AppCard — the leading marketing personalization, shopper analytics, and customer retention platform for independent grocers — is partnering with Ibotta and joining the IPN, the first digital network that delivers promotions in a coordinated fashion across retailer platforms, large third-party publisher sites, and Ibotta’s leading direct-to-consumer properties.
AppCard is the first one-to-many partner that supplies independent grocers with digital loyalty content across multiple channels: mobile (in-app), email, web, in-store signage, shelf tag, kiosk, and more.
The partnership marks a significant expansion of the IPN’s portfolio of publishers, extending the network beyond mass retailers to now include a diverse array of independent retailers as well. Digital offers will become available to an additional 25M shoppers and 2,000 stores across 375 AppCard independent grocers on the IPN.
