Burberry opened a groundbreaking "social retail store" in Shenzhen, China, in partnership with Tencent Technology, marking its first venture into combining social media interactions with physical retail experiences in real time. Through a custom WeChat mini-program, customers can access exclusive content, personalised experiences, and social currency rewards. The store offers innovative features, including three fitting rooms you can pre-book, that each have a curated theme from the CMF to the music playlist and a "Trench Experience" for content creation. Burberry's pioneering approach in digitally savvy China showcases a social-first commerce model that connects and rewards customers, forging new paths in luxury retail.
