(※2) Starting this time, the number of stores that have adopted "GMO Customer Attraction Capsule PRO," a new service released on February 14, 2017, is included.
"GMO Customer Attraction Up Capsule" is an ASP service that allows you to create original O2O apps (compatible with iPhone®/Android™) aimed at attracting customers to brick-and-mortar stores such as restaurants, beauty salons, nail salons, accommodation facilities, hospitals, and dental clinics. We regularly expand and enhance functions to meet diverse market needs so that stores in a variety of industries, including restaurants and facilities, can utilize it to attract customers. In particular, the app incorporates existing methods for attracting customers and promoting store visits, such as "coupons" that allow you to deliver special offers by narrowing down user attributes, and "stamp cards" that encourage repeat visits and increase repeat rates. These functions have been highly praised by stores for their effective O2O marketing.
In addition, in November 2016, we partnered with Toreta, a restaurant reservation and customer ledger service, to strengthen our reservation functions, enabling instant reservations, and we are constantly working to improve user convenience.
Furthermore, in February 2017, we released a new service called "GMO Customer Attraction Capsule PRO," an upgraded version of "GMO Customer Attraction Capsule" for store and facility operators who consider using apps as their main promotional and customer attraction tool. This service allows for flexible customization to suit the needs of stores and facilities, as if it were being developed in-house.
Thanks to these efforts, the number of stores adopting the system has exceeded 3,000 in just seven months since surpassing 2,000 stores in October 2016.
Going forward, "GMO Customer Attraction Capsule" and "GMO Customer Attraction Capsule PRO" will continue to strive to improve the quality of their services as well as expand their functions in order to help more stores attract customers and increase sales.
