Loyalty Management Programs are Used Across a Variety of Markets Including Cannabis

NEW YORK, March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to data compiled by Allied Market Research, the Loyalty Management Market is expected to grow to $6.95 billion at a CAGR of 20.8 percent. The primary driver for the market is the continuous effort by companies to improve customer satisfaction. Methods to achieve this goal include pushing out initiatives that offer loyalty rewards for discounted products. Companies push out these initiatives to compete against its peers in the same industry to pull in more consumers. The rise in Loyalty Management is attributed to growing expenditure on loyalty programs, and rapid growth in applications of technologies such as big data analytics and machine learning. North America generated the highest revenue in the global loyalty management market in 2016 due to adequate infrastructural development for the adoption of loyalty management. Snipp Interactive Inc.

According to Atul Sabharwal, Chief Executive Officer at Snipp, "We are very excited to announce the Cannabis Marketing Resource Center. Having access to such a wealth of knowledge will allow the industry to launch sophisticated, compliant and responsible programs that will enable all of the players along the chain - from manufacturers to distributors to retailers and the associated accessory providers -- to plan for a future that will resemble the experience of very similar regulated industries. This is familiar ground for Snipp as a veteran provider for these sectors, so we have the tools to help cannabis companies as they begin to face the inevitable pressures that come with competition, particularly in the areas of customer acquisition and retention, along with the ongoing task of managing competing priorities among manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Our deep expertise in Pharma programs will also help players in the medical cannabis space better equip themselves to work with the medical community.

We are excited by the interest we are getting from leading companies in this space, many of whom have now received licenses not only to grow Cannabis but also to distribute through established retail channels like Shoppers Drug Mart. Snipp already carries out multiple programs within Shoppers for a variety of brands and is very familiar with the dynamics of competitive selling for manufacturers who are reliant on their retail partners to drive sales of their products. In the US we are already in discussions with the leading Cannabis chain store in Colorado and with one of the largest global manufacturers of accessories for the Cannabis industry. Moreover, we already work closely with multiple brands of a $40+ Billion USD Fortune 500 Company in the Wines and Spirits space, who recently made a $191MM investment in a world leading diversified Cannabis company based in Canada to bring Marijuana infused drinks to the Canadian market. With this background, we are very well positioned to service the needs of this nascent marketplace and drive adoption of our solutions in yet another industry vertical."
