Co-Founder & CEO Dateio

The marketing based on real transactional data is conquering the international market, especially the American one. Moreover, it is likely for it to replace traditional campaigns made via vouchers and loyalty cards

Both vouchers and loyalty programs represented an important way for retailer to connect the marketing campaign with the consumer, based on his real shopping consumption habits. With Card Linked Offers, this connextion is made instantly via card payment. Retailers can observe in real time how performant is the campaign they are running and  can improve the parameters if it is needed
