On June 30, Rakuten Viber led by its Chief Revenue Officer Cristina Constandache, Global Sales &amp; B2B Marketing Senior Director Etienne Dupont, and Senior Messaging Partnership Manager Berina Tanovic gathered at the iconic Blackbird in Makati City with local partners, brands, and members of the press to discuss how the communications platform is shaping the future of conversational commerce. They presented how c-commerce remains to become an important business and marketing tool in the post-pandemic world, especially in the Philippines, which is one of the app’s key growth markets in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.&nbsp;The future of conversational commerce starts hereFor the past few years, brands both big and small have witnessed the phenomenal rise of <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/what-is-conversational-commerce/">conversational commerce </a>or what they called c-commerce, particularly at the height of the lockdowns brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accessible and convenient, conversational commerce allows any brand to quickly respond to their customers’ needs in a way that’s more natural and personal. Now that borders and markets are opening up, it’s a good time to examine how consumers and businesses can continue to maximize the advantages of c-commerce.&nbsp;Based on the data collected from January to May 2022 versus the same period in 2021, Rakuten Viber stressed that there has been a 123% growth in its conversational business messages, proving that business messages are emerging to become a vital fixture in business plans. In the Philippines, 51% of the top brands that are using Rakuten Viber Business Messages come from finance, 27%—from retail, 10%—from hospitality and travel, 6%—from telecommunications and IT, 3%—from health and insurance, and another 3%—from logistics.At the same time, Cristina Constandache in her presentation underlined that Filipinos remain to be avid social media and app users, spending online through their mobile at an average of <a href="https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2022-philippines" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">5 hours and 47 minutes</a>. But brands should also keep in mind that <a href="https://www.genesys.com/resources/state-of-cx-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">69% of APAC consumers</a> including Filipinos prefer using mobile <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/improve-customer-service-with-viber-messaging-solutions/">messaging for customer service</a>. She also pointed out that <a href="https://www.braze.com/resources/reports-and-guides/2022-global-customer-engagement-review?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=paid-search&amp;utm_campaign=fy23-q2-emea-mea_tofu-customer-engagement&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwk_WVBhBZEiwAUHQCmb9M3J4np3h52biXLnr0smOfM0GXo6KZPi-q57CBW5XJtGqrMQi-DBoCvs0QAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">3.1X increase </a>in user lifetimes among APAC brands that engage customers via a mobile communication channel, allowing them to move customers down the funnel.<figure class="image"><img src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Cristina_Constandache_Chief_Revenue_Officer_at_Rakuten_Viber_3847497bef.JPG"><figcaption>Cristina Constandache, Chief Revenue Officer at Rakuten Viber</figcaption></figure>Rakuten Viber for Business solutions for seamless brand-user communicationsA global leader in messaging communication that has become a go-to platform where people come to connect with family, friends, and colleagues—and this time, with brands too, Rakuten Viber is offering a suite of business solutions for seamless brand-user communications. Etienne Dupont highlighted certain business solutions for <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/connecting-with-your-audience-through-viber-at-all-steps-of-the-customer-journey/">each point in a marketing funnel</a>. Rakuten Viber offers branded Stickers and <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/blog/post/rakuten-viber-snap-partnership/">Lenses</a>, Ads, Business Messages, Chatbots, and forthcoming Flash calls with Business calls, – these solutions help to build awareness, consideration, conversion, and loyalty.&nbsp;He also emphasized the role and practical use cases of <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/messaging-solutions/">Rakuten Viber messaging solutions</a> for brands in offering a more personalized interaction with customers in every touchpoint. <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/business-messages/">Rakuten Viber Business Messages</a> can help brands manage bookings, orders, and deliveries, and even provide post-sales support and collect feedback. What’s even great about this c-commerce tool is that it allows two-way conversations and enhance their chats by allowing brands and users to exchange files, photos, and videos.&nbsp;Etienne Dupont also explained how <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/chatbots/">Chatbots </a>can benefit brands, especially now that 82% of consumers expect immediate response on their queries. With Chatbots that’s also offered by Rakuten Viber, brands now can provide their customers with an elevated automated messaging service that’s available 24/7, offering more perks like opportunities to shop and pay for items right within a single app.<figure class="image"><img src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Etienne_Dupont_Global_Sales_and_B2_B_Marketing_Senior_Director_at_Rakuten_Viber_d29be2d6d7.JPG"><figcaption>Etienne Dupont, Global Sales &amp; B2B Marketing Senior Director at Rakuten Viber</figcaption></figure>How brands succeed with Rakuten Viber for BusinessBerina Tanovic then presented success stories of brands that trusted Rakuten Viber’s business solutions. One of these includes Philippine-based <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/success-stories/story/quadx/">QuadX </a>that specializes in digital logistics and e-commerce fulfillment and payments. Recently, they launched a new opportunity called ShippingCart Plus, for subscribers to have a chat with a Personal Account Manager via Rakuten Viber’s conversational business messages. The messaging solution is provided by the trusted Rakuten Viber partner Promotexter. Like a concierge, users can ask live agents for sale alerts, shopping advice, follow-up shipments, special handling, etc. This responds to the study that says&nbsp; <a href="https://www.podium.com/guides/2021-messaging-trends/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">74% of customers</a> prefer messaging with businesses if a real person is responding. As a result, ShippingCart has 100% customer satisfaction.Another successful example is the <a href="https://www.forbusiness.viber.com/en/success-stories/story/primer/">Primer Group</a> of Companies which wanted to provide an alternative and safer avenue for customers to buy essentials during the pandemic. With the help of Rakuten Viber’s official partner Infobip, they enabled online purchases with digital vouchers using codes with discounts sent through Rakuten Viber Business Messages. The results were quite telling: the brand achieved a 53% code redemption conversion rate and a 401% uptick in total sales.<figure class="image"><img src="https://env-stage-hosting.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/Berina_Tanovic_Senior_Messaging_Partnership_Manager_at_Rakuten_Viber_82985e7128.JPG"><figcaption>Berina Tanovic, Senior Messaging Partnership Manager at Rakuten Viber</figcaption></figure>The possibilities for brands and users are limitless, especially with Rakuten Viber’s long-term vision to become a super-app, a single gateway to multiple services, as Cristina Constandache pointed out."Today people no longer want to use apps for different needs separately. On average, app users spend 77% of their time on their top 3 apps, and almost half of their time in one single app. People nowadays seek one gateway to many options in one place,—says Cristina Constandache, Chief Revenue Officer at Rakuten Viber.—Rakuten Viber’s long-term goals for consumers and for brands form a single all-encompassing strategy of becoming a super-app: to maximize utility of the app for the user base, so that consumers could solve as many tasks as possible without leaving the comfort of the app—and to allow brands to reach their audience at each stage of the customer journey".
