From the layout of first tier cities
Yudhi stated that in the early stage, the company identified the target audience and cities by accurately locating users. The company does not lay out its layout in all cities in Indonesia, but tightly adheres to the first tier cities and major cities in Indonesia for layout.
Yudhi believes that choosing a good city is crucial. Compared to first tier cities, consumers have stronger purchasing power. In addition, the population size and influence of a city are also decisive factors in choosing a city.

After the company initially relied on online exposure, and in subsequent development, resources were allocated to offline physical stores.
Currently, RELX is also legally allowing offline advertising in local cities to match consumers with products in the offline marketing process.
