Ancillary revenue makes up a significant amount of revenue for marketplaces globally, directly impacting their bottom line. SOKA not only helps create ancillary revenue but also helps create a more robust marketplace. In LetsTango/Zasttra we’ve found a partner that understands the value of creating a holistic marketplace and we’re very happy to supplement their existing efforts that’ll enable both our companies to grow. With thousands of data touch points, we not only equip platforms and merchants to visualise their inventory capacity, GMV, campaign stats, etc. but also help generate key business insights that allow them to make smarter more informed decisions around their business.”
Expressing his views on the association, Ahmad Naser – GM, Letstango.com – Dubai, UAE said, “C1X is a great platform to leverage native advertisements, we are looking forward a win-win situation for both our sellers and customers. C1X can help Letstango sellers to promote their products in few clicks with a small budget; it can help us to improve the seller engagement & sales on our platform. C1X ad solution can help the Letstango seller to enter the most prominent position in search, category or home page in few clicks.”
“We are looking forward to being able to offer retailers/merchants an alternative method of advertising and selling their products online. Instead of many methods of advertising (price comparison sites, search ads, and display ads), they will have a one stop place to advertise their products and sell while we take care of the digital marketing for the zasttra.com, making selling for online retailers easier and increasing their sales in our growing online store.” Stated Adewale Adejumo – CEO Zasttra.com – South Africa.
He further added “I think C1X has provided a solution to us as an online store, marketplace and an advertising channel. The solution provided by C1X is needed for any marketplace to see growth. I believe that any budget spent wisely on marketing will be recovered through the PPC solution offered by C1X on Zasttra.com. The main benefit is the ability to now compete with price comparison websites in South Africa.”
C1X SOKA, a data-driven digital advertising platform facilitates a friction-free marketplace. It has a solution for any marketplace websites like e-commerce, travel, listings or property sites to have additional source of revenue without actually putting developments effort on a SAAS (Software as a service) based model.
