On the afternoon of September 23, AutoNavi, a subsidiary of Alibaba, announced that from now on, all catering merchants will be exempted from annual registration fees for one year, and will provide merchants with a series of support services such as traffic subsidies, dedicated customer service, and smart cashiers. In the future, AutoNavi will continue to update measures based on the actual needs of catering merchants to support merchants in obtaining more business opportunities.
The person in charge of the growth of AutoNavi Merchant said, "We hope that through continuous actions, we can help catering merchants not only 'reduce their burden' but also 'increase their numbers'; while effectively reducing operating costs, it will also bring about new customer base increases and new digital opportunities."
It is reported that this is another major support measure for catering businesses after AutoNavi launched the "Gaode Street Sweeping List" and "Fireworks Good Store Support Plan" 10 days ago. From now on, catering merchants across the country can quickly settle in by searching for "free entry" on the AutoNavi APP and going to the service page, or by calling the hotline.
On September 10, AutoNavi announced the launch of the "AutoNavi Street Sweeping List" to build a new offline service credit system; it also launched the "Fireworks Good Store Support Plan" to encourage users to shop in stores by issuing more than 1 billion in travel subsidies, transaction subsidies and other measures to users. It hopes to bring 10 million more customers to offline catering and other service industries every day, fully support the offline catering service industry, and promote offline consumption.
It is reported that Amap’s DAU exceeds 170 million, and the number of users of the “Amap Street Sweeping List” exceeded 40 million on the first day it was launched, making it the largest food and lifestyle list in China. In the first week of launch, the traffic of fireworks shops listed on the "Amap Street Sweeping List" increased by 187%.
