The Perth Airport RooLife shopping platform will be launched in November 2019 in time to service the busy travel and tourist period during December and to meet the shopping demands of the growing number of travelers expected on the new flights direct from Shanghai to Perth commencing in January 2020, which leads into the peak Chinese New Year travel period.
Under the agreement, OpenDNA will provide all services to assist Perth Airport to grow sales to Chinese consumers through the RooLife platform, providing its online licensing for China, system hosting, marketing design, translation, sales promotion and management services to support and drive e-Commerce sales to Chinese shoppers.
Perth Airport is the Western Hub to Australia with approximately 14 million passengers travelling through its terminal annually. The Perth Airport RooLife platform will be marketed to and provide a quick and easy way for Chinese shoppers to purchase Australian products directly from Perth Airport using their mobile phones, with payment using WeChat Pay and Alipay whilst in the airport, and during their travels around Australia or from their home in China.
The platform will be launched in late November 2019 with marketing via the Airport’s WIFI environment and placement of the QR Code (below) throughout high-traffic areas and on digital advertising screens. The customer base and associated sales are expected to develop and grow over the next two quarters as customer engagement is optimized following launch.
