Last month, Harbour City invited Master Xiao P, Perry, the 'Beauty Magician', to visit Hong Kong to share the latest beauty brands and products. Perry is very popular on social media and is ranked the Top 1 among Sina Microblog Beauty KOLs in 2016, Top 1 among NewRank Beauty KOLs in 2016* and Top 4 among the Chinese KOLs with the Most Business Value in 2016.
On 25 May, Perry live-streamed the video "Master Xiao P Laoshi Takes You to Hong Kong Harbour City", which was viewed 28.2 million times and set a new record for highest number of livestream views on Sina Microblog in Hong Kong.
Teaser to Attract Audience's Attention
On the day before the event, Perry posted a photo and a seven-word caption on his Sina Microblog about tasting desserts in Harbour City as a teaser. This drew fans' attention to his Hong Kong trip and generated anticipation of follow-up activities.
Carefully Selected Products in Live Stream
On 25 May, Perry live-streamed the video "Master Xiao P Laoshi Takes You to Hong Kong Harbour City" on Yizhibo. In the 90-minute live stream, Perry led his fans from the main entrance of Ocean Terminal in Harbour City to Lane Crawford, FACESSS and stores on the third floor, as well as to other beauty brands. The live stream started at 7:30 p.m., as the Mainland internet users peak after dinner.
Perry specially recommended six beauty brands and products in Harbour City. He began with La Mer, which is a brand that fans in Mainland China are familiar with. Following that, he introduced Chantecaille from France. He then demonstrated a new brand from the United States, Hourglass, the newly launched brand in Hong Kong, whose products were used by singer Madonna for her concert.
Perry also provided different price ranges of products to cater to different customers' needs. For example, he highlighted the American brand Lipstick Queen, which was exclusive to Harbour City. At the end, he introduced the medical skincare brand SkinCeuticals and the Israeli brand Sabon, which is not yet being sold in the Mainland.
Perry successfully caught fans' attention by showing them a 'real shopping experience' of selecting beauty products and answering questions raised by audiences during the live stream.

Cross Platform Promotions
Due to the popularity of Perry's live streaming, his live stream appeared on the list of the top live stream recommendations on Yizhibo that day. This, along with the promotions of Sina Microblog and Harbour City, led to the increase in the video's popularity.
Ongoing Engagement with Fans after the Trip
After the trip, Perry launched an activity with incentives where he encouraged fans to replay the live stream and answer questions for the opportunity to win a gift. This follow-up action triggered another wave of engagement. The accumulated video views, after the incentive-driven activity, surged from the original 25 million to 28.2 million.
In addition, Perry leveraged the potential of cross-platform influence to spur purchases. He published two posts on his WeChat account to share his recommended brands and products explored during his Hong Kong trip. The two posts obtained nearly 200,000 views and were shared by many other accounts to gain wider reach.
