Tulus Santoso who also became one of the speakers at the seminar said that PT Ciputra Development Tbk continues to make transformation, innovation, and adjustment of market segmentation.

“Adjustment of market segmentation we do because the character of consumers also change, inevitably, we have to change as well.For example, during 2017 Ciputra Development launched about four new projects In the new project, we make property products with prices below Rp 1 billion because of this price range that is currently the most popular market, “he said.

Infobank Research Bureau also recommends four approaches that can be done by the issuer in order to survive, sustain, and growth. First, companies must share, cooperate or come to terms with technology.

Second, companies should start using analytic data. With this analytic data, the company’s future plans are more clearly the targets to be achieved and its achievement strategy.

Third, the company must focus on customer. Companies must always think what is currently required by the customer, not forcing the customer to understand the products we make.

Fourth, companies must use digital data for communication and branding value. The era of social media (medsos) must be fully utilized for effective and efficient communication networks.
