The user sends 100 rubles to a friend using a MasterCard or Maestro plastic card (no commission);
The friend receives these funds on his card of the same payment system. The bonus is that he can choose any of the paid sticker packs for free. Now a friend can send 100 rubles. back, and the second user will also have the opportunity to choose pictures for himself;
Such actions can be performed multiple times without commission. The only limitation is that you need to wait a week to perform a second operation.

If the user has a second VK account, then money can be sent from one page to another.

Step-by-step instruction

The first step is the need to link users’ bank cards to their VKontakte account using the settings. Near the profile icon in the upper right corner of the site, you need to click on the arrow and select “Settings” in the menu that opens. Then go to the “Payments and Transfers” section and link the card. For this action, VK charges a commission of 1 ruble.

This procedure is not necessary - you can simply indicate the card number each time you receive a money transfer.

Next, you should open a dialogue with a friend and select “Money” in the attachment menu in the lower left corner. You need to specify a minimum amount of 100 rubles, then you need to click the “Request money” button. Thus, a request is created requesting a transfer of money from the interlocutor.

But residents of other countries can also receive funds: Belarus, Israel, Italy, Moldova and some others. Checking the possibility of translation is easy.

Today, the option to transfer money in dialogues can only be used in the computer and mobile versions of the social network. For iOS and Android owners, this feature will be introduced later.

Transfers can only be made in Russian rubles. If the card of one of the parties to the transaction is linked to an account in another currency, then rubles will be converted at the rate of the card issuing bank.

The recipient has the right to accept funds within 5 days from the date of sending. If he does not do this or rejects the transfer, the funds will be unblocked on the sender’s card.

The sending party has the right to cancel the transfer until the money is accepted by the recipient.

Stickers from Chester and Jack: the best cases of 2021 from VKontakte for business

The past year has been very busy for VKontakte in terms of interaction with brands. Many large companies have taken advantage of the opportunity to directly contact their audience through the Mini Apps platform. VKontakte presents the brightest campaigns of 2019.

Work as a Delivery Club courier, hang out at a Dirol party or receive a “lemon” from Stoloto - in 2021, brands managed not only to entertain the VKontakte audience with the help of games, tests and stickers, but also to increase sales, collect subscribers and transfer customers from offline to online.

Delivery Club

This year, VKontakte introduced a new format of interactive advertising. It is now possible to place ads with game mechanics directly in the news feed. The function is aimed primarily at smartphone users and is displayed in the application and mobile version of the site.

The food delivery service Delivery Club was one of the first to take advantage of the new opportunity. The company, together with the VKontakte for Business Team, developed a mini-game in which participants acted as a Delivery Club courier. They had to overcome all obstacles and deliver the order on time. For completing the game, players received a bonus: promotional codes for their first order from the Delivery Club chatbot and a set of stickers.

The new advertising format on VKontakte allowed us to receive three times more clicks on the ad than traditional advertising in the news feed. The average duration of contact with the audience was 97 seconds, which is several times longer than that of video advertising.

Cheetos

For their special project on VKontakte, Cheetos even added to the packaging design. A promotional tape with a QR code with the logo of the social network appeared on the pack. By clicking on the link embedded in the code, buyers were taken to the Checkback application. There they could register a receipt from the store and receive collectible Chester stickers.

By the way, one of the interesting new products this year from the VKontakte Team for business is retargeting using QR codes. This option is now available in the advertising account. Create a unique code in the Retargeting section and place it on promotional materials or directly on your product packaging, like Cheetos did. Everyone who scans your QR code will appear in the retargeting database, and you will be able to show ads specifically to this audience.

During the four months of the campaign, VKontakte users registered more than 300 thousand packs of Cheetos, 10 million people downloaded stickers with Chester and shared them on the social network 21 million times!

"Stoloto"

The lottery, as it may seem, is boring entertainment - with this prejudice of the young audience they decided to fight in Stoloto. That is why the company decided to launch a special project “VKontakte”. VK users bought lottery tickets, consulted a smart chat bot and downloaded a set of stickers with the new mascot character “Stolimonov”.

The chatbot informed the participants of the promotion about current lotteries, drawing rules and ticket status. At the first stage, to receive a free sticker pack, you just had to write to the bot.

The second stage was designed for those who want to receive the remaining parts of the sticker pack. To do this, they had to purchase lottery tickets through a chatbot.

At the moment, more than 2 million users have installed the free set of stickers, and more than 40 thousand tickets have been sold through the bot.

Dirol Jack "VKontakte"

You already know Jack, right? The Russian Dirol had a character for the first time this year. Jack invites customers to purchase random-flavored chewing gum and receive guaranteed prizes. Buyers who were lucky enough to buy a new Dirol received a unique promotional code inside the pack. It could be activated on the website or sent to the Dirol VKontakte chatbot.

Among the possible prizes for registering codes was a guaranteed one - a sticker pack with Jack. The collection consisted of several parts. Participants received the first part of the stickers for sending a message to the bot, which told them in poetic form that they could get the rest of the set using codes from packs of Dirol Jack. During the six months of the VKontakte project, customers entered about 1 million Jack codes from packs.

A logical continuation of Jack’s presence on VKontakte was the launch of the next activation of Dirol Party Runner based on VK Mini Apps. Each user can create a unique party - one of its main characters is the familiar Jack. Users receive a new unique sticker pack from Dirol for activating the game, accumulating paticoins in it and downloading receipts with any Dirol chewing gum.

"His Dark Materials" on Wink

The online cinema Wink from Rostelecom this year presented the series His Dark Materials from HBO. According to the plot, all the characters of the new TV show have their own “daemon”. Daemons appear in the form of animals and are inextricably linked with their owners, symbolizing their soul.

Especially for the Russian premiere, the online cinema Wink developed a test based on VK Mini Apps. Anyone could answer five simple questions, after which the application would determine which of the 20 daemons was right for them. The results could be shared in stories and invited friends to take the test there. All users who launched the app were offered a special discount on their Wink subscription.

In just one month, VKontakte visitors used the application more than 500 thousand times and became acquainted with the “His Dark Materials” universe.

Kotex

Kotex has been creating VKontakte for several years now, a full-fledged platform for communicating with the audience. Let us remember that last year the brand launched its own chatbot, through which VKontakte users could receive a unique sticker pack and promotional codes for products.

Now the company has gone further and decided to build a full-fledged ecosystem for communicating with the VKontakte audience. For this purpose, Kotex has developed a branded monthly calendar, and stickers that have already been tested in the previous campaign are used as motivation for its installation.

As a result, the brand was able to create sustainable, repeating contact with the audience through the practical benefits of the application. In addition, the calendar serves as an additional channel for transferring community subscribers to the Kotex chatbot.
