Also, the enhancement of the interaction between commercial stores and end users brings improvement and gets to know the habits and preferences of the end users. It also recalls BeaDaPoint as a professional & healthy brand image. Besides, our promotion video demonstrated how BeaDaPoint adopts the influency of technology to provide a better life to Hong Kong smartphone user and the usage flow. By using vivid art direction, simple and fun description of BeaDaPoint, it drives users attentions on the latest consuming platform application in Hong Kong.
CHALLENGE: Before initiating the plan of BeaDaPoint app, there was no any former information technology application in Hong Kong. It is difficult to predict the usage of virtual money (iBeaCon) in a unprecedented way. In the traditional consumer shopping behaviour, they likely receive flocks of information from print or online advertisement. But with applying our technology, the users can experience a new shopping mode by watching latest online ads from BeaDaPoint app and gain points for redeeming coupons, which is more interactive. Similarly, we can provide an alternative platform for the shop owners to promote their latest products or information. However, the transformation of the shopping practice maybe not be satisfied for the customers.
