With Harps Rewards, Birdzi arms Harps with a plethora of tools to engage customers, including personalized ad flyers, shoppable recipes and digital coupons.

Birdzi also helped Harps navigate local challenges the grocer was facing. This included utilizing personalized, targeted shoppable flyers and digital coupons in response to local newspapers ceasing the printing of grocery ads. As well, superstores in the area provide a high level of competition that makes a personalized, customer-centric shopping experience a must for a regional brand like Harps.

The data collected via Harps Rewards leads to the customer intelligence necessary to building and sustaining a successful digital program. Harps can enjoy more effective marketing, curated shopper experiences and higher overall ROI. The data also helps power informed decisions in multiple areas of the organization including stealth marketing, merchandising and pricing.
