Cheers To The Best Birthday Yet
Introduction – Birthday
Many brands ask customers routinely for their personal information including name, address, and birth date. They try to know the customers better by adding previous transactions, engagements, and third-party data.
When it comes to the special day, many brands neglect customers by not celebrating their special day. This begs the question, why should customers give away their birth date if it is not required to buy a product or service?Lev+ indicated that a grocery chain’s email promotion generated upwards of 65% return on investment. That’s a number that brands should not miss out on.

Supermarket Kiosks – Love It or Hate It?
Introduction – Supermarket Kiosks
During the pandemic, many supermarket chains rapidly introduced self-checkout kiosks to replace full-time employees and reduce unnecessary interactions. Brandessence Market Research forecasts that the interactive kiosk market will reach $38.52 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 4.8%.
Opinions vary on how effective these kiosks are. They have been popular with the younger generation or those with fewer items. Others accustomed to a full-service experience did not like the idea of self-checkout and bagging their grocery. Customers with more than ten items are likely to use a service lane as the kiosk space is not big enough.Either way, everyone does not like the complexity to locate prices for some items (such as produce) that do not have a scan code.
