Recommendation Do deeper research on users’ preference in the market LINE want to expand. Cute stickers failed to generate same interest in different countries.
Reopen the door to the world’s largest market - China.LINE has been blocked or censored by the China government.
Develop more functions on LINE.Like banking, e-commerce, taxi service, etcBecome a total service platform provider.
Decrease harassment by advertisement, games and fraudThe harassment prevail on the LINE. Increase the identification checked.
GamesAcquire or work together with popular game apps.
Product placement in TV seriesCreate awareness and buzz.
