Gamification elevates LINE engagement: Nespresso hits an impressive 97% interaction rate

Nespresso's strategic integration of the BotBonnie marketing kit with LINE's Member Get Member (MGM) features has markedly boosted user acquisition. By launching captivating lottery events during the Lunar New Year celebrations, Nespresso invited users to engage in a fun, festive experience. Participants could 'test their luck' and share the fun with LINE friends for additional chances to win, fostering community spirit. This innovative approach not only achieved a remarkable 97% interaction completion rate in the 2023 Rabbit New Year campaign but also saw a 50% consumption redemption rate for the top prize in the 2024 Dragon New Year scratch-and-win campaign, showcasing the effectiveness of combining traditional festivities with modern marketing techniques.

Tailoring success: Quiz modules drive 75% user completion in themed campaigns 

Nespresso elevates customer engagement with the innovative use of BotBonnie's quiz module in launching the VERTUO series capsule coffee machines. By engaging users with color stylist-inspired themes, participants discover their color style while exploring Nespresso's advanced Centrifusion™ technology—where each capsule's unique barcode ensures perfect brewing. The campaign not only intrigued users with personalized quiz outcomes but also encouraged community participation through additional lucky draw chances for inviting friends. Remarkably achieving a 75% completion rate, this creative approach significantly boosted purchase intent, seamlessly converting online interactions into tangible sales.

Nespresso is elevating the customer experience by leveraging BotBonnie to enhance its LINE community engagement, introducing a user-friendly 'Store Search' function. With the integration of Location-Based Services (LBS), customers can effortlessly locate the ten closest Nespresso stores by simply sharing their location.

Nespresso expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "Our partnership with Appier to leverage the BotBonnie platform marks a significant leap in transforming creative marketing ideas into concrete business results.
