Save Mart offers digital rebates for alcohol
The Save Mart Companies is launching an alcohol cashback program.
The California-based grocer, which operates approximately 200 stores under the banners of Save Mart, Lucky, and FoodMaxx in California and Western Nevada, is partnering with retail technology company Swiftly to offer customers access to alcoholic purchase rebates within hours via PayPal or Venmo.
Swiftly's platform enables advertisers to present brand-funded alcohol offers to SaveMart shoppers. Measurement and reporting systems provide advertisers insights in areas such as category share, basket analysis, and buyer behavior.
Save Mart is the pilot partner for Swiftly's alcohol cashback program, offering it on the mobile apps for all three banners. Customers can peruse available alcohol rebates, activate them digitally before purchase, and provide their loyalty ID at the point of sale. Shoppers can then cash out their savings in a matter of hours via PayPal or Venmo.
Save Mart also recently partnered with Swiftly to roll out new, fully integrated Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx websites. The sites include tools to provide advertisers and brands with an enhanced ability to effectively target more Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx customers. This agreement builds upon an existing Save Mart and Swiftly collaboration.
"In the continually evolving retail technology landscape, Swiftly remains dedicated to delivering a truly integrated omnichannel shopping experience," shared Sean Turner, co-founder and CTO of Swiftly. "Our alcohol cashback program is transforming how consumers save on alcohol purchases, while equipping our partners to elevate brand awareness, stimulate revenue growth, and assert category dominance."
"Swiftly's alcohol cashback program unlocks a significant opportunity for TSMC shoppers to save even more while enabling our stores and alcohol brand partners to excel and profit within the complex and highly regulated adult beverage industry," said Tamara Pattison, senior VP and chief digital officer at The Save Mart Companies. "Swiftly not only provides a comprehensive solution for managing alcohol rebates, but also delivers customers with the seamless experience and accelerated digital payout options they desire, all through the convenience of the same mobile app they use to save in-store with digital coupons, cash back rewards and weekly specials."
