Vancouver, B.C. – November 24, 2020: Better Plant Sciences Inc. (CSE: PLNT) (OTCQB: VEGGF) (FSE: YG3) (“Better Plant”) or (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of a customer rewards program called “Insider Rewards” for its Urban Juve skin care line.
“Insider Rewards will give our customers the opportunity to collect points to earn free products and also provide access to exclusive promotions,” said Gabriel Villablanca, Director of eCommerce for Better Plant. “Our objective is to turn customers into repeat and loyal customers, and ultimate advocates of the brand and our products.”
LoyaltyLion is a loyalty program platform that supports eCommerce growth by unlocking insights that make it possible to amplify marketing efforts while making customers feel valued. LoyaltyLion has a track record of producing higher customer spend and increasing repeat purchase rates.
“Customers who are members are more likely to purchase more items than nonmember customers without an account,” added Villablanca. “So offering a wide range of rewards in exchange for brand engagement, can pay dividends. Brand engagement activities could include signing up for Urban Juve emails, leaving product reviews, and following Urban Juve on social media platforms.”
The loyalty program also offers a mobile-optimized referral tool to help gain new high value customers at a low acquisition cost. The Company plans to offer Insider Rewards across all brands and will leverage the LoyaltyLion platform for the program.
A 2019 KPMG survey reported that 81% of millennial consumers say they spend more with a company when they are a member of a loyalty program, and 78% say they would switch to a company that offered a better program.
