Maria, a frequent coffee drinker, has many options to stop and get coffee on

0:19

her way to work.

0:20

She decides to try Best Run Coffee today.

0:23

They have been promoting a new fall latte.

0:26

She is asked at the register, she is a member of the loyalty program.

0:30

Since Annex Cloud is integrated with the stores POS, the associates simply keys

0:36

in her unique

0:36

identifier to access Maria's profile.

0:40

Since Maria is not yet a member, the associate creates a new profile on the

0:45

spot.

0:46

Maria instantly receives confirmation via text and email, welcoming her to the

0:51

program.

0:52

Right away, Maria is rewarded with 50 points for joining the program.

She will receive another 50 points when she completes her member profile,

1:01

and one point for each dollar spent from here on out.

1:05

With her purchase history in her profile, the next time she visits the store,

1:10

the associate greets her by name and recommends personalized upsells and ways

1:14

for Maria to redeem her points.

A few days later, Maria receives an email invite to download the Best Run

1:22

Coffee mobile app.

Here she can track her rewards and see what it will take to get her to the next

1:28

status tier.

1:29

Annex Cloud manages her profile information in the app experience.

1:33

She sees the same information which she logs in online.

1:37

Since loyalty data helps the marketer trigger individualized promotions and

1:41

experiences like gamification,

1:44

Maria is pushed notified to visit Best Run Coffee more often,

1:48

even choosing Best Run over competitors because of her personalized messaging.

1:53

Best Run Coffee uses the Annex Cloud Survey function to get feedback on their

1:57

next seasonal flavor.

2:00

Maria is rewarded 20 points for her participation.

2:04

Maria has now earned enough points to redeem the free coffee,

2:07

and since her coffee is free, she decides to purchase a branded reusable cup.

2:13

It's a double points event for members only, so she receives two points per

2:17

dollar spent for her coffee cup.

2:19

It's easy to manage events with Annex Cloud campaigns.

2:23

The platform is purpose-built to execute interactive and engaging promotions

2:27

that motivate behaviors beyond the transaction.

2:35

2:44

their local Best Run Coffee to join the program.
