How iFLYTEK used Xiaohongshu to seed 单词通 (Vocabulary Master) during the New Year shopping festival

From 12–19 January 2024, iFLYTEK ran a concentrated Xiaohongshu seeding push for 单词通 (Vocabulary Master), with thirteen creators and thirteen posts. It connected offline word lookup and memory-curve revision to winter-holiday study, final-exam preparation and New Year gifting.

The idea

Fit vocabulary revision around winter-holiday downtime

The campaign positioned 单词通 (Vocabulary Master) as a 秘密武器 (secret weapon) for final-exam revision and winter-holiday catch-up, under the slogan and hashtag 玩得尽兴也能背得轻松 (Play to your heart’s content and still memorize with ease). Parent and older-student perspectives showed how fragmented moments could be used for word lookup and revision. Tutorials demonstrated the features; lifestyle vlogs supplied everyday study scenes. Video accounted for 62% of a mixed photo-text and video slate. The feature story linked offline lookup, a scientific memory curve and full vocabulary-book coverage across primary to high-school needs.

It spoke to parents focused on their children’s English results and more efficient use of fragmented study time, including new mothers, as well as Gen Z students looking for winter-holiday revision methods. A New Year gift concept added a gifting use case. With no discount, the campaign stayed in pure product-seeding mode, building the offer around a study plan and gift rationale rather than a price mechanic.
