SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Punchh, the leader in customer loyalty, offers and engagement solutions for physical retailers, today announced its continued growth in the convenience store space through its partnership with five of North America’s top 100 convenience store brands, marking a significant milestone as the company continues to drive success for customers across industries. Punchh is now working with Casey’s, Good2Go, Huck’s, MacEwen, and RaceTrac to deploy substantial industry-specific integrations that meet the needs of 90% of the convenience store market and help boost sales and engagement through customized loyalty solutions.
“Punchh’s capabilities have contributed to Casey’s growing its loyalty membership to over three million in our first year as well as consistent increases in reward redemption,” said Art Sebastian, Casey’s VP of Digital Experience. “Punchh seamlessly integrates with our point of sale, fuel pump system, commerce platform, and messaging hub, allowing us access to critical customer data across all of our in-person and online touchpoints. With this data, we are able to elevate all areas of our business – pizza, grocery and fuel – to deliver a more meaningful experience for our guests across our over 2,200 stores.”
Punchh clients, such as Casey’s and RaceTrac, the fourth and 14th largest convenience store retailers in the U.S. respectively, trust Punchh to power their loyalty platforms and deliver vital consumer behavior insights to help them better identify, understand, and communicate with their customers.
“We believe the customer should always come first, which is why we chose Punchh to help accelerate our digital capabilities and deliver the best customer experience in-store, at the pump, and online,” said Jon Bunch, Huck’s Director of Marketing Business Development. “With our Huck’s Bucks rewards program and branded mobile app, we have seen average loyalty visits increase by over 6% in just six months. Punchh strategically leverages data, allowing us to drive innovation at a competitive rate and deliver a fast and frictionless customer experience across all of our stores.”
“Retailers have a massive opportunity to grow visit frequency and build lifetime customer value as consumers increasingly adopt digital channels to connect with preferred brands. Punchh offers retail businesses of any size a turn-key solution to win customer share in a competitive marketplace,” said Shyam Rao, Co-Founder and CEO at Punchh. “As a leading loyalty platform for America’s most recognized brands, our solutions have proven a high ROI time and time again.
