Description
Providing Advertising Space Facilities and Loyalty Points schemes are proven to encourage engagement in marketplaces, social platforms and-all.
AD Boosters will discover items in a high supply economy boosting high and low exposure items:
FACT - According to āOnlineSales.aiā, āIntroducing merchant-funded product listing ads can give a boost (to the Bottomline of the marketplace) of more than 50% of the revenue generated through GMV (Gross Merchandise Value). It significantly strengthens the revenue model of a marketplace.ā
Loyalty Programme:
FACT :-
- According to FORBES ā78% of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand with a loyalty programā
- According to FinExtra ā71% of consumers say loyalty rewards programs are a meaningful part of their brand relationshipā
Selling wearables ā Noticeably, there is a large supply of wearables entering the marketplace daily which gives sellers less time on the āNewest Itemsā list and at the top of the page of the item category.
The grant provided will fund version 1.0 which will be the initial instalment to AD BOOSTER & LLP. We anticipate that there will be further updates & added features required post the project going LIVE from internal & external sources.
