Home Expo Omnichannel Growth Case Study

A Major Home Expo:
From Local Reach to Omnichannel Growth

📌 Case Background

The Home Expo initially relied on street teams, residential-community outreach and isolated regional advertising. As those channels reached saturation, acquisition costs rose, targeting became less precise and attendance among younger buyers remained low. To expand beyond its local footprint and build durable brand equity, the organizer partnered with Guli Media to transform a traditional regional exhibition into an omnichannel digital event.

🚀 Core Strategy: Full-Funnel Growth

Guli Media designed a closed-loop, full-funnel strategy that combined targeted content distribution with a clear path from public-channel discovery into the expo's owned WeChat audience, increasing both reach and high-intent leads:

1. Multi-Dimensional Touchpoints (Omni-Channel Seeding)

The campaign entered relevant local-interest communities through Xiaohongshu topics such as “Home Decor Inspiration” and Douyin content around the “City Home Expo.” Creator store visits and in-depth posts from local influencers rapidly expanded awareness across the region.

2. Precision Data Targeting (Efficient Conversion)

Data-led targeting reached priority audiences in the city and nearby markets, including people researching renovation services, building materials and older-home upgrades. Zero-cost registration and VIP-pass forms on Tencent Ads and Douyin's Qianchuan platform captured high-intent leads efficiently.

3. Private Domain Viral Retention (Traffic Explosion)

Online prospects were nurtured through the expo's owned WeChat community. Group-buying offers, major-brand flash sales and on-site prize draws encouraged sharing and referrals, accelerating qualified lead growth before opening day.
