Looking for Xiaohongshu influencers for your Singapore restaurant, retail store or lifestyle brand? A useful shortlist should help you decide who to approach, what to create and how much to budget. This guide brings together ten creators and collaboration ideas, alongside practical filming, editing and publishing budgets for your first campaign.

Xiaohongshu is also known as RedNote or Little Red Book. Before choosing a creator, decide what you want customers to do: book a table, visit a store, buy a product or make an enquiry. Then match that goal with the creator’s recent work and audience. The list below is organised around different collaboration opportunities.

10 Creators and Brand Collaboration Ideas

The campaign concepts below are Allua’s suggested directions to help brands develop a practical brief.

1. Starry 秋秋: Turn a City Discovery into a Reason to Visit

Starry appears in the Singapore Retailers Association’s Xiaohongshu creator list and has a recorded collaboration with a local charitable organisation. Brands could explore a three-stop neighbourhood guide, bringing a shop, restaurant or experience into one afternoon itinerary.

Campaign idea: “Where should we go for a weekend afternoon?” Show three useful stops, including transport, spending and the details that make each visit worthwhile. Dining and experience-led retail brands can connect the final step to a booking or offer redemption.

2. Nicole.Q 妮小可: Help Diners Make a Decision

Nicole’s own profile lists her Xiaohongshu name as Nicole.Q妮小可, alongside dining, travel and lifestyle content. Her dining work includes occasion-based recommendations, addresses and opening information—useful prompts for answering the questions customers ask before visiting.

Campaign idea: “Where should we go for a group meal?” Cover the budget per person, dishes to order, seating and reservations. Go beyond food close-ups and help viewers decide whether the restaurant suits their occasion.

3. Vivian 小辣椒在新加坡: Answer First-Visit Questions

Suggested collaboration direction: dining, attractions and in-person experiences. Build a first-visit guide that takes viewers through how to get there, what to order and how much two people should budget.

Briefing focus: choose one question that could change a customer’s decision, such as “Is it suitable for children?” or “Can we finish lunch within an hour?” Let the brand’s strengths emerge through a practical situation.

4. stormscape 尼克: Build a Clear Video Walkthrough

Suggested collaboration direction: menu launches, restaurants and visually distinctive venues. Start at the entrance and show the setting, available choices, experience and key takeaway.

Campaign idea: use a 30–60-second video to answer three questions: what is it, what does it cost and who is it for? Supply clear product information so the footage and narration work together, rather than filling the video with slogans.

5. 小欣 Kerryn: Make Dates and Gifting Part of the Story

Suggested collaboration direction: couple experiences, dining, leisure and gifting. Start with a specific occasion—a rainy-day date, birthday celebration or relaxed weekend—to give the product a natural role in the customer’s life.

Campaign idea: “An afternoon for two under S$100” or “A two-hour celebration after work”. Explain package inclusions, timing and reservations so viewers can easily make a similar plan.

6. yoki 是胶片控: Create an Event Guide Worth Saving

Suggested collaboration direction: pop-ups, exhibitions, seasonal retail and destination events. Useful event content helps viewers decide whether to attend and how to plan their time.

Campaign idea: highlight three stops, the suggested visit duration and the entry process. Schedule publication ahead of the event, giving viewers time to invite friends, buy tickets or book.

7. Sam Wong: Show the Product in Different Styling Situations

Suggested collaboration direction: fashion, footwear and accessories. A “one piece, three occasions” concept can bring work, weekends and social events into a single video.

Briefing focus: use close-ups to show cut, texture and styling, with wider shots for overall proportions. Invite viewers to check sizes, explore the collection or try the item in store, connecting inspiration with a shopping action.

8. Jus Yu Jiahao: Turn Product Details into Enquiries

Suggested collaboration direction: bags, menswear and accessories. A demonstration can answer practical shopping questions that a beauty shot alone cannot, such as capacity, proportions and everyday use.

Campaign idea: “What goes into my bag for a full day out?” Use the story to explain storage, capacity and styling. Prepare accurate dimensions, materials, prices and purchasing information so interested viewers can make a specific enquiry.

9. Chuando Tan: Explore an Editorial Brand Image

Suggested collaboration direction: premium fashion, design-led hotels and brands with a strong visual identity. Build the concept around one clear visual idea, supported by a story about the product, space or lifestyle.

Briefing focus: agree the impression the brand wants to create before planning styling, lighting and locations. If the finished assets will also appear on the brand’s website or in advertising, include the required formats and usage rights in the brief.

10. 阿泽在新加坡 / Xavier: Lead with a Relatable Question

Xavier’s official link hub includes Xiaohongshu, and BO JIO has interviewed him about his experience on the platform. His recorded Xiaohongshu following was approximately 228,200 in April 2026.

Campaign idea: start with a practical question such as “What can you experience here in two hours?” A host-led journey can turn the features of a retail, entertainment or lifestyle service into an easy-to-follow story.

What Should You Compare Besides Follower Counts?

Start with five factors: the share of the audience in your target market, median views across ten recent relevant posts, the quality of saves and comments, relevant sponsored work, and the complete delivery cost. Followers indicate scale; content that helps customers make a decision is closer to what the brand actually needs.

For restaurants, look for clear menu, price and booking information. For retail, assess product demonstrations and purchase-related questions. For events, make sure the publishing schedule gives viewers enough time to plan a visit.

How Much Does a Xiaohongshu Video Cost—and How Long Does It Take?

For one 30–60-second vertical video, one Singapore location and one revision, Allua recommends an initial budget of S$450–1,900 for planning, filming and basic editing. With one creator’s organic post included, start planning around S$750–3,400 overall.

The suggested budgets below are in Singapore dollars (SGD). Final fees depend on the production scope, creator and usage rights.

Item	Suggested budget (SGD)	Timing and scope
Concept and brief	S$100–300 / video	1–2 working days; concept, shot list and copy
Simple filming	S$200–800 / shoot	2–4 hours at one location
Basic editing	S$150–500 / video	First cut in 1–3 working days; subtitles, basic colour/audio and one revision
Creator organic post	S$300–1,500 / post	Allow 3–7 days after approval to coordinate one account’s post
More complex editing	S$500–1,500 / video	3–7 working days; replaces the basic editing allowance

What Is the Difference Between Production and Posting Fees?

Filming and editing fees pay for creating the content. A creator’s posting fee covers distribution through their account and the collaboration arrangement. Uploading to your own brand account does not require a KOL posting fee; allow an additional S$50–150 per post if you need caption writing, uploading and scheduling support.

For creator collaborations with larger exposure requirements, an initial discussion budget of S$1,500–5,000 or more may be appropriate. If filming, editing and posting are sold as a package, use that package in place of the relevant individual costs to avoid double-counting. Paid advertising, extra locations, talent and additional content licences are separate.

How Long Should You Allow from Brief to Publication?

For a simple, single-location campaign, plan around 7–14 working days: roughly 1–2 days for the brief, 2–4 hours for filming, 1–3 days for an initial edit, plus time for revisions, approval and posting arrangements. Allow 3–6 weeks for multiple creators, several locations or busy seasonal campaigns.

Budget Example: A Singapore Restaurant Launch

For a 45-second video, one three-hour restaurant shoot, one revision and one creator post, an example budget is: brief S$200 + filming S$600 + editing S$350 + posting S$800 = S$1,950. With a 10%–20% contingency, allow approximately S$2,145–2,340, excluding tax, advertising and additional usage rights.

Build the story around “What should two people order on their first visit?” Show three dishes, real prices, the dining environment and how to book. Review views, saves, qualified enquiries and reservations after seven and thirty days to guide the next collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is a Sensible Starting Budget?

Allow S$450–1,900 to create a simple video from scratch, or approximately S$750–3,400 with one creator’s post. If you already have usable footage, a basic S$150–500 edit can be a practical way to test content on your brand’s own account.

What Does Post-Production Include?

Basic editing generally covers footage organisation, cutting, subtitles, simple colour and audio adjustments, and one revision, with a suggested budget of S$150–500. Allow S$500–1,500 for more motion text, multiple versions or more involved sound work. List animation, voice-over and additional language versions before requesting a quote.

Will a Creator with More Followers Always Perform Better?

No. A store needs people who might visit; a product needs an audience interested in buying. Compare target-market fit, recent content, engagement quality and cost together rather than selecting on follower count alone.

How Can We Avoid Unexpected Extra Costs?

Specify video length, filming locations, subtitle languages, revision rounds, platforms and publishing dates in the brief. Confirm reshoots, raw footage delivery and advertising usage rights at the same time. Clear deliverables make time and budget easier for both sides to manage.
