Viber can be a powerful solution for companies, mainly because its chat features are great tools for customer care. You can use it for multiple things relating to your business, such as promoting your company with Viber Public Account. It makes it easier to share fresh information and product pictures with your existing customers. Consequently, a lot of businesses have recognized the potential of Viber early on. Rightfully so, considering instant messaging is a part of the daily life for many people.

Viber, one of the leading global messaging apps, introduced the Viber Communities less than four months ago, and thus became the first app of its kind to offer options for chatting and sharing all kinds of content for a billion people at the same time. While other messaging apps in the market limit group chats to several hundred or thousands of users, Viber pushed the boundaries and now offers its users a unique opportunity for global connectivity at an unprecedented level – up to 1 billion users in a single group chat.

And therefore it is very important, that your read the complete talk with Zarena Kancheva, Viber’s Head of Marketing and PR for the CEE region in this source.

Ahead of our Programmatic Lunch on 23 November, we have been talking to some of the event’s partners to get their thoughts on the current digital advertising landscape. Here we talk to Cristina Constandache, chief advertising officer at Viber, about in-app programmatic.

MM: Starting off right at the beginning, how does in-app programmatic differ to mobile web and desktop?
CC: “First of all, there is a lot more demand for desktop programmatic than for mobile and especially in-app. Viber only have in-app inventory and, as such, we encounter a lot of challenges from simply finding the right ad server and to finding the right demand.

“For some reason, it seems the advertisers are not yet fully comfortable or confident to spend on in-app. Demand is even scarcer when it comes to native ads, which Viber privileges. And we know that, despite the fact that it’s growing, native ads represent 20-25 percent of demand out there on a good day.”

von fast 2500 YEN auf 802 zurück nach 10 Jahren HAUSSE

Im Posting  3047 hatte ich aus der dortigen Quelle zu Rakuten zitiert:

„The company's consolidated operating income for 2018 is forecast to rise about 20% on the year to more than 170 billion yen, according to International Financial Reporting Standards, setting a record for the second consecutive year.“

In Dollar umgerechnet sind das bei 1 Yen =  0,0092 etwas mehr als 1,5 Milliarden US-Dollar Gewinn für Rakuten in 2018.

Amazon hat laut nachstehender Quelle in den einzelnen Quartalen des Jahres 2018 1,629 Milliarden plus 2,534 Milliarden plus 2,883 Milliarden plus 3,02 Milliarden = insgesamt 10,006 Milliarden in 2018 Gewinn gemacht.

de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/...zon-quartalszahlen/

Verglichen mit dem Konkurrenten Rakuten ist das ca. 6,6-mal so viel als dessen etwas mehr als 1,5 Milliarden Gewinn.

Aber auch dem gestrigen Rücksetzer um mehr als 5% beträgt die Markkapitalisierung von Amazon noch 795,176 Milliarden US-Dollar.

finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN?p=AMZN&.tsrc=fin-srch

Bricht man davon ausgehend den Wert von Rakuten herunter, käme man auf eine Bewertung für Rakuten von 795,176 Milliarden US-Dollar geteilt durch 6,6 = 120,48 Milliarden.

Das ist aber mehr als 12-fache, was Rakuten gestern mit 9,872 Milliarden aufwies.

Japanese Rakuten, the world’s fifth largest e-commerce company, has posted a 16.4 % turnover growth in the first six months of 2018, while its profit grew even faster (+60 %). Still, the company sees the need for an internal reorganisation to better deal with demanding circumstances.

No harm from Amazon
Despite the growth of Amazon in Japan, e-commerce remains the most important factor in Rakuten's growth (the company is also active in telecom and finance): the branch saw its turnover rise 16.1 % and its profit 28.8 %.

Rakuten e-commerce' will hold the company's e-commerce activities in Japan, where Rakuten is market leader with a share of 27 % (or 25 billion euro) in 2017. Telecom activities will be grouped in 'Rakuten Mobile Network' and the financial branch in 'Rakuten Card'. A (so far nameless) entity will hold the company's foreign activities, consisting of Rakuten France (former Priceminister) as well as American companies Buy and Ebates and German Tradoria.

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to lead Pinterest IPO
By Anthony Noto  – Reporter, New York Business Journal
Jan 29, 2019, 8:57pm ESTJPMorgan and Goldman Sachs to lead Pinterest IPO

Pinterest has hired New York-based investment banks Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. to lead its initial public offering (IPO).

According to Reuters, San Francisco-based Pinterest could raise around $1.5 billion in the IPO, which is likely to come in the first six months of 2019.

Pinterest's trades on the secondary market valued the company at between $13 billion and $15 billion last year. Before that, it was valued at $12 billion on the heels of its recent fundraising round in 2017.

von Ant Financial ansieht, stellt man sich logischerweise auch die Frage, was sie Fintech-Umsätze von Rakuten wert sind.

Die im nachstehenden Text gelieferten Daten zum Umsatz von Ant Financial (8,9 Milliarden) kann man mit den Fintech-Umsätzen von Rakuten vergleichen.

Explainer: Ant Financial's $150 billion valuation, and the big recent bump-up
Kane Wu, Julie Zhu
          §
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Ant Financial’s rapid climb to become the world’s biggest super unicorn valued by some investors at around $150 billion showcases investor enthusiasm for the biggest Chinese tech companies and also how quickly valuations can shift.

Analysts at Barclays estimate that online payments accounted for 55 per cent of Ant’s $8.9 billion revenue last year, but they expect that to fall to one-third by 2021 as the company focuses on encouraging its 600 million customers to use more of its other, higher-margin services.

www.reuters.com/article/...e-big-recent-bump-up-idUSKBN1HP1AA

Aus den Statista-Werten kann man entnehmen, dass die Fintech-Umsätze bei etwa einem Drittel der Umsätze von Ant Fiancial liegen, das mit 150 Milliarden bewertet wird.

www.statista.com/statistics/223360/...internet-finance-sales/

The time series shows the revenue of the Rakuten Group's fintech sector as of the second quarter of 2018. In the most recently reported quarter the Tokyo-based e-commerce company's consolidated internet finance sales value amounted to approximately 105 billion Japanese yen. This revenue was generated through Rakuten Card, Rakuten Bank, Rakuten Securities as well as Rakuten e-money "Edy".

Geht man von den Fintech-Umsätzen der beiden Unternehmen aus, könnte man daraus eine Bewertung des Fintech-Bereichs von Rakuten von 50 Milliarden US-Dollar ableiten. Aber das komplette Unternehmen Rakuten, von dem der Fintech-Breich nur einer von vier der zukünfitigen Bereiche sein wird, wird insgesamt noch nicht einmal mit 10 Milliarden US-Dollar bewertet.

Europa geschafft? Meines Wissens nicht.

Japan’s top mobile payments solution

In just two years, the Rakuten Pay app has firmly established its position as Japan’s top mobile payments solution. Research conducted by Rakuten through Intage in 2018 revealed that Rakuten Pay not only has the most users, but also enjoys the highest customer satisfaction rating and the most attractive incentives among payment apps.

The app takes advantage of Rakuten’s ubiquitous ID system in Japan, connecting seamlessly to the Rakuten Ecosystem: Users need only to log in with their Rakuten ID and select a payment card. Shoppers can elect to pay using Rakuten Super Points instead of a credit card, and can even earn points back on purchases.

Adding to the app’s success is the large number of stores that accept it. Currently over 1.2 million locations are part of Rakuten’s payment network, from Rakuten Pay to Rakuten Edy, Rakuten Point Card and Rakuten Card affiliate stores.

Dass mit der Zeit der Zahlungsdienst mehr wert sein kann als der ursprüngliche E-Commerce haben wir bei Ebay und Paypal ja schon einmal erlebt.
