Earned vs owned reach
Of the 925 total reach today, 13% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 87% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mannings | 790 | 25 | 3% |
| Watsons | 18 | 92 | 84% |
Earned = organic / independent voices — this drives Share of Voice, sentiment and everything above. Owned = the brands' own official accounts, i.e. what they broadcast. A high owned share means the day's buzz is largely brand-driven, not organic.

Act on this
The magnesium/sleep supplement post generated dozens of comments, but repeated questions on elderly use, pregnancy safety, dosage and dependency have no visible brand reply, risking a stalled path-to-purchase for cautious buyers.
▸ Multiple distinct askers raise elderly safety, pregnancy, dependency and dosage in the same thread
會唔會食完有倚賴？
“Will taking this create dependency?”

A shopper was charged for one extra bottle of medicine and only got it resolved via a follow-up phone call; separately, a counterfeit-shampoo warning is circulating on xiaohongshu, feeding a pattern of checkout/authenticity trust complaints flagged in the posts analysis.
▸ Overcharge complaint (paid for 4 bottles, received 3) plus a fake-shampoo alert circulating on xiaohongshu
都回家了，怎么证明只买了三瓶？她们也愿意补一瓶药水的钱回来给你？

WatsonsSupply-chain reputational risk (animal cruelty callout)
An Instagram comment links a Watsons manufacturer (Jieyang Kangmei) to a viral dog-cruelty scandal and calls for a boycott/disclosure — a reputational flashpoint that could scale if picked up further.

屈臣氏品牌其中一個代工係揭陽市康美日用制品有限公司，近日揭揚發生殘忍既虐殺狗隻事件，希望屈臣氏可以主動交代現時有邊啲產品係「揭陽製造」，並承諾終止與該地區嘅合作。我哋拒絕購買來自缺乏動物基本權益保障地區嘅產品！請正視消費者嘅聲音。🙏 #旺旺 #JusticeFoWangWang
