Tourism is a growing business in Thailand, including tourist destinations, accommodation, or services. All mentioned businesses must use a LINE Official Account because it is the primary channel that Thai people use to communicate with each other online. Even if you already have a website or Booking system, what is indispensable is after-sales service or support if customers want to inquire or report problems. LINE OA will help answer this question.

However, it does not mean that this type of business can only be used for chatting. You can run promotions on LINE as well. If you already have a discount given to your customers, you may organize promotions and coupons for customers. Just let customers showing coupons to staff. Customers can redeem coupons immediately.

If you have many branches to manage, it’s not a hassle because LINE Official Account has an Account Group function. So, it would be easy to categorize account groups. When you create an Account Group, the administrator can broadcast once. However, messages can also be sent to the followers of each branch account. The advantage is that each branch can still use separate accounts by handling separate chats.

If you don’t want to have many LINE OA accounts because your business has not many branches or each branch has similar details, you can use the same LINE OA. Besides, when customers chat with you, you can use the “Chat Tag” function depending on the situation and each business’s size.

(For example, a large organization of each province. It is recommended to open 1 separate account per province so that each region can operate more conveniently).


9. Internal Communication

For large organizations with many employees, announcing anything to employees might be difficult. Just sending the email, some people might open it or not. In contrast, using LINE Official Account to broadcast guaranteed that the messages will be sent to all followers. The reason is that LINE is a chat application that people always using. Therefore, the main feature that will help internal communication as well is broadcast. In addition, you can make a Rich Menu for the convenience of people within the organization. You can also put a link in Rich Menu so that employees can easily access the necessary sites such as Leave notice, Request for withdrawal. The employees can also download documents that are frequently used depending on each department’s needs.

Another technique for internal communication LINE OA accounts is that you don’t need to request a verified account (Change from Gray shield to Blue shield). The verified account allows people outside the organization to find your account name even though you don’t know the ID. In this case, we would like to recommend buying only Premium ID and subscribing monthly package.
