Since LINE Official Account 2.0 launched in 2020, businesses have been looking for new ways to run their accounts. Blasting every message to all friends had become too expensive, and brands wanted to understand their LINE friends better. Segmentation means getting to know your friends through tags. When someone adds your account, they are a blank slate: you only know their name, email, and phone number. Conversations, online behavior, clicks, interests, and preferences gradually bring their profile into focus.

Since 2020, the pandemic has swept the globe, transforming not only our daily lives but also how businesses operate. Going to the office every day gave way to WFH, which has become the norm in many countries. Unable to reach customers the way they used to, many companies began looking for solutions. With third-party cookies being phased out and Apple asking users whether they want to be tracked, the cost of acquiring new customers has risen sevenfold, making customer retention a critical priority.

Whatever your industry, winning repeat customers is a key business strategy.
