DOU+Traffic Carnival Goes Online, Joy Spreader Utilizes Data Algorithm to achieve “Precise Promotion” of 618 Festival

HONG KONG, Jun 17, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – The 618 Mid-year Shopping Festival has entered the sprint stage. This year, DouYin, the short video e-commerce platform, takes the first initiatives to influence and participate the festival. Its DOU+ has officially launched the "618 Traffic Carnival" campaign, with three major targeted scenarios, namely promoting traffic for stores, increasing traffic with "small windmills", and promoting preferential products, assisting entrepreneurs in approaching target users "precisely", so as to seize strategic node traffic and generate additional sales.

It is reported that the Traffic Carnival of DOU+ will provide traffic promotion services for businesses, which in turn will provide a broader market for marketing service providers on DouYin ecosystem chain. DOU+ helps merchants expand their compatible traffic pools. In order to take full advantages of DOU+ and achieve final profit realization, sophisticated and powerful algorithm should play the most significant role to achieve the purpose of precise matching, so that the tremendous traffic of 618 can be converted into precise and tangible profits.

Under the scenario of "product recommendation" of the e-commerce, in order to apply DOU+ to "product recommendation" videos, "precise" setting is required by merchants to approach targeted audience to promote their merchandises. In this way, directional promotion of traffic from short videos to Taobao/Tmall/JD stores can be optimized and improved, boosting the efficiency in converting best-selling items and increasing merchandises' traffic. Under the scenario of live streaming e-commerce, merchants require "precise" traffic directing through real-time interaction in order to stimulate and arouse users' consumption interests to promote conversion. Under the scenario of store exploration on DouYin, with the help of DOU+'s "preferential products promotion" to reach targeted customers, local merchants "precisely" position local customers, in order to improve stores' effective rate of reaching users in the same cities through the traffic of 618.

Observers mentioned that the e-commerce shopping festival is shifting towards the "precise" operation, representing the inevitable trend of e-commerce development in the era of data algorithms. It also provides mutual benefits for various parties, such as MarTech service providers with data algorithm capabilities, among which Joy Spreader is an absolute leader. Combination of high-quality traffic of DOU+ and precise algorithm of the service providers can support businesses effectively to match with the consumers' demands and reach more precise target groups to making full use of the traffic, while assisting product distribution of entrepreneurs and precise monetization of content publishers.

According to the data, Joy Spreader is one of the first MarTech companies to obtain sufficient advantages by taking early initiatives in the video e-commerce segment in China. Since January 2019, Joy Spreader became one of the first service providers on DouYin ecosystem with the utilization of data algorithm and interest recommendation technology to promote video content monetization business. By the end of the Q1 2021, Joy Spreader has access to more than 639,000 realizable access points on its new media database, including large proportion of DouYin accounts.

Experts predicts that given the exponential growth of short video e-commerce, DouYin, as the most influential platform, entering the fierce competition of 618, will certainly bring a new "precise" vitality to 618 with its interest recommendation technology and unique characteristics. Joy Spreader, one of the major powers forces in the ecosystem of short video e-commerce, the sophisticated algorithm capability as its core competitiveness will be further demonstrated through the 618 promotion, becoming a strong momentum and key driver for continuous development of the ecosystem of short video e-commerce.

New AppsFlyer Report Finds View-through Attribution Impacts Ad Clicks and App Installs

SINGAPORE, Jun 7, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – AppsFlyer, the global attribution leader, today released its inaugural View-Through Attribution (VTA) Report. From Q4 2020 until February 2021, the report looked at impressions, examined video content, and VTA campaigns performance across 6 SEA countries (Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines) and 9 Industries (Shopping, Travel, Gaming, Finance, Entertainment, Education, Food & Drink, Lifestyle, and Health & Fitness) with the objective to provide marketers with insights into how right attributions could capture true consumer journey, increase optimization and drive benefits.

The report found that ads and videos are so immersive and engaging that users do not necessarily interact with the ad immediately because they do not want to leave the video experience midway. These users said they expect to engage with brands in a meaningful way as they claimed to be 1.5X more likely to purchase an item. Video exposure is impactful and influences purchase behavior. Incorporating VTA can help allocate credit in line with true consumer behavior.

In a study by Nielsen and Teluna, commissioned by TikTok For Business, consumers on video platforms said they will continue browsing content before moving to external websites or apps, with YouTube users supporting 60% of this statement, 58% on TikTok, 45% on Instagram and 40% on Facebook. This means that marketers should look beyond immediate click behaviour to accurately measure brand engagement.

VTA is an important metric to accurately measure the true user journey, since many users will purchase an item or install an app at a later stage. The report found that all SEA markets have at least VTA windows of 24 to 48 hours with up to 83.8% conversion rate.

"Constantly looking to expand our horizons, we are pleased to announce the all-new inaugural view-through attribution report. Southeast Asia's flourishing video content landscape is providing advertisers with novel ways to tap into new opportunities when engaging customers in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. We encourage marketers to use the report to utilise key data and insights on how best to maximise their campaign performances and understand the interconnections between determining metrics, behaviours and trends across Southeast Asian mobile app users," states Ronen Mense, President and Managing Director for APAC, AppsFlyer.

Video ad inventories have become a growing mechanism in Southeast Asia, especially amid Southeast Asia's flight to digital, accounting for 40% of all programmatic ad spends in the region. From this, short video ads of approximately 10 seconds drive installs or post-install events on platforms such as TikTok, making it a popular choice for advertisers to utilise in their campaigns. The rise of video has turned marketers towards using VTA models to best attribute their marketing efforts, compared to when using non-video inventories. The VTA Report also emphasised that marketers still need to incorporate a call to action to encourage conversion – as Impression-to-Install still remains somewhat low.

The report also found that due to the longer consideration process for "high-involvement" verticals, higher VTA is seen. Amongst all verticals examined, Finance in particular showed that despite fewer video impressions, more conversions were accredited to view-through attribution. High VTA rates were also seen in other verticals such as eCommerce and Media & Entertainment, with the lowest VTA rate seen in Gaming – averaging out at slightly less than a day across all countries. Marketers should therefore consider re-calibrating their attribution models according to their vertical and incorporate VTA as an important metric for conversions, as many users may not convert upon their first view.

Additional highlights from the report:

– Key festivities such as Singles' Day and New Year and lockdowns play an important role in peaks in clicks in the Food and Drink vertical, driven by VTA in Singapore and Indonesia.
— Health & Fitness apps in particular saw a spike in Southeast Asian markets in October, especially Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, mainly as a result of cross-regional awareness campaigns. A similar outcome was seen in December during the transition to the new year with health and fitness, and shopping apps.

– Marketers that are able to measure and optimize a CTA and VTA method have seen success in their campaigns.
— In Southeast Asia, ecommerce, media & entertainment, and finance are the verticals with the highest CTA + VTA and are able to optimize ads by 113% faster with low spend.
— TikTok data shows industries such as Finance, E-commerce and Media and Entertainment recorded at least 22.8% VTA conversions when compared with CTA conversions across Southeast Asia in 2020 and VTA conversions can go up to 90.8%.

– The importance of the VTA model: if the average attribution window for one vertical is one day, an Install registered by a viewer would be accredited as most users in Southeast Asia need access to WiFi to download an app.

– Singapore, being a more developed market, has a longer average attribution window of close to 1.5 days unlike just over a day in Philippines and Thailand as consumers in established economies take a longer time to convert.

– iOS 14.5's Ad Tracking Transparency feature is still being implemented and will change the app economy and ability to measure campaigns. However, Apple's SKAdNetwork, an API for measurement of ad campaigns, continues to provide advertisers with a VTA measurement option, while maintaining the privacy of the users. This emphasises that advertisers should still consider VTA as part of iOS14 dedicated campaigns. TikTok has supported SKAN CTA since the rollout of iOS 14.5 in late April 2021. Starting from June 2021, TikTok has also started to support SKAN VTA via an open beta, with more tests to be conducted before an official general release.

The AppsFlyer report analysed over 14,600 apps, 10.39 billion installs, and 6.3 billion remarketing conversions, and takes into account both click-through attribution (CTA) and view-through attribution (VTA). CTA looks at installs made after clicking on an ad while VTA registers ad impressions that result in an install without the user immediately clicking on an ad. The app may sometimes be installed a day or two later and helps to outline a typical customer's journey.

This POC proved that the digital signatory management workflows jointly co-designed by the POC participants and executed using Delega's technology represented a significant efficiency gain over the current tools and processes available in the market today.

The Delega tool leverages cutting-edge technologies to help organisations manage signatory rights on a fully digital and integrated basis. The challenges that treasurers and their teams face when managing signatory rights across multiple banks are well-known across the industry. Yet in the digital age, managing signatories is essential when it comes to enabling users to interact with banks. The goal has been to transform what is typically a time-consuming process requiring extensive supporting documentation and manual work. It is also further complicated by the fact that different banks have specific sets of rules and procedures.

During the POC, corporate banking clients benefited from higher transparency and a clear view of the supporting documents each participating bank required, and the digitalization of the exchange of the documents therefore enforcing "first time right" approach in the process. This strengthened the use case of a multi-bank solution that enabled corporate participants to follow a single workflow process in compliance with differing regulatory and policy requirements of individual banks. The POC also proved, using the Delega tool, that both banks and their corporate customers had exactly the same view of which signatories held which authority levels in real time, removing the need for extensive interaction and communication that is normally needed by large multinationals during an audit to prove "who can sign for what, with which bank".

Eliminating inefficient processes is fundamental to the progression of financial services and technologies. It is the driving force behind recent innovations to alleviate the strain organisations are currently experiencing to meet increased and varied demands.

Deutsche Bank, Barclays and Delega are striving to foster and champion further innovation in the banking industry.
