Adventure-Ready Amazfit T-Rex Ultra Pushes Boundaries – Strong and Smart

KUALA LUMPUR, May 15, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Zepp Health Corporation (Zepp), a leading specialist in smart wearables and health technology, has announced that its latest T-Rex Ultra smartwatch is now available in Malaysia. The T-Rex Ultra offers adventure-seekers the ultimate in multi-environment experience through the latest in hi-tech military-grade hardware and software, monitoring, tracking and GPS.

Mr. Wu Jin, General Manager, APAC of Amazfit Malaysia said, "In the fast-paced smart wearable industry, we are constantly pushing ourselves to innovate. This newly launched T-Rex Ultra is packed with massive functionalities and smart technology. It comes with a user-friendly interface featuring a stainless steel body, a BioTracker PPG biometric sensor which supports blood-oxygen tracking, and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi support that enables a multi-environment experience through an optimum series of new features. This is the ideal watch for every outdoor activity; from off-road motorcycling, skydiving, alpine skiing to a walk-in-the-park, sitting on the beach or a dip-in-the-pool."

"The appearance and weight are just right for a smartwatch. Overall, the design is very cool, and the functions are very user-friendly," said Amazfit supporter Ms. Wayne Phoo, DJ at MYFM, who is also an avid diver, "I'm a very active person, but I never had the habit of paying attention to my health indicators. With this Amazfit T-Rex Ultra on my wrist, I can monitor my heart rate, BMI index, step count, exercise records, and more.

The smart watch supports freediving to 30 meters, with 10 ATM water-resistant, making it my perfect diving companion. The freediving function calculates water depth and has a breathing exercise function that helps with underwater activities. Even non-free divers can use this function to track their breathing."

Wayne said, "The battery life is very long. I had more than 20% battery life left after using it actively for a week."

Another Amazfit advocate, En. Ammar Salehan, who is also an active explorer, said, "Amazfit T-Rex Ultra's GPS function with dual-band satellite is solid! I'm extremely pleased with this very helpful safety tool as it can be used as a guide for the correct path and minimizes the probability of getting lost during a hike. The mud-resistant buttons ensure that the smart watch will continue to operate even if the trail is muddy and nasty. A plus point is the altitude assistance and usable offline maps which can be uploaded to the watch to keep the explorer safe on a journey."

A smart function is that the compass can be set on the watch display and auto GPS mode. For someone who often goes into the forest, the compass is used as a direction pointer. As a Muslim, knowing where Qibla, the direction of Mecca is helpful and easy with the compass.

Ammar explained, "The watch is charged with USB, so it was easy for me when I'm in the forest, all I need is a power bank. The completed trail and activities can also be shared with health and fitness apps on my phone. Capturing the events of the adventure can be done through the connection to a GoPro camera for those once-in-a-lifetime moments."

The Amazfit T-Rex Ultra comes with adjustable lugs, 6 GPS satellites, 120 watch faces, an altimeter, compass, weather, tides, sun and moon coverage, and the incomparable Zepp OS, now version 2.0. The T-Rex Ultra comes in two colours, Abyss Black and Sahara, and is available now on Shopee and Lazada for RM1,899. On first come, first serve basis, customers will walk away with one set of waterproof drybag, wind jacket and sport bottle upon purchase on 18th May 2023.

CleverTap Benchmark Reports: Foodtech Apps enjoy 60% higher Repeat Transaction Rates compared to E-commerce apps

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and MUMBAI, India, May 9, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – CleverTap, the World's #1 retention cloud, released the findings of its Foodtech and E-Commerce industry Benchmark Reports. Foodtech and e-commerce apps experienced exponential growth during the pandemic. According to App Annie's State of Mobile Report 2022, time spent on shopping apps scaled to more than 100 billion hours – up 18% year-on-year. Users spent 50% more sessions YoY in 2021 than in 2020 on foodtech apps. The benchmark reports reflect data collected from Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America.

The findings offer insight into how consumers engage with foodtech and e-commerce apps. Marketers can craft and deliver personalized messages and campaigns that can help drive engagement, retention, and growth. Some of the key metrics in the report include:

https://www.acnnewswire.com/docs/Multimedia/20230509_CleverTap.jpg

"The findings from our benchmark reports are aimed to help marketers improve engagement and user journeys by providing insights into the behavior of e-commerce and foodtech app users." said Jacob Joseph, VP-Data Science, CleverTap. "As the app economy continues to expand, foodtech and e-commerce marketers will need to find ways to drive customer 'stickiness' which currently stands at a meager 15% and 17% respectively. Customized messaging informed by behavioral insights are crucial to get customers to return to the app interface and drive up this metric."

For e-commerce marketers, the challenge and opportunity is to ensure that their company's app not only stands out in a crowded and fiercely competitive market. But also encourages users to make quick purchases, return frequently to buy more, and hopefully, spend a sizable sum with each transaction.

16% of new users of foodtech apps complete more than one transaction in the first week. Best-in-class customer service will help boost this metric and keep customers returning for more. Foodtech companies need to be quick to offer special deals to new users and drive conversions. The benchmark report helps foodtech and e-commerce apps understand how to build successful mobile communication campaigns, and also allows growth marketers to discover areas that require greater focus.

Amplifidor Closes Pre-Seed Funding Round to Disrupt the Influencer Industry

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Apr 26, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Amplifidor, the forthcoming web and mobile platform that aims to transform the influencer industry by bridging the gap between creators, brands, and fans, has successfully closed on its pre-seed funding. The funding round was led by multiple institutional and value-add angel investors who recognized the potential of the platform's innovative approach to influencer marketing automation and network relations management.

Amplifidor resonate graphic – Amplifidor icon, logo, and branding pattern.

The Amplifidor platform has been designed as a space for open collaboration between influencers and their communities, along with brands and their stockholders. The platform's amplified discovery algorithms suggest collaboration candidates based on users' interests and shared values, making it easier than ever to find new opportunities, and join ongoing campaigns, which are called "missions".

Creators can manage their network, track their growth, and find new creators or brands to work with, while brands are able to search for the perfect creators or communities that fit their needs, track their influencer ROI, and manage their collaborations all in one place. Brands can also unleash their internal influence by discovering and engaging internal influencers and stakeholders, like employees, investors, advisors and others.

Mr. Adel Alsubeaei is also announced to be joining the board of directors, bringing extensive entrepreneurial & financial expertise, and ecosystem connections. Mr. Adel has more than 20 years of experience in the financial industry while serving on boards of directors at various institutions and other committees. Mr. Adel had this to say about the future of Amplifidor: "This investment will enable a truly industry-shaking platform to enter public beta, first in the MENA region and then throughout the world. Social marketing is very siloed at the moment – a platform that makes collaborative relationships more fluid is a very big deal."

Chief Vision Officer and founder of Amplifidor, Faisal Alqahtani, a recognized thought-leader on social influence, and the mastermind behind many influencer marketing industry innovations and standards, such as "The Fair Market Pricing Initiative", "The Social Influence Matrix" and the "Direct Influence Strategy Format", has led strategy and execution with multiplied ROI and cost savings for over 500 high-profile startups, brands, and government programs (G20, Riyadh Season, Hungerstation, etc). Faisal recognized that the concept of "influencers" was becoming less and less accessible, while the influence of the average social networker continued to grow. This led to his co-founding of the company alongside co-founder Waleed Alqahtani to enable a more inclusive and collective economy of influence.

Speaking on the close of the funding round, Faisal commented, "Our vision is to be the enabler of more meaningful and purposeful human connection, communication and collaboration, with more collective creation of wealth and culture. The world needs less individualistic and reactive social influencers and content creators, and more proactive impact amplifiers and inclusive community ambassadors – thus the name Amplifidor. We are at a moment in history between the no-more and not-yet, transitioning to a whole new reality – and we're well positioned to shape the future and the narrative of our industry and adjacent markets, leveraging the significant shift in social and business norms."

Co-founder Waleed Alqahtani is also excited about what this round of funding will mean for Amplifidor, stating: "This round will enable us to build the platform, the services and the ecosystem that will empower each social media user to grow their influence and become part of something bigger, and each organization to achieve sustainable growth with the support of their extended networks, regardless of their size, budget and objectives."

The founder also notes the impact that this round will have on continued team growth – stating, "We've got great leadership in place and a full plan to scale with a new round of partnerships and hiring starting today. We really want everyone to be part of the Amplifidor movement and ecosystem, with so many collaborations, partnerships and incubation programs to be announced soon, to co-shape and co-own the future of influence. We believe that everyone can positively influence and be influenced, given the empowering tools, opportunities and platform."

A private alpha test of the platform is already well underway, and excited users won't have to wait long to finally install Amplifidor on their iOS and Android devices – the web app and public beta are planned to launch early this summer. The company encourages anyone interested in staying updated on development progress and beta announcements to sign up at www.amplifidor.com
