This holistic customer experience is guaranteed to leave shoppers feeling satisfied and well cared for. Shopkick has the ability to deliver that same in-store marketing effectiveness in one convenient app, and partner with virtually any CPG brand or retailer. The loyalty program works by offering kicks (reward points) to mobile app users, which can later be redeemed for gift cards to popular retailers like Walmart, Target and Amazon, dining options like Starbucks, and even entertainment options like AMC, iTunes, and Hotels.com. Traditionally, brands have relied on end cap displays, in-aisle discounts, and coupons to capture the attention of shoppers upon their arrival to the store. However, these advertising tactics have become static and are increasingly ignored by customers. Worst of all, these methods force brands to slash prices, chipping away at their market value and profit margins. Shopkick incentivizes shoppers to actively interact with brands by rewarding them for their store visits, for scanning product barcodes in-aisle, browsing digital “lookbooks,” watching informative branded videos, and more. This method of rewarding customers for non-monetized activities successfully leads shoppers down the purchase funnel to a final point of sale, ultimately earning them lucrative bonus kicks.

Leading brands know they can’t expect to be marketplace leaders by using the same marketing strategies year after year. They must continually adapt, using the best available marketing stacks, tools, and resources. Continue reading to see how key CPG players like Claritin, Kraft, Barilla, and Georgia-Pacific partnered with Shopkick to educate, inspire, and boost their in-store marketing effectiveness.
