BeeCruise Partners with SKIYAKI for Enhanced Fan Engagement
BeeCruise Co., a member of the BEENOS Group that specializes in supporting cross-border e-commerce and the global expansion of Japanese content, has officially kicked off a collaborative effort with SKIYAKI, Inc., a firm renowned for its fan club platform. This partnership aims to bridge the gap between international fans and Japanese entertainment creators by integrating BeeCruise’s cross-border e-commerce service, Buyee Connect, into SKIYAKI's platform, including its flagship service, Bitfan Pro.
Background of the Collaboration
In recent years, the rise of social media platforms such as YouTube has transformed the relationship between creators and their audiences. Many creators based in Japan now enjoy a global following, thanks to their activities being broadcasted worldwide through social media. This shift has prompted an increasing demand for merchandise sales aimed at international fans. To address this demand, SKIYAKI has decided to adopt Buyee Connect, a service well-known for its ease of implementation and rich history with various platforms, to facilitate merchandise sales for Japanese entertainment companies looking to tap into overseas markets.
The collaboration will initially launch with the enterprise-level service, Bitfan Pro, with plans to expand to the free-to-use Bitfan platform in the future. By overcoming obstacles related to language, payment processing, and international shipping, Buyee will enable SKIYAKI's clients to sell their products to fans across approximately 120 countries and regions. This will allow international fans to purchase directly from official sites, thereby supporting their favorite creators.
Insights from SKIYAKI's CEO
Tomohiro Kokubo, the representative director of SKIYAKI, shared his enthusiasm for this new initiative. He remarked, "To deliver a more convenient purchasing experience not just for our domestic fans but also for international fans, we have decided to integrate Buyee Connect by the BEENOS Group. We are thrilled that creators using our platform will now be able to sell and fans will be able to purchase merchandise freely across borders."
