💡 Why Portugal brands on Bilibili — and why NZ creators should care

Selling the idea that Portugal-made skincare, food, wine or lifestyle goods can gain traction on Bilibili isn’t crazy — Chinese-speaking Gen Z love niche European brands and story-driven products. Bilibili is a video-first community built around hobbies and deep engagement, so a well-targeted outreach can convert curiosity into real orders or brand deals.

If you’re a New Zealand creator (micro to mid-tier) thinking: “Hey, can I score free samples from Portuguese brands and make localised content for Bilibili?” — yes, but you’ve got to play smart. This guide lays out practical steps: where to find Portugal brands that already show China interest, how to message them on Bilibili or via cross-border channels, a simple data snapshot to compare outreach approaches, outreach templates, logistics tips and risk notes. The goal: make it easy for you to pitch, prove value, and get product samples without wasting time or sounding spammy.

I’ll lean on what Bilibili is (a video-first community with features like bullet comments and deep creator–audience bonds) and real-world creator behaviours. Expect templates, a short HTML data table for comparing outreach paths, and a chunk of show-and-tell from MaTitie (my take on VPNs and access). Let’s get on with it.

📊 How to approach Portugal brands — quick comparison

The table compares three outreach routes: messaging the brand directly, working through an agency/PR partner, or contacting distributors/local reps. Agencies give higher response rates and reliability but cost more or ask for exclusivity; direct DM is low-cost and good for testing, while distributors can solve shipping but may prefer larger orders. Choose based on scale, speed and how polished your pitch is.

Hi — I’m MaTitie, the writer behind this piece and someone who’s poked around many platforms to get foreign gear in my hands. Quick truth: Bilibili can be a bit picky about content and creator authenticity, so a VPN sometimes helps with stable access during uploads or research.

If you want reliable platform access and privacy while you upload, try NordVPN — it’s fast from NZ and plays nicely with streaming and large file transfers. 👉 🔐 Try NordVPN now — 30-day risk-free.

💡 Step-by-step: How to find Portuguese brands receptive to Bilibili creators

1. Map intent: Look for Portuguese brands already selling in Greater China, or brands with ecommerce pages in English/Chinese. These are likelier to send samples.

2. Use product categories that travel well: cosmetics with compliant ingredients, long-shelf-life gourmet foods (tinned fish, olive oil), wine (declare duties), and apparel with clear sizing charts.

3. Search smart on Bilibili: use English and Chinese keywords (e.g., “Portugal 进口”, “葡萄牙”, brand names plus “试用”/”测评”). Bilibili’s niche circles — hobby channels, food channels, skincare reviewers — reveal brands actively courting creators.

4. Check cross-platform signals: brands posting on Instagram, Douyin, Weibo or having Chinese-language product pages are higher-probability targets.

5. Use BaoLiba to show proof: include region rankings, follower growth and past campaign snapshots to make your pitch credible.

🧭 Outreach templates that actually work

• Short DM (Bilibili message/video reply):
  Hi [Brand name] — kia ora, I’m [Your name], NZ creator (5k followers on B站/YouTube). I love [product category]. I can make a 2–3min demo with A/B shots and subtitles for Bilibili; would you consider sending one sample for review? I’ll share metrics and a simple promo cut afterwards. Cheers — [handle + link].

• Email to PR or distributor:
  Subject: Collab idea — product review for Chinese youth on Bilibili
  Hi [Name], I create short-form product content aimed at Chinese-speaking audiences and can reach [X] engaged viewers per post. Sample request info: shipping address, HS code, and any promotion rules. I’ll provide performance report within 14 days.

• Follow-up (7–10 days):
  Hi [Name], just touching base on my sample request. Happy to offer a small paid boost or run a flash giveaway to increase reach. Can we arrange logistic details?

Tip: include 1–2 screenshots of real engagement, not vanity metrics. Brands want conversions, not just likes.

💬 Logistics, customs and cost notes (short)

• Shipping: many brands will use international shipping; if they prefer CN logistics, offer a freight-forwarder address. Expect 2–4 weeks lead times.

• Duties: be clear about who covers customs and import taxes. Offer to handle local clearance and reimburse if necessary.

• Legal: avoid regulated categories (medicinal claims). Keep product claims factual.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I pitch Portugal brands even if I’m not on Bilibili yet?

💬 Yes — start by offering trial content for another platform (YouTube/TikTok) and promise Bilibili adaptation once you open that channel. Brands like evidence of conversion more than platform names.

🛠️ What language should my content be in for Bilibili?

💬 Mandarin works best; however English with Chinese subtitles or a Chinese MC/voiceover can work. If you can’t do Mandarin, hire a native speaker for subtitles.

🧠 How do I prove ROI to a brand unfamiliar with NZ creators?

💬 Use case studies: show click-throughs, affiliate links, or a simple A/B test plan. Offer to run a small giveaway or discount code so the brand can track direct sales.

🧩 Final Thoughts…

Portugal brands present a genuine opportunity for Kiwi creators if you approach with clarity, measured expectations and a localised plan for Bilibili’s audience. Start small: test with one product, make a tidy report, and scale from there. Agencies speed things up but direct outreach keeps costs low. Use BaoLiba to surface your metrics, and be professional about shipping and customs — brands notice the details.
