Your Growth
Engine.

赢商 · 商家增长引擎

Growth infrastructure for brick-and-mortar merchants across Malaysia — powering acquisition on Dianping, Meituan, 小红书, and KOC channels.

01 — What is Dianping

China’s #1 lifestyle platform, in your
neighbourhood

Dianping (大众点评) is the app hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers use to find where to eat, shop, and play — abroad too. For KL and Penang merchants, it’s the direct line to the fastest-growing tourist segment in Malaysia.

REACH
700M+

Monthly active Chinese users across Dianping and Meituan — the largest lifestyle graph outside of search engines.

INTENT
High

Users search for nearby restaurants, salons, clinics with intent to book — and decide on the spot, in-trip.

TOURISTS
3.73M

Chinese tourist arrivals to Malaysia in 2024 (+131% YoY) — each one opens Dianping before they book a table or a facial.

TRUST
4.8★

Reviews on Dianping carry more weight than Google in the Chinese diaspora. One good 点评 page compounds for years.

06 — About

A team that lives
on both sides.

MerchantNgin was born inside Innovative Hub Malaysia — an award-winning digital agency serving the region since 2016.

We saw Malaysian merchants doing everything right on Google, Facebook, and Instagram — and still missing the Chinese consumer entirely. A different platform, a different language, a different trust system.

So we built the growth engine for it. Native Mandarin operators in KL + Penang, Chinese-side partnership desks, and a playbook refined over hundreds of campaigns.

07 — FAQ

Questions we hear
all the time.

No. We handle 100% of the Chinese-language side — listings, campaigns, reviews, customer messaging. You deal with us in English (or BM / Cantonese).

Typical timeline is 10–14 working days from contract signing, assuming we receive your photos, menu, and business documents on time.

Yes — Dianping and Meituan are heavily used by the local Chinese-Malaysian community too. For F&B in KL, Penang, and JB, Chinese-Malaysian diners often outweigh tourist volume.

We work on quarterly cycles — 3-month initial engagement, then monthly thereafter. No long lock-ins.

MerchantNgin is a specialised business unit. Existing IH clients get preferred rates and a single point of contact.

Setup + monthly retainer + media spend. We’ll share a detailed proposal after the free consultation.

Let’s grow your
footfall.
