I don’t coupon….how is Welcomemat different from a coupon program?
Welcomemat is not a coupon program. So, we are aligned… we don’t coupon either! The Welcomemat platform is a loyalty program designed to drive in new customers by offering them a one-time gift. During the major life change of a move, new movers are forming habits and patterns that stick for years to come. Our goal is to introduce your business to that new family or individual and help you seal that long-term loyal relationship that will provide tremendous revenue opportunity.
Is it expensive to use Welcomemat?
Welcomemat is built for businesses of all sizes. The investment you make depends on the size of the area you want to reach.
