VGI Partnered with LINE Beacon to Accentuate its Leadership in O2O

The latest technology, LINE Beacon, for installation at Mo Chit, Siam, Asok, Sala Daeng, and On Nut BTS stations; wherein customer feedback from the trial phase are above expectations. LINE Beacon has a remarkable click-through rate (CTR) of 30% (depending on the attractiveness of the promotions), as compared to other online advertisements at 1-2%. In other words, customers who received notifications from LINE Beacon are more likely to click on the link ads to access news and promotions than in other channels, which make it a highly effective O2O platform. As consumers enter BTS stations and see advertising posters that have ‘LINE Beacon’ symbol and with the Bluetooth turned on they will automatically receive notifications on the LINE application that will effectively stimulate the “to do”, “to go”, “to know”, and “to buy” moments. This collaboration will undoubtedly bring valuable benefits to both agencies and marketers, since consumers will be exposed to BTS advertisements simultaneously with notifications on the LINE application. Such synergy between the two media will help induce immediate purchases, both at physical stores and online, as well as promote brand awareness and enable consumers to receive additional information about promotional campaigns on the LINE application. This gives consumers the opportunity to review such information again even when they are no longer in that area.
