Many customers are already taking advantage of this new offer – including leading luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue and innovative shoe company FitFlop. FitFlop has used a dedicated rewards program to attract new customers to its full range of comfortable and stylish footwear. Rakuten has introduced targeted offers – with different levels of cashback rewards – to identify customers to incentivize purchase and conversion. The campaign has been very successful in helping FitFlop achieve its strategic goals on a monthly basis. The company saw a 149% increase in new buyers, 83% of whom were new to FitFlop. This improvement in new buyers of FitFlop helped drive an overall increase in shopping trips of 195%.

dabei, aber da man alles nur in Rakuten-Punkten erhält ( wie generell in Europa, aber dort teilweise mit mehr Einsatzmöglichkeiten) statt in Cash wie in den USA bei Rakuten Rewards (früher  Ebates), fehlt da m.E. die Durchschlagskraft:

Und zu kompliziert ist das alles außerdem auch noch - da muss noch an Vereinfachungen gearbeitet werden.

der Rakuten-Punkte gibt es allerdings inzwischen - aber etwas mühsam ist das statt Cash trotzdem:

Rakuten Mobile’s DNA – template, replicate, automate, accelerate

Rakuten are not offering just a blueprint of the future – they are already living in the house they built.

No conference on the future of telecom is complete without Rakuten, and FutureNet Asia was no exception. The thing to remember about Rakuten is that they are not offering just a blueprint of the future – they are already living in the house they built. When their Global Head of AI shares that he shifted from “federated AI” to “democratized AI”, that’s important information to take on board.

Not looking to see if the solution works. It works.

One thought on “Telefónica Deutschland/O2 “pure 5G” with DSS, Open RAN and 5G SA”

Alan Weissberger says:
October 6, 2021 at 20:02

From SDXCENTRAL:

5G open RAN is slated for small scale deployments in Telefónica Germany’s network in the first and second quarter of 2022, making Germany home to the “first sites in Europe working in a pure open RAN ecosystem,” Enrique Blanco, chief technology and information officer at Telefónica said.

“We will be starting in Germany, but later on we will do it in the rest of the countries in Europe (where Telefónica operates) and Brazil,” he said. “Germany is important. It is field testing real traffic. Not looking to see if the solution works. It works.”

Additionally, financial institutions have recognized the value in enabling consumer loyalty and have launched affiliate offerings. For example, ING Dealwise allows brands to employ personalization strategies to connect with consumers in a trusted environment.

Content Commerce

The demand for content consumption has increased and maintaining a user’s attention amongst the various places that content is consumers can be challenging. Content and media houses have had to evolve how they monetize their sites and drive revenue. That’s where content commerce, otherwise known as ‘shoppable content’, comes into play.

Consumers are now more confident in transacting at the point of inspiration. The ability to transact without leaving the publishers environment has led to the natural evolution of content partners. Social platforms also recognize the value of shoppable content, with many integrating shopping capabilities that enable users to shop at the point of inspiration.

Partners like Tipser and Bonsai enable publishers to use technology to deliver shoppable moments within content on an affiliate CPA basis.

Influencers and Live Shopping

Over the last two years, the disruption to the in-store experience has led to greater creative collaboration between brands and influencers. Influencers have stepped into the role of sales assistant to help showcase the inner workings of products, with their reviews and opinions becoming more influential than ever before.

Instagram has recently removed the 10K follower limitation on the swipe-up function within stories. The removal of the follower limits means that anyone can link to a brand or specific product page regardless of whether they’re a macro or micro-influencer. This change will lead to an increase in niche content creators that can partner with brands.

Additionally, the ability to link in stories and the introduction of live shopping platforms like Sauce will lead to more brands and influencers connecting for live shopping events. Sauce is a South Korean partner that creates new consumer experiences through the aggregation of content, commerce, and live streaming.

Rakuten ist an Glovo beteiligt und ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass Rakuten zur Verkäufergruppe gehört hat. Denn die Aktien von Delivery Hero lassen sich problemloser zu Geld machen.

Delivery Hero übernimmt Mehrheit an Liefer-App Glovo

Not just K-pop: Korean TV shows gaining US popularity

By ALICIA RANCILIO August 20, 2021

NEW YORK (AP) — Most nights around 10 p.m. when her family heads off to bed, Carol Holaday signs onto her computer. She’s not falling down Internet rabbit holes of random information or combing through social media at her San Diego home. Holoday is signing on to volunteer with the subtitle translation of Korean TV shows —often referred to as K-dramas— on the streaming platform Rakuten Viki.

Viki has both original and licensed content from Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan and subscribers around the globe. Its largest audience is from the U.S., 75% of which is non-Asian. It offers a tiered subscription, or limited content is available for free with ads.

Viki translations aren’t just to English. “A drama can translate into 20 different languages within 24 hours,” said Yasuda. He said there’s also often waiting lists to help translate on more popular shows. There are a small number of translators who do get paid, if it’s on a show that doesn’t have volunteers or a licensed series that already has subtitles.

The awareness of K-dramas outside Korea seems to be growing, said MacDonald. “The number of people that contacted me in the last year and a half to say, ‘Oh, I just discovered K-dramas, what do you recommend?’ It’s significant.”

Rakuten NFT: The digital media revolution is coming to Japan
September 15, 2021

The new Rakuten NFT service will open its doors early next year, allowing users to buy and sell NFTs as well as enable IP holders to issue NFTs and build sales websites.

NFTs: What are they all about?

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, harness the power of blockchain technology to assign unique identifiers to specific pieces of digital media.

In recent months, the tokens have gained prominence as a way to transfer and verify ownership of assets such as digital art — bringing it closer, in a sense, to physical art. While a piece of digital art (think, a JPEG file) can be duplicated pixel for pixel with a couple of taps on your keyboard, having possession of the NFT assigned to that particular piece of media means that you are the owner of the ‘original’ art.

Most of the headlines surrounding NFTs have focused on visual media such as digital images, GIFs and video clips, but the tokens can be assigned to any unique set of ones and zeroes — music, books and even games. Rakuten’s NFT platform will focus on sports media alongside entertainment assets such as anime and music.

The platform will host a marketplace that will allow users to buy and sell NFTs. However, Rakuten NFT is aiming to be more than a simple marketplace: the team is also looking to provide a one-stop platform for holders of major intellectual property — in categories like sports, anime and music — to issue their own NFTs for users to buy and exchange.

Integrating Rakuten NFT to the Rakuten Ecosystem

The new platform will be integrated fully into the Rakuten Ecosystem, meaning any of Rakuten’s millions of members in Japan can sign in and check out using their existing Rakuten ID. This integration will also allow for collaboration with other Rakuten services, which could potentially pay out gifts or benefits in the form of NFTs.

The earning and spending of Rakuten Points — Rakuten’s ever-popular loyalty program — is also likely to be implemented.

This new venture is hardly Rakuten’s first foray into the world of blockchain. In 2016, the Rakuten Blockchain Lab was established to explore potential applications of blockchain in the fields of e-commerce and fintech. Three years later, Rakuten began providing spot trading services of cryptocurrencies through Rakuten Wallet.

The NFT industry — still in its infancy — remains dominated by tech-savvy crypto enthusiasts. With the launch of this new platform, Rakuten is hoping to simplify NFT technology to the point that holders of intellectual property can issue and trade tokens regardless of their technical knowledge, empowering creators and giving rise to a new digital market.

Recently, the pandemic has kept people indoors and necessitated new lifestyle choices. Rakuten Bank offers the convenience of an entirely-online banking service — one that never requires a visit to a physical location — and the number of public utilities offering Rakuten Bank as an option for automatic money transfers has increased. Rakuten Bank continues to improve its existing services while offering new ones, including a recently-added function which allows users to check their Rakuten Bank account balance using the Rakuten Pay smartphone app, and extending the viewable time frame for account activity histories to include the full account history on the Rakuten Bank website. As a result, after exceeding six trillion yen in (non-consolidated) total deposit balance in June 2021, Rakuten Bank was able to surpass seven trillion yen in approximately six months.

Going forward, Rakuten Bank will continue working to offer innovative and convenient products and services to customers.
