Founded in Japan in 2013, we are a Japanese marketing and market research technology company that helps corporate sponsors unlock value through targeted marketing campaigns while providing our corporate sponsors’ potential customers who participate in our campaigns with extended warranty coverage on durables or certain healthcare benefits sponsored by our corporate sponsors. Warrantee focuses on developing a suite of specialized marketing and market research services and these services are designed to collect and leverage targeted and specialty data of our corporate sponsors’ potential customers to provide proprietary market insights to our corporate sponsors and promote the sales of their products.
At the core of our current business of providing marketing campaign services is our trinity model, which connects three stakeholders: corporate sponsors, campaign participants, whom we also refer to as users, and Warrantee, and is designed to benefit all three stakeholders. This model is exemplified by our sponsored product insurance model used in our durables vertical. Under the sponsored product insurance model, we provide product insurance in the form of a limited extended warranty for appliances to users participating in our marketing campaigns, in exchange for their personal, purchase, or other data needed by our corporate sponsors, which we provide to our corporate sponsors for a sponsorship fee.
Our collected user data enables our corporate sponsors to gain insights on their potential customers’ purchase patterns and to help formulate their marketing strategies. In each campaign, within the covered period, if a participant user’s registered appliance breaks down, the user may elect to use the insurance coverage to pay for repair services or a replacement. Should a participant user make a claim for a replacement, such participant may only use the insurance coverage to subsidize a purchase of our corporate sponsor’s product. In this way our campaigns can potentially increase sales of our sponsors’ products. We use the sponsorship fees to cover our operational costs, including purchasing product insurance from licensed insurers for participant users. We have obtained patents in Japan for the system underlying our sponsored product insurance model, which is for us to serve as an intermediary between sponsors, insurance companies, and users and in such role, providing insurance for the users upon terms agreed by the sponsors.
