Abstract
Founded in 2013, Xiaohongshu had evolved from an online shopping guide into a major app. By August 2023, the platform had introduced the 'buyer era,' marking a pivotal shift in its business strategy. Xiaohongshu integrated influencer and merchant operations into a unified department to enhance efficiency and strengthen the link between content creation and e-commerce. It needed to determine whether a commission-based buyer model could transition the platform from influencer-driven live e-commerce to a model where professional buyers would curate and present products directly to consumers. This strategic move required careful evaluation to ensure alignment with the platform's core strengths.
