CouponBirds Data Reveals User Behavior Change During Epidemic

BEIJING, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The speed and range of epidemic spreading strongly influence user behavior. CouponBirds latest data analysis shows that online users’ behavior has changed a lot in the past few months as COVID-19 became a pandemic, including devices, purchasing power, and country distribution.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, daily internet usage time increases, and outdoor activities drop a lot. Mobile devices are more dominating when people spend more time at home. CouponBirds May 2020 data shows that mobile device coverage increased to 62.79% from 53.38%.


As to consumers’ performance during the outbreak, it can be seen that the purchasing power and transaction volume show different trends when it comes to different kinds of products. CouponBirds data analysis team noticed that the demand for games, bicycles, and online education had been particularly increased. As stay-at-home time becomes longer and the shipping services are restricted during the epidemic, people are more likely to shell out money for easy entertainment like board games, puzzles, and video games. Furthermore, people tend to snap up new bicycles or dust off decades-old bikes to stay fit, keep their sanity, or have a safe alternative to public transportation. The third thriving business is online learning resources, which is a great choice for people who are studying, teaching, or working remotely in this uncertain environment.

CouponBirds data also shows the percentage of users by country was different during the epidemic. Users from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia increased by 15.07%, 14.02%, 27.49%, and 16.91% respectively.


The pandemic has big impacts on both customers and merchants. It is even harder to make the transaction happen when people’s income is shrinking. CouponBirds invests a lot to discover as many valid coupons as possible, which is the best way to help customers save and at the same time help merchants sell their products.

Like some charities are helping feed families during the coronavirus outbreak, CouponBirds is doing what we can to give back to the community. "CouponBirds Seedling Project was born during the outbreaks to help people in another way, and it is a great fundraising platform for non-profit organizations", said Sherry Zhao, marketing director of CouponBirds, "We are working hard to make CouponBirds one of the best communities to help more people".

Hyundai Card introduces 5 trends shaping the way Koreans consume digital content

SEOUL, South Korea, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ranging from K-pop sensation BTS and Oscar-winning "Parasite", Korean pop culture appears to be having its moment. Combined with ultrafast internet and 5G-powered smartphones, the growing popularity of Korean movie and music has led to an expansion in the country’s digital content consumption.

Korea’s major credit card company Hyundai Card has introduced 5 key trends shaping Koreans’ spending habits on digital content. The result is based on the company’s 2017-2019 analysis of its consumer transaction data at 10 digital subscription service providers such as Netflix and YouTube Premium.

The three-year analysis was a part of the efforts to better understand Korean digital content subscribers by Hyundai Card, which has been leading the country’s credit card trends with products tailored to customers’ lifestyle and extensive digital transformation initiatives. It has developed an artificial intelligence-based chatbot, adopted blockchain for its system and built an advanced algorithm to offer more personalized  customer services and benefits.

Infographic by Hyundai Card - Hyundai Capital Newsroom
Infographic by Hyundai Card – Hyundai Capital Newsroom

1. Korea’s digital content market grows much faster than global trends 

According to Hyundai Card’s analysis, its consumers spent some $30.83 million on music, video and e-book subscription services in 2019. It was about 2.6 times more than what was spent in 2017. The number of transactions has tripled over the same period from 2.36 million to 7.11 million.

While Korea is not the only country to witness the expansion of the digital content market, its growth pace has been much faster than global trends. According to Statista, digital content market (excluding games) edged up 1.13 times from $65.46 billion to $73.99 billion between 2017 and 2019, relatively slower than in Korea.

2. Video streaming services prompt explosive consumption in digital content

Among digital content subscription services, video streaming displayed the steepest growth in content consumption. Payments on video streaming services skyrocketed nine times from $2.05 million in 2017 to $17.92 million in 2019, while spending on music steaming services increased merely 1.3 times between 2017 and 2019.

The explosive growth of video streaming consumption was reflected in the transaction amount. Among the five most paid-for services in 2017, three were home-grown music streaming services such as Melon, Genie Music and Bugs Music. But in 2019, Netflix and local video streaming services like Wavve and TVING took up three spots.

3. No more piracy: Koreans more willing to pay for digital content than ever before

Psychological barriers had been high in Korea for consumption of paid content. People were mostly reluctant to pay for video-on-demand services and were used to downloading pirated films over the internet. Consuming paid digital content was deemed to belong only to tech-savvy young generation.

But this perception has changed. According to Hyundai Card’s joint survey with research agency OPENSURVEY, 92.7 percent of the respondents said they have a positive view about spending money on digital content. Of those surveyed, 37.4 percent said their perception has shifted from negative to positive.

4. In a rapidly aging society, the Korean elderly emerge as key consumer group

As Korea becomes a more aged society, the elderly have also increased their spending on digital content. Spending on digital content by those in their 50s and those aged 60 or more tripled from $1.2 million in 2017 to $3.5 million won in 2019, while spending by those in their 20s saw a two-fold increase between 2017 and 2019.

Noteworthy is the fact that people in their 60s were the most active users of e-book subscriptions. They spent 21 times more on e-books in 2019 than in 2017. Fifty-somethings spent 10 times more on video services over the same period.

5. Credit cards for streaming subscription gain popularity among Koreans

With digital entertainment options becoming more diversified, Korea has seen a series of credit cards targeting digital content subscribers. Hyundai Card also rolled out a new credit card "DIGITAL LOVER," offering an approximately $8 discount monthly from expenditure on digital streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube Premium.

"Against the backdrop of recent surge in digital content subscriptions propelled by the popularity of video streaming services," said a Hyundai Card spokesperson. "We took into account changes in consumer spending trend and life style when designing the card, not conventional elements such as their occupation or income. That led to upbeat response from customers."

REDUIT: Radical Innovation in a User Friendly Format

At REDUIT, the Swiss beauty tech company, innovation spans both technology and consumer-oriented design

NEUCHATEL, Switzerland, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Intuitive and simple product design is center-stage for the Swiss beauty tech innovator REDUIT.  The company has gone to great lengths to make sure that new technology is also delivered in a way that makes sense to consumers.  From aesthetics to ergonomics, each aspect of REDUIT’s Hairpods™ range has been challenged until the best possible solution emerged, resulting in a product that is  truly "made to a human measure".

REDUIT Color Protect Hairpods™ - a simple way to protect hair from pollution, saltwater and UV radiation
REDUIT Color Protect Hairpods™ – a simple way to protect hair from pollution, saltwater and UV radiation

REDUITs new Hairpods™ cover a variety of leave-on haircare and hair styling products, each contained in different pods. The product is applied with the aid of the REDUIT One applicator, a device designed to boost the performance of the active ingredients.

The system is radically different when compared with traditional products. The formulations in the Hairpods™ themselves, developed from the ground up for each application, are each matched via a unique electronic signature to generate small magnetized mist particles.  Every single element of the beauty product had to be reinvented for REDUIT to reach a new paradigm of performance.

Never before has a new beauty routine been so easy: insert the Hairpod™ of your choice into the REDUIT One device.  Activate it, and apply the gentle mist for 15 seconds* to your hair to create a microscopically fine film, and you are ready to go.  It is as simple as that!

The sleek REDUIT One applicator is universal and operates with any of the Hairpods™: from styling products, such as the Precision Conditioner and the Volume Mist, to haircare treatments, including the Vapored Strength and (as of tomorrow, June 6th) also the Color Protect Hairpods™.

Each of the Hairpods™ is very compact, only 5 ml in size, but allows for 20 uses* which is equivalent to 100-200 ml of traditional products.  At a mere 12 grams of packaging, and recyclable through our Return & Refurbish program, the Hairpods™ lead the way as the benchmark for environmentally-friendly haircare products globally. 

None of the packaging is wasted: consumers can send in their empty Hairpods™ to the nearest REDUIT location, and they will be rewarded with free product coupons on subsequent purchases – and a healthier planet for us all. That’s the REDUIT way.

This is only the beginning: REDUIT will continue to launch a new product every Friday throughout the summer.  Register at www.reduit.com, to be the first to learn about the upcoming innovations from REDUIT on a weekly basis!

*depending on hair length and type

About REDUIT:

In French ‘REDUIT’ means ‘reduced’. We reduce packaging. Amplify results. Reduce time. Amplify efficacy. Reduce steps. Amplify beauty.

REDUIT was created with one vision: to revolutionize the everyday beauty routine.  We started in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with the dream of creating truly superior beauty products. From performance to sustainability and user-friendliness, we design products that truly elevate the everyday.

Set on raising the bar for professional and at-home beauty solutions that deliver on one simple promise: enhancing the results and experience while reducing the unnecessary.

JinkoSolar Receives Favorable Final Determination of Non-Infringement in U.S. ITC Patent Investigation Brought by Hanwha Q CELLS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC") issued a favorable final determination concluding JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe a patent asserted by Hanwha Q CELLS.

In March 2019, Hanwha initiated ITC Investigation No. 337-TA-1151 against JinkoSolar, LONGi Solar, and REC Group, asserting that the companies infringe U.S. Patent No. 9,893,215.

On June 3, 2020, the Commission issued its final determination in JinkoSolar’s favor, affirming the Administrative Law Judge’s initial determination in April, which was based on analysis of detailed, expert testimony, that JinkoSolar’s products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent.

"We welcome this final decision from the ITC, confirming what we have known all along: our products do not infringe Hanwha’s patent," said Kangping Chen, CEO of JinkoSolar. "From the start, we have believed that the case brought by Hanwha was legally and technically meritless and a transparent attempt to disrupt innovation and slow our momentum. The ALJ’s decision confirms that Hanwha should never have brought this case in the first place. JinkoSolar is a true innovator, and this outcome validates our technology. Our top priority is to provide our customers around the world with the industry-leading, sustainable, high-quality, high-performance solar modules they have come to expect from us."

"This year’s recipients reflect the creativity of companies that pushed the boundaries of what’s possible and move our industry toward new breakthroughs. Tanvas stood out for its versatile surface haptic technology which has many practical applications across a broad range of markets. We are proud to shine a spotlight on the best of the best in display technology."

Seven winners – Apple, Audi AG, BOE Technology, Corning, Samsung Display, Tanvas and Toray Industries – were chosen by a distinguished panel of experts who evaluated the nominees based on degree of technical innovation and commercial significance, as well as potential for positive social impact. Tanvas – the smallest and only privately held company on the list – debuted the latest in multi-touch haptic technology. TanvasTouch surface haptics are programmable textures and tactile effects that can be felt with the swipe of a finger across a physically smooth touch-enabled surface.

"The unique solid-state construction of TanvasTouch combines multi-touch and haptics in a single controller. Together, the sensor and actuator surface provide very low latency response and make it easy to integrate as a display component," said Phill LoPresti, CEO of Tanvas. "This multimodal technology can combine with vibration-based haptics in automotive displays and surfaces as well as tablets, trackpads and any commercial display.

With so many innovations in display technology, we are thrilled to see TanvasTouch acknowledged among a list of prestigious companies we regard so highly."

The SID category Display Components of the Year recognizes novel components that have significantly enhanced the performance of a display.

Earlier this year at CES 2020, Tanvas debuted its TanvasTouch Desktop Development Kit as well as a 15" automotive demonstration in collaboration with Innolux. The company also launched its first commercial product in collaboration with Mimo Monitors – a 10.1" display for digital signage and conference rooms.

ReneSola Power and Nautilus Solar Energy Announce the Sale of a 10.4 MW Minnesota Community Solar Portfolio

— Represents Fourth Acquisition Between Two Companies

STAMFORD, Conn., June 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In a joint statement today, ReneSola Ltd (NYSE: SOL) ("ReneSola Power"), a leading fully-integrated solar project developer, and Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC ("Nautilus"), a leading national solar project acquisition, development and asset management company, announced Nautilus’s acquisition of a 10.4 MW community solar portfolio developed by ReneSola Power in Minnesota.

Like previous acquisitions, including the 21MW purchase in 2019 and the two-13.3 MW acquisitions announced in 2017 and 2018, this portfolio also qualified under Xcel Energy’s community solar program in Minnesota. The portfolio is comprised of eight single axis tracker solar installations, each commonly referred to as a solar garden. The projects are located in counties across the southern half of Minnesota, and are designed to produce enough energy to power over 1,450 homes. The portfolio is expected to come online by the fourth quarter of 2020.

Nautilus will be responsible for the project management, long-term asset and subscriber management and maintenance services for this portfolio. In addition to having developed the projects, ReneSola Power will be responsible for securing the subscribers. The energy generated by the projects will directly benefit qualified commercial and residential off-takers situated within Xcel Energy’s service territory by providing energy cost savings while also advancing Minnesota’s 10 percent solar energy goal by 2030.

"We are excited to be working with the Nautilus team. This transaction once again demonstrates the project development expertise of our team in Minneapolis," said John Ewen, CEO of ReneSola Power North America. "Despite ongoing macro uncertainties, both Nautilus and ReneSola teams successfully completed the transaction. Community solar remains an attractive market for us in the U.S., and we look forward to collaborating with Nautilus on other solar opportunities in the near future," commented Yumin Liu, Chief Executive Officer of ReneSola Power.

"With this acquisition, we are able to significantly expand our subscriber presence in the Minnesota community solar marketplace to service smaller commercial and even residential customers," said Jim Rice, Co-CEO of Nautilus Solar. "This successful transaction, being the fourth deal consummated with the ReneSola team over the last 3 years, further exemplifies Nautilus’s long-term commitment to working closely with our development partners," added Jeffrey Cheng, President of Nautilus Solar.

Secured Signing, one the world’s most trusted digital signature providers, today launched live Video Signing. This gives companies the power to sign legally binding documents on a video call.

Mike Eyal, the Managing Director of Secured Signing, said data showed companies were shifting more of their work online due to COVID-19. This shift has been driven by many countries updating their electronic signatures acts to allow documents to be signed and witnessed over video calls.     

"What we are now seeing is that COVID-19 is changing everything about how most businesses operate. There is a sharp rise in remote work, and companies are no longer able to meet in person to witness and sign contracts. With Secured Signing Video Signing, the entire signing process takes place on a live video call."

Digital signatures provide built-in proof of the signer’s identity and intent. Live Video Signing comes with even stronger identity verification features, making it difficult to dispute contracts. This protection, known as non-repudiation, means the identities & intent of everyone signing the document are confirmed and recorded. So, no one can later deny signing the document.

Secured Signing’s Video Signing also delivers a better customer experience with the signing meetings on the all-in-one platform able to be setup in seconds allowing more time to go through details of the contract and clearly explain them. The whole process is easy, fast, and safe, added Eyal.

"You’ll now be able to sign documents using video signing, from any device, anywhere in the world. So, for example, now notaries or lawyers or financial advisors can start a video conference with the document they need signed and walk the signee through the document in a live, recorded video with the final signature added at the end of the conference call."

Eyal said the goal was to provide simple, secure signing in one easy-to-use tool.

"Our customers won’t need any additional video conference software. The signed document has an access link to video session recording that is password protected and can be viewed after signing meeting has ended".

"COVID-19 has disrupted our lives. It’s not business as usual right now. Organizations are responding in their own way, and there’s a lot of doubt and uncertainty. One thing is certain is that we have to adapt, and technology makes that process a lot easier. We hope our video signing feature will give businesses the tools they need to finalize documents safely online," said Eyal.
