Retail technology start-up Radius8 announced today that Europe-based SNIPES, who launched its US expansion through an acquisition of KicksUSA in 2019, has deployed the Radius8 Welcomer to create hyper-local experiences on its US mobile website martech news. The Welcomer allows SNIPES to surface location-specific offers, events, messaging, and promotions based on the consumer’s proximity to a SNIPES store to drive store traffic .
The Radius8 Welcomer ease-of-use provides the capabilities for SNIPES to geo-fence specific event venues, concerts, and professional sporting events to deliver custom hyper-local messaging relevant to the event martech.
As SNIPES continues to expand in the US, most recently via an acquisition of Detroit-based Mr. Alan’s, Radius8’s technology is being leveraged to raise brand awareness and drive a targeted experience for customers in the new markets.
“Radius8 allows us to create targeted offers that convert traffic to our e-com platform into foot traffic to our stores, and we’re seeing the results. Customers who convert from http://www.snipesusa.com to one of our physical store locations through Radius8 have an average order value almost twice the norm.” said Jenna Flateman Posner, VP of Digital at SNIPES USA.
“Additionally, we’ve been able to rapidly mobilize targeted e-com experiences and content to support our marketing team. E-com’s reach and precision help us promote marketing events based on where our customers are and what activations are most relevant to them. Ultimately this drives awareness, brand equity, and cross-channel sales.”
