In our recent conversation with Chibuike Goodnews for
Website Planet, we delved into the inspiration behind the creation of Dochase, a groundbreaking platform designed to bridge the gap between businesses and their target customers.
Goodnews highlighted the challenges faced by middle-sized businesses, which often struggle to connect their outstanding value propositions with the right audience. Dochase was conceived to solve this problem by offering a platform-agnostic approach, enabling businesses to reach potential customers across various internet spaces.
This innovative solution not only enhances customer engagement but also drives significant growth for businesses by ensuring their products and services are seen by those who need them most.
What inspired the creation of Dochase?
Dochase was created when we realized that many businesses needed to reach customers but faced a significant gap between the customers they wanted and the services and products they offered. This issue was particularly pronounced for middle-sized businesses that had developed fantastic value propositions but struggled to connect with their target customers.
Dochase was built to bridge this gap, bringing businesses to their customers on the Internet. Many businesses believe that once they build their service, customers will come to them. However, it doesn’t work that way. In reality, businesses must not only develop their products but also take the initiative to connect these products with their customers.
Sometimes, customers aren’t even aware that they need a particular service until it is brought to their attention. Therefore, identifying and reaching out to potential customers is crucial. Dochase was inspired by the need to create these linkages, helping businesses reach, sell, and grow by connecting with their target customers online.
Can you explain the core features that make Dochase unique in the advertising industry?
Yes, the advertising industry is quite large and competitive, with many players. It’s essential to highlight the features that set Dochase apart from other advertising companies. One key differentiator is our ability to identify target customers for each product. We have a very wide reach because we connect with more platforms, making us platform-agnostic. Unlike some companies that limit their advertising to specific applications, we aim to connect with users wherever they are on the Internet, on mobile phones, and within applications.
Dochase can reach virtually anyone in the world, which is a core feature for us. For example, if you advertise on LinkedIn, you’ll only reach LinkedIn users, primarily professionals. Advertising on Google means reaching users of Google properties. However, with Dochase, you can advertise to professionals on LinkedIn, social media users on platforms like Meta, and users on Google—all from one place. This one-stop-shop capability to reach any type of customer is unique to us.
Another distinguishing feature is our ability to break down this broad reach into targeted audiences. You can target people across different platforms, whether on websites, mobile applications, social media, or LinkedIn. This cross-platform reach combined with precise targeting makes Dochase stand out in the advertising industry.
How does Dochase ensure effective and targeted ad campaigns for its clients?
Our targeting strategy at Dochase relies on several key elements. Firstly, we utilize device IDs and cookies. Despite announcements about phasing out cookies by Google, they remain in use and we leverage them to target users based on browsing history and device information. Additionally, we employ unified IDs, where users consent to see ads in exchange for digital services. This allows us to gather publicly available data and ensure non-intrusive targeting.
We use this information to target specific demographics such as age groups and locations. For instance, we can target users based on their recent travel history or purchase intent, identifying those actively searching for products to buy. This predictive capability ensures that our ads reach users who are likely to engage, maximizing the value for advertisers.
Ultimately, our goal is to ensure that every advertisement we deliver reaches the right audience effectively, without wasting the advertiser’s investment. Our comprehensive approach to targeting combines privacy-respecting methods with predictive analytics to optimize ad campaign outcomes.
What types of businesses benefit the most from using Dochase’s services?
Dochase’s services cater to businesses of all sizes, each benefiting uniquely from our offerings. Let’s break it down:
Small Businesses:
Small businesses benefit from Dochase by focusing on direct customer engagement within their locality or among their existing contacts. These businesses typically operate with smaller budgets, so our platform enables them to deploy targeted messaging campaigns such as SMS and email marketing. This approach helps them build and segment their audience effectively, driving engagement and sales without the need for large-scale advertising investments.
Middle Businesses:
Middle-sized businesses prioritize performance advertising—they want measurable results like user acquisitions and sales conversions. Dochase supports these goals by delivering targeted campaigns that optimize every advertising dollar spent. We ensure that our efforts directly contribute to achieving their specific business objectives, whether it’s app installs, transactions, or lead generation. Our ability to track and analyze these activities allows us to refine strategies continually, ensuring middle businesses meet their performance targets efficiently.
Large Businesses:
For larger enterprises with structured marketing plans and broader branding goals, Dochase offers comprehensive solutions. We leverage our wide-reaching capabilities, rich media options, and advanced services to enhance brand visibility and customer engagement. Whether it’s launching new products, promoting discounts, or influencing purchasing decisions, Dochase helps these businesses maintain a strong presence in the minds of their customers. By crafting engaging digital experiences that resonate with target audiences, we support large businesses in achieving sustained market leadership and customer loyalty.
In essence, Dochase tailors its services to meet the specific needs and goals of businesses across all scales, from enhancing local engagement for small businesses to driving measurable outcomes for middle businesses and supporting expansive branding initiatives for large enterprises. Our commitment lies in maximizing ROI and delivering impactful results that align with each client’s strategic objectives.
Can you share a success story from a client who used Dochase for their advertising needs?
Certainly! One of our notable success stories involves a phone OEM, one of the largest market leaders in mobile phones across Africa. Initially perceived as a lower-tier brand compared to giants like Samsung, Nokia, and iPhone, they used Dochase’s advertising services to transform their market position.
Through targeted campaigns, we emphasized crucial factors like battery life, phone speed, and camera quality—key considerations for consumers when buying phones. By strategically highlighting these features, we successfully influenced purchase intent among users. This strategic approach propelled our client from being a niche player to becoming the #3 mobile phone brand in Nigeria and many other African countries.
This transformation underscores Dochase’s role in reshaping brand perception and driving substantial market growth. While this phone OEM stands out as a prominent example, we have numerous success stories across sectors such as fintech, crypto, and online betting. Each success story validates Dochase’s capability to deliver impactful advertising solutions that drive tangible business outcomes for our clients.
What future trends or developments do you see as most important for digital advertising?
The future of digital advertising is already unfolding, driven by advancements in AI and programmatic technology. AI has already become a critical component in advertising, and its role will only expand further. Currently, AI is enhancing programmatic advertising by optimizing campaigns and predicting outcomes from the planning stages.
In the coming years, AI will deepen its integration into advertising processes, particularly in predictive analytics. It will forecast the costs associated with acquiring users, predict campaign outcomes, and optimize placements across various channels and platforms. This predictive capability will be fueled by vast amounts of data analysis, enabling advertisers to precisely target their audiences and optimize ad spend efficiently.
Another significant trend will be AI’s role in content creation. AI algorithms will personalize and adapt advertising creatives to fit different screen resolutions, environments, and audience demographics. For example, a single campaign for a product like a school bag could generate tailored creatives for audiences in different regions—each reflecting local preferences and cultural nuances.
Moreover, AI-driven campaign deployment will ensure efficiency and minimize wastage in digital advertising budgets. By targeting audiences more accurately and avoiding irrelevant impressions, AI will help businesses maximize their ROI and optimize their advertising investments.
Looking ahead, we anticipate a convergence of advertising ecosystems. Currently, fragmented platforms like Google, Meta, and others will likely unify under AI-powered systems, streamlining decision-making processes and enhancing campaign effectiveness across diverse digital landscapes.
In summary, the future of digital advertising is intricately tied to AI advancements, which will revolutionize targeting, content creation, campaign management, and overall efficiency. Embracing these technological shifts will be pivotal for businesses aiming to stay competitive in the evolving digital marketplace.
