Case Study: Swarovski LINE Marketing Strategy

For instance, the premium jewellery brand Swarovski launched its LINE Official Account (OA) in 2020. With LINE Broadcast message function, Swarovski can directly send information about its new collections and special promotions to 100% of its followers.

In addition, LINE OA followers are able to privately message the brand to purchase products, make payments, and arrange for delivery. 

Furthermore, Swarovski grew their LINE OA fan base organically by sharing their OA link in its Facebook posts. With this strategy, Swarovski successfully converted social media engagements into sales even during the pandemic period.

In conclusion, you can successfully capture Thai consumers via LINE Marketing. With its powerful features, you can easily connect with a wide audience and ultimately convert them into your loyal customers.
