How 旗帜鲜活好奶粉 (Qizhi’s fresh, good milk powder range) used Xiaohongshu to seed a new infant formula at Chinese New Year
Sixteen creators published sixteen mostly image-led posts from 21 January to 8 February 2024, framing 旗帜新红旗奶粉 (Qizhi New Red Flag infant formula) around a 98-second process claim, formula education and a Tmall trial offer.
Turn 98 seconds into a freshness anchor, then explain the formula
Under the slogan 鲜活旗帜龙重登场 (Fresh Qizhi makes a grand debut, a Dragon Year pun), the launch linked 挤奶到加工仅98秒 (only 98 seconds from milking to processing) with lactoferrin and HMOs, building the theme 鲜活=更多活性营养=更强自护力 (freshness = more active nutrients = stronger self-protection). Reviews and experience-led posts opened with seasonal feeding concerns, then moved into ingredient explanations. The formula layer specified 100mg/100g lactoferrin, six HMOs and ten active nutrients, while first-batch passage of the new national standard, patent numbers and 沙利文 (Frost & Sullivan) certification supplied authority cues.
The audience was new mothers concerned about babies’ self-protection and digestive absorption, with some existing knowledge of formula ingredients. The retail hand-off was a store or showcase search. Tmall’s New Year goods festival stayed open, with a 0-yuan tasting offer and other benefits through 9 February; the campaign used no discount.
