WASHINGTON, DC–(Marketwired – July 7, 2016) – Snipp Interactive Inc. (“Snipp”) (OTCQX:SNIPF)(TSX VENTURE:SPN), an international provider of marketing promotions, rebates and loyalty solutions listed on the OTCQX and the TSX Venture Exchange, is pleased to announce that it has launched a pilot loyalty program for one brand in the portfolio of one of the largest alcohol beverage companies in the world, utilizing the SnippCheck and SnippLoyalty platforms. The company, which operates globally, is one of the largest breweries in the world and also produces a wide selection of distilled beverages, energy drinks, and non-alcoholic malt beverages.
“This program is an example of the improved capability of the integrated SnippCheck and SnippLoyalty platforms. In the past few months, Snipp has signed several integrated loyalty and receipt processing partnerships with companies spanning multiple markets and industries, a reflection of our strength and growth in the category. Our clients are very pleased with the level of customer engagement and data collection we provide, and we expect these integrated programs to continue to drive sales and generate growth,” said David Hargreaves, Chief Client Officer at Snipp.
The pilot program will run from July until September 2016 in select states in the US before being rolled out nationally. Consumers who make a qualifying brand purchase can snap and submit a picture of their receipt on a branded site. Once the consumer is age and state gated and the receipt is validated on the ShippCheck platform, they receive points that can be redeemed to win prizes such as branded merchandise. Consumers can also accrue points by interacting with the brand on social media platforms. This campaign is being promoted across various media outlets, including radio, video, web and social media.
