bulky, then explained “空气锁温” (air-lock warmth), a slimming cut and “7A抑菌” (7A antibacterial protection) through outfit demonstrations. “一衣多穿” (One Top, Multiple Looks) tutorials placed the top in commuting wardrobes, while “高智感穿搭” (intellectual-chic styling) and “Office Siren” tags connected function with a polished office look.

The campaign addressed urban professional women and Gen Z students, with value-sensitive shoppers given a “百元价位” (roughly 100-yuan price range) cue rather than a stated discount. Celebrity same-item references supplied an additional style device. A sustained drip of posts carried the campaign towards Double 11, with closing calls to search the store or product showcase and stock up for the sales period.

The first step to copy

  1. 1
    Start with the wardrobe problem, not the fabric claim

    Open on the recognisable issue: a base layer that becomes bulky or awkward once a coat comes off. “十个打底九个雷” (Nine Out of Ten Base Layers Are a Letdown) supplied the campaign’s pain-point frame, giving the subsequent tutorial a practical question to answer.
