Big C kick-started their global digital transformation journey strongly by choosing China as the first destination, and appointed Vpon as the global tourist activation consultant.
- Travel Data Tech in Retail: To precisely target Chinese and international tourists, Vpon developed a travel data dashboard uniquely for Big C.

These valuable insights empower Big C to plan data-driven strategies for tourist activation, identifying highly potential customers through a deep understanding of traveller behaviour, preferences, travel trend and pattern.

- O2O strategies: To drive users from online to physical stores, and from stores to online channels, Vpon and Big C developed seasonal campaigns, personalised ad targeting and community engagement by integrating multi-dimensional data, including Big C’s own mobile and e-commerce data, in-store analysis, customer profile, and traveller insight. The actionable items are further tailored to reach individual audiences’ pre-trip, during-trip and after-trip, ensuring a rich brand presence throughout the whole journey.
