CARRAC and Ozvision's New Affiliate Strategy

CARRAC, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has partnered with Ozvision, located in Shibuya, Tokyo, to unveil a state-of-the-art affiliate marketing plan known as "Survey Surveys x Affiliate Planning." This initiative leverages consumer insights to craft a marketing approach that resonates with today's changing digital landscape.

With the evolution of search algorithms and generative AI, traditional marketing methods are becoming less effective. The new service aims to assist advertisers in improving existing strategies and developing new affiliate initiatives based on authentic consumer feedback. By tapping into the insights provided by the 6 million users of Ozvision’s points mall, "Hapitas," CARRAC gathers high-resolution data on decision-making processes of real customers who have compared, considered, and ultimately made purchases.

This data is then synergized with CARRAC's nearly two decades of expertise in affiliate operations, leading to concrete implementations in areas including persuasive design, content structuring, landing page enhancements, and keyword strategy development. Unlike typical surveys, this initiative connects consumer opinions directly to buying behavior, aiding in operational improvements.

Background of the Service Launch

With the rise of generative AI, the way consumers gather information is shifting from conventional search engines to engaging directly with AI. Today, affiliate media constitutes a significant portion of information sources consulted by AI, transforming affiliate marketing into more than just a channel for acquisition; it is increasingly recognized as a vital informational resources evaluated by AI.

In this evolving landscape, businesses now seek strategies that extend beyond just ranking high on SEO. They need content that is accurately assessed by AI and that is designed from the consumers' perspective. To more effectively deliver essential information to users, it is becoming crucial to design that information based on genuine consumer insights.
