Help MTOs deliver offers to clients efficiently
About
Applicant name: RemitRadar Limited
Innovation Name: RemitRadar Marketing Service
Innovation Type: Service
Website: https://remitradar.com/
Mission: Help MTOs deliver offers to clients efficiently
Innovation Description: RemitRadar delivers marketing messages to remittance customers through Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, ads on our own website and partner websites equipped with our widgets, and through other channels. This can be done in a more targeted way and at a cheaper cost than alternative methods because we own the data of millions of remittance customers who have previously used our comparison website.
Other unique features of our marketing service include:
– Retention of customers who are about to leave without transaction through an “auction” of special offers (a special offer can be delivered to customers selected by certain criteria if the standard offer was not good enough for this customer)
– Monitoring of competitors’ offers
– Customer experience surveys
– Loyalty programs management
– Increasing the customer’s LTV through participation in our marketplace of digital products
We put this service together on the basis of several years of experience in providing free and unbiased comparison service to remittance customers.
Innovation Inspiration: As margins shrink, marketing and promotion must become more efficient. We offer an efficient targeted customer acquisition service to MTOs and other companies that offer goods or services to migrant workers, e.g. insurance, mobile phone top-up, discounted travel, job search, cross-border payment solutions, etc. We launched it after accumulating enough data on remittance customers who have used our comparison services. The advantages are: lower Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC); faster and more efficient promotion; no more need to bid for the most popular keywords (therefore simpler and more transparent budgeting of advertising campaigns); integration between the marketing/promotion campaigns and customer development because we can monitor the customer behaviour on our comparison website; auctions where the MTO can make a special offer to a client who is about to leave without transaction.
Who benefits from the innovation most? The MTOs as well as other companies that offer various products or services to migrant workers will benefit from our services. Having cost-effective digital marketing channels is an advantage in highly competitive remittance market.
The remitters and senders will also benefit by having the best offers delivered to them. At the same time, they will be able to compare these offers with the terms and conditions of other service providers on our comparison website
Our audience consists of millions of users of RemitRadar.com. Our partners are all the MTOs as well as other companies that offer various products or services to migrant workers. Websites used by migrant workers can also be our partners when they host our widgets or scripts allowing us to boost traffic on priority corridors and with priority target groups.
The service is global and does not prioritize any region in particular.
What are you most proud of about your innovation? This innovation builds on the foundation of 5 years of data aggregation from 361 money transfer operators in over 100 countries and a data base of 12 mln users of our remittance comparison service.
This service is free to remittance users, therefore the main challenge has been (and continues to be) related to funding. Monetization cannot start before the technology, the client base and the partner relationships are in place, and this takes time and capital.
We are proud to have been given the attention of UN agencies as a socially important service.
We are different because we use advanced tools: API to connect with MTOs, AI to drive our chatbot integrated in social media (Skype, Facebook), proprietary algorithms that brought us impressive organic traffic (we have never paid for traffic). Our ecosystem approach is also different as our value proposition is aimed simultaneously at the remittance users, MTOs and a range of other companies that offer various products or services to migrant workers.
