The acceleration of digital transformation has led to fierce competition, challenging enterprises to stand out and retain customers. Enterprises are also struggling to find better ways to collect customer data, acquire new customers, and deliver a personalized omnichannel customer experience. Loyalty is now a business-critical growth strategy that can help enterprises address these challenges, including creating unique one-to-one interactions across every touchpoint. Adweek reports that personalization can reduce acquisition costs by as much as 50 percent, lift revenue up to 15 percent, and increase marketing spend efficiency as much as 30 percent.

Annex Cloud’s Loyalty Experience Platform™, combined with the commercetools Digital Commerce Platform, enables brands to go to market faster, innovate and pivot more easily. The integration enables brands to individualize interactions across the buyer’s journey, engage customers across preferred channels, add meaningful value between transactions, and reward their best customers. Elevating customer relationships through timely, relevant communications creates emotional bonds that drive repeat sales and reduce churn.

Both platforms are built for global, offer maximum flexibility and have significant native capabilities. Annex Cloud’s integration with the commercetools ecommerce experience platform includes the ability to display and leverage loyalty data across the buyer’s journey—including on product, category, and confirmation pages. It also enables brands to send the right messaging, promotions, and offers throughout the buying process.
