Met by DailySocial in his office, Founder and CEO of Evoucher Indonesia Danny Baskara revealed several developments, technological innovations, and fundraising plans in 2016. Not too aggressive in launching promotional activities, Evoucher is currently preparing a new breakthrough which is planned to be launched in September.

Currently, Evoucher claims to have experienced a 30% increase in revenue every year. It is estimated that this number will increase in the future.

Strategies launched to compete with competitors

Responding to more and more E-commerce and marketplace which presents a service similar to Evoucher, Danny said that this is not a significant obstacle in terms of concept marketplace and E-commerce which is open platform, different from the concept offered by Evoucher which targets B2B2C businesses (business-to-business-to-consumer).

"At first glance it looks the same as what is offered by marketplace and E-commerce currently with Evoucher, but in backendThere's a pretty big difference," Danny said.

Added by Danny, the main strength of Evoucher is the sales team that takes a direct approach to local business with a wide range of available services. This turned out to be a strategy that was then launched by Evoucher, by strengthening the sales and customer service team.

"We saw merchant and consumers in Indonesia have a habit of being served, different from consumers from abroad, for that we deliberately set up a customer service team that Dedicated for Maintain customer and aftersales customers," Danny said.

This number is still far less than male users. The voucher also recorded voucher Most purchased are Food and Beverage (F&B) services as well voucher in the fun category activity.
