Wechat is a popular mobile social software. In 2011, Wechat launched by Tencent began to attract a large number of users, and the number of its users had reached 549 million by 2015. Based on the user base and the opening of the Wechat payment in 2013, We Chat marketing became more and more popular. Because Wechat circle has the "strong relationship" social patterns, and trust between friends is stronger, the information transmission has become more effective and faster. Depending on this efficient information transfer mode, Wechat business marketing achieves a low-cost, fast information circulation. So we can think that Wechat business marketing generates economic benefits by using customer’s social relations as a kind of capital.In recent years the development of the logistics chain has caused many agricultural businesses focusing on WeChat platform, such as Fu Jun, who managed to sell 2 million rice in three months, Xu Yi, who made an income of 40,000 through WeChat marketing business, and so on.

Based on the characteristics of fresh agricultural products’vulnerability, merchants can reduce stockpile and replenish stock according to the number of orders. The strong connection between Wechat friends makes Wechat business merchants able to achieve good publicity effect at relatively low cost in the propaganda of goods. But due to the instability of the logistics chain and regional restriction, the merchants can not control the quality of the goods, and can’t meet customers’optional needs. At the same time, as customers have different habits, they are unable to ensure that all customers are satisfied with shopping experience.This paper argues that Wechat business marketing is a kind of social marketing, so the rest of this article starts theoretical research from the perspective of social capital theory, and explores correlation between fresh agricultural products Wechat business and social networks.
