JD.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:JD), China's largest online
direct sales company, and Tencent Holdings Limited (Tencent)
(SEHK:00700), a leading provider of Internet services in
China, today jointly announced an expanded partnership to provide
merchants with innovative mobile marketing solutions ahead of this

The expanded mobile marketing partnership will
explore new avenues to leverage Tencent’s leading social
communication platforms, Weixin and Mobile QQ, and use its massive
big-data resources alongside JD.com’s leading e-commerce platform
and its vast wealth of data about online shopping trends and

tools to more precisely reach their target customer groups, build
brand recognition and increase marketing ROI by providing brands
access to Weixin and Mobile QQ users.
“JD.com’s groundbreaking collaboration with
Tencent already has redefined the mobile e-commerce user experience
in China over the last year and a half, and in the months ahead we
look forward to transforming mobile marketing as well,”
said Richard Liu, founder and CEO of JD.com. “Through this
expanded partnership, Chinese businesses will have access to
digital marketing tools that leverage both JD.com’s resources and
Tencent’s leading mobile social communication platforms to build
relationships with customers, deepen brand recognition and drive
sales. We are extremely encouraged by the enthusiastic initial
merchant response, and we look forward to helping brands leverage
this expanded suite of tools during Singles Day and beyond.”
“As a result of the longstanding and strong
Tencent and JD.com partnership, Chinese consumers enjoy a
convenient and tailored mobile shopping experience,” said Huateng
Ma, founder and CEO of Tencent. “By deepening the collaboration
between China’s most trusted e-commerce company and China’s most
popular mobile social platforms, we can provide Chinese businesses
with a unique capability to deepen their understanding of consumer
needs and more precisely reach their current and future
customers.”
