Mr. Wang spoke about the future of China's early childhood
education system, and Babytree’s mission to meet the increasing
needs of young families. Later, he announced that Babytree plans to
enter the offline market by opening a large number of community
play centers.
Each year, nearly 20 million babies are born in China. As the
demands of young families grow, the maternal and infant industry
continues to develop. Babytree hopes that by expanding their
business model to encompass offline services, they will satisfy
these needs for Chinese families.
Babytree’s maternity and infant website (www.Babytree.com) was
launched in 2007. By August of that same year, CNN listed Babytree
as one of the "Ten Most Striking Business Models." In April 2013,
the analytics company Alexa confirmed that Babytree had surpassed
Babycenter, America’s leading online parenting platform. Since
then, Babytree has become the most popular and most visited
vertical maternity and infant online community in the world.
Nowadays, when young mothers are asked about parenting secrets,
they will often refer to Babytree.
During the past ten years, Babytree has built a widely popular
online platform attuned to meeting a variety of needs for young
families – from education to social development to consumption. New
parents are able to learn from each other and gain insight.
Recently, Babytree became known globally after an American mom
shared a video from Babytree WeTime on Facebook. The video, which
was originally uploaded by the father on Babytree WeTime, captured
a little baby named Titi fighting King Kong.
When asked how it has successfully operated for over a decade,
Mr. Wang answered, "We have stayed true to our original
mission.”
