Customer response is sometimes operated by the CS* team, but if there is no separate team depending on the size of the company, the marketer is also in charge.

In most of these cases, the Fair Trade Commission’s Display Advertising Act is not observed. Of course, it is illegal under the Display Advertising Act.
08 influencer Marketing
influencer Marketing is a marketing using influencer, which is “influential” on each platform, and Google Blogger, Instagram influencer, YouTuber Creator, Today’s House Heavy User, and TikTok Crew are used.

11 Online and offline events
It is an online and offline event that is held in a single way with the aim of attracting consumers’ attention at once. Since a few years ago, events have also been held to connect online and offline contacts, such as “Take a QR code,” “Please certify on Instagram,” and “Please leave a hashtag.” In the U.S., if the local sports team wins, they also held an event to give free food if they leave congratulatory messages for the #hashtag from corporate brands. In general, it can be seen that the more likely the one-off event is to receive the easier the application method or the more prizes there are, the more the effect is amplified. However, volatility is high.
