Recibos digitais: o início de uma nova relação com os clientes

Text

In the dynamic landscape of modern commerce, businesses are constantly seeking innovative solutions to drive efficiency, foster customer loyalty, and gain valuable insights into consumer behavior. Embracing the digital era, many merchants are now turning to digital receipts as a game-changing tool that offers personalized experiences for both businesses and customers alike and also help them manage their payments more effectively.

An efficient solution for merchants

From a business perspective, digital receipts offer significant advantages in terms of efficiency and data management. Automating receipt generation and delivery processes eliminates manual tasks, reducing administrative burdens and enabling businesses to allocate resources more effectively. But even more importantly, digital receipts facilitate data analysis and customer relationship management. By collecting and analyzing transaction data, businesses can gain valuable insights into consumer behavior, preferences, and trends, enabling them to make informed strategic decisions and enhance personalized marketing efforts. At the same time, the payment data that is stored digitally can be used to help payment reconciliation and manage far more easily than up to now the headache-inducing task of Credit Card Chargebacks.

What are these data?

When we look at a paper receipt, we can observe different types of information that details of the purchase tell us : the store reference, the list of products purchased, the order amount, the date & time of the event and the payment method.

Analysing just these five data points alone opens up huge opportunities to communicate directly with consumers based on their behavior. Obviously, supermarkets and major retailers have been doing this for years, but doing so for smaller outlets has been a challenge due to the difficulty in data capture and the cost of managing systems that go with it. New digital receipt technology changes that, going beyond basic Recency/Frequency/Monetary data into a much richer data set of basket information.

A new personalized experience for customers

Digital receipts offer a personalized and seamless experience to consumers through various means. Businesses can now include meticulously tailored offers and promotions based on customers' unique purchase history and preferences, thus significantly enhancing their relevance and impact. By seamlessly integrating digital receipts with loyalty programs, customers can effortlessly accumulate rewards and gain access to exclusive discounts and privileges, which in turn helps businesses to foster a sense of value and loyalty.

Moreover, the convenience of accessing comprehensive purchase history through digital receipts streamlines the process of returns and exchanges, ensuring a hassle-free customer experience. By embedding targeted surveys and feedback requests within digital receipts, businesses can actively gather valuable insights from customers, enabling them to make informed decisions and continually refine their offerings.

Elevating customer experience through cohesion

The seamless integration of digital receipts with other digital channels ensures a consistent and cohesive experience for customers. This integration empowers businesses to maintain strong and ongoing communication beyond mere transactions, allowing for personalized interactions that deepen customer engagement and foster long-term loyalty.

On top of the terminal experience for merchants, the consumer experience can also be personalized to offer an optimum branding opportunity and to continue the experience after the sale.

For example, QR codes can be personalized with brand colors and logos. SMS texts can be personalized with downloadable receipts. And emails have multiple possibilities of customization with the email subjects, header, body and footer, both in content and colors.

Merchants can personalize their communication assets from a portal to which they can easily set up their own branding.
