After joining iheartjane.com’s marketplace, a dispensary’s customers are provided with a shopping experience that allows them to search more quickly and efficiently for the products they want, while also discovering new products. For the dispensary, this patented software translates into increased cart sizes, increased customer shopping frequency and an overall improvement in customer service and staff efficiency. Dispensaries also receive access to data on customer behavior, which can be translated into a targeted loyalty marketing campaign utilizing springbig’s self-serve marketing communication tools. This results in an average of a 25% sales lift per campaign and a 10x increase in conversion rates, according to the release.
“Integrating with an e-commerce platform is the next phase of our expansion as a leading provider of loyalty marketing and communications technologies,” commented Jeffrey Harris, founder and CEO of springbig, in the release. “We are delighted to be partnering with iheartjane.com to provide our tools to their hundreds of dispensary partners.
