On July 23, 2013, Unata and Longo’s Brothers Fruit Markets Inc., joined forces and launched a best in class mobile experience for Longo’s customers. Longo’s customers have embraced the Unata App, especially some of Longo’s highest valued customers. Mobile users had 61% higher spend and visited Longo’s stores 72% more frequently than the average Longo’s loyalty member.
The Unata App is connected to Longo’s loyalty program, which enables loyalty members to access their points balance, use their phone as a “digital loyalty card” at checkout, and instantly earn points by completing various actions in the App. Loyalty Members can also use the App to build shopping lists from past purchases, obtain personalized product recommendations and access a personalized flyer.
This case study represents the first 30 days since the launch of the Apps and highlights how Unata's platform successfully tracks & influences Longo's shoppers along the path to purchase.
