Valutec Gift & Loyalty Platform Goes Social With SNAP
SNAP Integration Allows Valutec Customers to Reward In Store and Online Loyalty
Recently Valutec Card Solutions, a leading provider of turnkey gift and loyalty card services, and SNAP (Social Network Appreciation Platform), the first web-based platform to link traditional loyalty programs to social networks, announced that Valutec customers have immediate access to seamlessly "turn on" SNAP functionality (with their existing loyalty program), enabling loyalty programs to become social. The SNAP platform allows Valutec customers to expand upon their current in-store loyalty programs by rewarding customers for automated online mentions and check-ins on sites like Facebook, Twitter and foursquare.
"Our customers are always looking for creative ways to expand upon their loyalty programs,"" commented Dan Brames, General Manager at Valutec. "At Valutec, we continue to work with innovators like SNAP that bring exciting new functionalities to our loyalty programs. Using SNAP, our clients can now promote their businesses on their customers' social networks. In-store loyalty programs are linked to today's hottest social networks, rewarding customers for digital endorsements."
"We are thrilled that Valutec is bringing social networking to its customer base via SNAP," stated David Gosman, Chief Executive Officer of SNAP. "Customers are already talking about brands online; the new integration enables businesses to automate the endorsements and thank their customers with extra points. In addition to the digital word of mouth, retailers have access to other SNAP functions including comprehensive reporting and badge and leaderboard features that help businesses further engage with customers. With the integration, Vautec customers can flip the switch, and be up and running in no time."
