Introducing the First Ever Single-Brand Rewards Programme in South Africa – Royco Rewards

Think of Rewards or Loyalty Programmes, and immediately your mind goes to the retail store brands, like Clicks or Dis-Chem. Why have we not yet seen a loyalty programme rewarding customers for their regular purchase of a single brand? Because, historically there has been the big challenge of proving that the shopper actually bought the product in order to reward them, especially for brands enjoyed by the mass-market of South Africa.

Today, through the collaboration of client and marketing specialists Mobitainment, ARC South Africa, and Asakhane, we are proud to say that we have beat that challenge by enabling smart technology… […]

From Mobile First to Mobile Forced – What SA Marketers need to know… Challenge: Cost of Data & Airtime?

I believe the biggest challenge we have seen in the marketplace, that affects the use of mobile media and marketing, is the cost and availability of data, especially during these times.

For a while now, data could cost financially constrained South Africans 100 times more when purchased in small bundles, and during lockdown this issue has only escalated.

With Covid-19 having changed the way we communicate: the more limited access to Wifi at work, schools, community centres or in shopping malls, and the limitations and inconvenience of not being able to physically purchase more when needed, has led many South Africans to not have airtime or data when marketers need them to respond.

To overcome this challenge, let your brand sponsor your customers’ engagement by reverse billing their costs. How? […]

From Mobile First to Mobile Forced – What SA Marketers need to know… Trend: WhatsApp?

We monitor the trends in using WhatsApp carefully…

It was reported in Feb 2021 that 97% of South African Internet Users are using Chat Apps, with 93% having used WhatsApp in the past month. These figures increased exponentially during lockdown. The market research firm Kantar conducted a survey in Apr 2020 finding that WhatsApp experienced the biggest increase across media channels, with a net 71% increase over the previous month. The usage of WhatsApp may be affected by the recent announcement of their planned new privacy policy, with users being fragmented across other Chat platforms like Telegram and Signal, but we believe this to be marginal if at all.

From Mobile First to Mobile Forced – What SA Marketers need to know… Opportunity: Video + Data?

But the opportunity for marketers is in making the video engaging and relevant to the viewer… How? By combining video and data to create a personalised and/or interactive video experience. […]
