Feiyi Technology Group & Tencent Smart Retail Conduct Strategic Digital Growth Workshop with Shuyi Herbal Jelly, Charting a New Course for New-Style Tea Beverage Industry Digitalization

Shanghai, December 2025 — Feiyi Technology Group, in close collaboration with Tencent Smart Retail, conducted a high-level strategic research and exchange workshop with the management team of Shuyi Herbal Jelly (书亦烧仙草) — one of China's most iconic and rapidly expanding new-style tea beverage chain brands. Centered on the theme of "Digital Technology Driving Business Growth", the workshop brought together cross-functional teams from all three parties for an intensive, agenda-driven dialogue on how Tencent Smart Retail's industry-leading solutions can be tailored to unlock Shuyi's next phase of digital transformation and sustainable business growth.

☕ Background: The Digital Imperative in China's New-Style Tea Beverage Market Shuyi Herbal Jelly has established itself as a benchmark brand in China's fiercely competitive new-style tea beverage (新茶饮) sector, operating thousands of stores nationwide and building a loyal consumer base through its distinctive product identity and consistent quality. Yet as the market matures and traditional traffic growth models face diminishing returns, the strategic imperative for digital transformation has never been more urgent.

The central challenge facing Shuyi — and indeed the entire chain catering industry — is how to leverage digital technology to move from volume-driven growth to value-driven growth: deepening member relationships, activating private domain traffic, personalizing the consumer experience, and optimizing store-level operational efficiency through data intelligence.

Tencent Smart Retail is uniquely positioned to address this challenge, drawing on Tencent's unparalleled ecosystem of WeChat, Mini Programs, WeCom (企业微信), WeChat Pay, and Video Accounts — combined with world-class capabilities in big data analytics, AI-powered marketing, and CRM digitalization — to deliver comprehensive smart retail solutions for China's leading consumer brands.

Feiyi Technology Group, as a core ecosystem partner of both Tencent Cloud and Tencent Smart Retail, serves as the critical bridge between Tencent's technology capabilities and the real-world business needs of enterprise clients. With deep expertise in chain brand digitalization, new retail solutions, and consumer industry digital transformation, Feiyi Technology Group is ideally positioned to translate Tencent's platform strengths into actionable, business-specific growth strategies for brands like Shuyi.

🔍 Key Workshop Themes The workshop was structured around five strategic themes, each directly addressing Shuyi's most pressing digital growth priorities:

1. Member Digitalization & CRM Upgrade The team explored how Tencent Smart Retail's member management platform can help Shuyi build a more sophisticated digital membership ecosystem — integrating member data across all touchpoints, enabling precision segmentation, and driving higher engagement, repurchase rates, and long-term brand loyalty. The goal: transforming Shuyi's massive store traffic into a sustainable, monetizable digital asset.

2. Private Domain Traffic Operations & WeChat Ecosystem Integration A central focus of the workshop was how Shuyi can maximize the value of Tencent's WeChat ecosystem — including Mini Programs, WeCom, WeChat Pay, and Video Accounts — to build a high-efficiency private domain traffic operation system. This encompasses the full consumer journey: from public domain acquisition to private domain retention, from transactional relationships to long-term brand community building.

3. Smart Marketing & Personalized Consumer Engagement The workshop examined how Tencent's big data and AI capabilities can power a smart marketing engine for Shuyi — enabling user portrait-based personalized marketing, precision coupon distribution, intelligent promotional campaign design, and real-time marketing performance optimization. The objective is to dramatically improve marketing ROI while delivering a more relevant and engaging consumer experience.

4. Store Digital Operations & Efficiency Enhancement Participants discussed the application of digital management tools to Shuyi's store operations — covering intelligent staff scheduling, inventory forecasting, real-time sales analytics, and operational data dashboards — enabling refined store management that reduces costs, improves efficiency, and empowers frontline teams with actionable data insights.

5. Data-Driven Brand Growth Strategy At the strategic level, the workshop addressed how Shuyi can build a data-centric brand growth architecture — establishing digital capabilities as a durable competitive advantage that supports differentiated positioning and sustained market leadership in the increasingly competitive new-style tea beverage industry.
