Online video is predicted to be the next big thing in online communication tools to promote brands, thanks to the high penetration of budget smartphones and on-the-go lifestyles.

Arpapat Boonrod, managing director of global media research company TNS Thailand, said digital media dominated the lifestyle of Thai people. They spend an average of 4.2 hours a day on online media, far surpassing the 2.6 hours spent on traditional TV screens.

To cope with the rapid change of media consumption in Thailand, collaboration between traditional and new media is the best way for brands to communicate with target customers, she said. Brands should create online videos on a customised basis, adopt a multi-screen tactic and an on-the-go approach to create an effective strategy.

Colourmix parent Veeko International warns of substantial lossColourmix parent and fashion retailer Veeko International has warned shareholders of a “significant increase” in its loss for the half year to September 30.   A year ago, the company finished the half HK$19 million in the red, but chairman Johnny Cheng did not estimate the degree of loss in his profit warning issued yesterday.   He said the loss was due to “decreased sales for both the cosmetics and fashion segments of the group as a result of the increasing tension of the Sino-American trade war and the further depreciation of Renminbi during the period, which resulted in the continued weakness of the retail environment and abatement in consumption sentiments”.  Notably, he did not refer to the social unrest which has adversely affected Hong Kong retailers since early June.    But Cheng did say another factor in the loss was a provision for onerous contracts of underperforming retail stores.  Veeko International will release its interim results before November 30.
