Joint Venture to Enhance Monetization of LINE Mini Apps
On November 10, 2023, two companies under CARTA HOLDINGS,
fluct and
DIGITALIO, announced a collaborative effort aimed at resolving monetization challenges faced by a multitude of enterprises utilizing LINE mini apps. This initiative seeks to empower businesses to transition LINE mini apps into lucrative revenue sources.
Understanding the Context of LINE Mini Apps
LINE mini apps have gained traction among enterprises because they enable the delivery of services tightly woven into users' daily lives. Many companies employ LINE mini apps for customer engagement functions like membership cards and reservation systems. However, generating substantial revenue solely from these apps has proven to be a significant hurdle.
The collaborative spark for this venture arose from LINE's announcement about enabling advertising monetization features within its mini app ecosystem. In response, both fluct and DIGITALIO identified the pressing need to assist businesses in this arena, allowing them to convert their LINE mini apps into potential revenue generators.
