  • LINE Official Accounts’ for Businesses Enterprises
    18 June 2012 For Media Attention NHN Japan Corporation Introduction of ‘LINE Official Accounts’ for Businesses Enterprises LINE – The Free Calling and Messaging App NHN Japan Corporation announces the introduction of ‘LINE Official Accounts’ aimed for business enterprises, for its free calling and free messaging app ‘LINE’ (http://line.naver.jp/). ‘LINE Official Account’ is a feature which allows businesses to send messages directly to LINE users who have added their account as a ‘friend’. Up until now, NHN Japan has introduced Official Accounts featuring famous Japanese celebrities including that of Becky, and GACKT etc. as well as automatically-programmed BOT accounts that provide useful information and translation services. On this occasion, NHN Japan stated that they were very excited to announce the introduction of ‘LINE Official Accounts’ for business enterprises. So far, businesses participating include Coca-Cola (Japan) Company Ltd., Lawson, Inc., ZENSHO Holdings Co., Ltd., and Nippon Television Network Corporation. By adding these accounts as friends, LINE users are able to receive information on special promotions, coupons, as well as the latest updates on TV programs. These Official Accounts enable business enterprises to reach LINE’s 40 million users around the world wherever they are. As a smartphone is always connected and on the users person, businesses now have a chance of directly reaching their customers in real-time. This contrasts with other services such as Twitter and Facebook where users mainly follow timelines for sent information. Instead, this new service from LINE alerts the users instantly through push notifications, meaning that businesses can expect a high number of users viewing their messages.
