Alliance brings affiliate program technology to brick-and-mortar retailers
SALT LAKE CITY, June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Access Development, a leading provider
of loyalty marketing solutions since 1984, and Moneris Solutions, one of North
America's largest processors of electronic payments, announced today a
strategic partnership to build revenue for Moneris merchants.
The alliance offers brick-and-mortar Moneris retailers a platform similar to
online affiliate programs. Access provides extensive advertising to a large,
exclusive audience that tends to stay loyal and spend more, allowing the
merchant to fund the promotion only when a purchase is made.
"This partnership enables Moneris to add a proven loyalty model to its suite
of solutions, helping our retailers increase sales and maximize their
marketing dollar." said Ken Musante, Moneris' Chief Sales Officer.
When Moneris merchants join the network, they become "preferred providers" for
the cardholders of Access client banks and payment card issuers. Merchants
attract cardholders with exclusive, cash-back offers which are processed
automatically when purchases are made with cards registered in the program.
Meanwhile, the Access system allows merchants to instantly measure their ROI
online.
"The Access marketing strategy effectively drives increased spending, boosting
credit transaction amounts by 37% on average, 11% for debit," explains Kelly
Passey, EVP of Loyalty at Access. "So not only do participating retailers
benefit, but our card-issuing clients see higher interchange income as well."
"Merchants and card issuers build revenue and loyalty, and the cardholder
saves money," says Passey. "Everyone wins."
The Access Rewards platform is now available to card issuers and all US
Moneris merchants. Call 866.714.6103.
