Dialogue marketing

Media with enormous impact:
The PAYBACK points overview and the PAYBACK coupon mail

  • Effective communication with immense reach
  • 70 million point overviews per year
  • 1.5 billion coupon e-mails (newsletters) per year
  • Combination of program information, ads,
    inserts and personalized coupons

The PAYBACK points overview

One important PAYBACK medium that has been tried and tested for many years is the PAYBACK points overview. Millions of active members receive this "points account statement" by post at regular intervals - up to 70 million are sent by post each year, with 15 million personalized versions per points overview.

The opening rate alone shows how relevant PAYBACK mail is for consumers: up to 90 percent of customers open the mailing, keep it, and the majority file it away like a bank statement.

 

Individual forms of advertising, precise and measurable

The points overview can be used as a carrier for additional individualized forms of advertising, such as coupons, advertising space or inserts. It allows a precise evaluation: How many customers have used which offer in which period? Exactly what response rate was achieved at what cost? Incidentally, it is not uncommon for 60% of customers to respond to attractive offers that are relevant to them.

The PAYBACK coupon mail (newsletter)

The PAYBACK coupon mail is the electronic counterpart to the PAYBACK points overview. Every week, around 7-10 million active members are informed about their points balance and receive target group-specific eCoupons and partner offers. In addition to exciting monthly campaigns, customers are also notified of exclusive online shopping and reward highlights.

With more than 1.5 billion newsletters sent out each year, PAYBACK regularly reaches its customers with relevant offers. This is reflected in the above-average open rates (Ø > 26%) and click rates (Ø > 6.5%).

Mobile & Ecouponing

PAYBACK is already where others are just getting started

  • Largest European mobile couponing provider
  • Coupons online and mobile
  • Coupon Center at PAYBACK.de
  • Mobile Website
  • PAYBACK App with 10 Mio. aktive users and a mobile Payment function
  • Creative, regional und flexible marketingactions

The coupons are always with you

PAYBACK customers no longer need to remember to put paper coupons in their wallets before shopping: they can activate electronic coupons (eCoupons) before making a purchase - either via the PAYBACK Online Coupon Center, the mobile website or the PAYBACK app. 

Here, they also receive up-to-date information such as the location of the nearest PAYBACK partner or call up their current points balance. What's more, they can collect additional points via the app, for example on iTunes and in the App Store.

While other providers first build up their user base via mobile or web, PAYBACK has long been "multichannel" and mobile: all eCoupons can be used via smartphone and synchronously via the internet.

Increase purchase activity through mobile couponing

The mobile PAYBACK world of benefits increased purchasing activity in the user group by 7 percent; 35 percent of app users had not previously used paper coupons. Since using the app, they have redeemed 50 percent more coupons than the reference group.

Marketingplatform for FMCG partners

Top position in reach and personalization

PAYBACK has also expanded its range of services: In addition to partners, brand-name advertisers and media agencies can now use PAYBACK as a media platform. As an advertising medium, PAYBACK occupies a top position in terms of reach. Particularly important and interesting for partners and companies is the intelligent approach of providing each customer with precisely those offers that actually appeal to them. Reach and target group accuracy are optimally combined, resulting in a measurable increase in campaign efficiency.

Shopper insights based on real purchase data

PAYBACK can guarantee end-to-end tracking from customer contact to coupon redemption based on real purchase data. FCMG and branded goods manufacturers benefit from detailed profile analyses and response values according to different customer groups (e.g. new product buyers vs. existing customers).

Use in all stages of the sales process

Unlike traditional couponing, PAYBACK does not just provide tactical buying impulses. Rather, the media are suitable for use in all stages of the sales process, from the information phase to build customer awareness and brand recognition or image, through the actual purchase to after-sales communication.

Cross-media approach for the respective desired channel

In practice, this means that 31 million active card users are informed about the latest partner offers and bargains via traditional direct mailings, e-mail newsletters, more than 20,000 PoS at partner companies, the PAYBACK.de website, the PAYBACK app and the PAYBACK Facebook fan page. 

The actual impetus to buy is provided by PAYBACK with the help of advantage offers and coupons tailored to customer needs. These ensure that customers prefer to meet their needs at the participating companies and redeem coupons in order to fill their points account as quickly as possible. The cross-media approach ensures that participants are kept up to date on new promotions using precisely the communication medium of their choice.
