Linkable Networks was founded on the premise that loyalty, not discounts or coupons, drives long-term growth for brands and retailers. Loyalty is what separates consumables from brands and consumers now expect the loyalty experience to be in context of them wherever and whenever they purchase. Since 2011, we`ve been nose-down building a scalable platform that provides brands and retailers the ability to engage, reward and incent their consumers directly and across any channel – online, mobile and in-store. We pioneered the concept of card-linked-offers and have taken it to the next level – always-on loyalty. Both our self-service and SaaS-based platforms enable the creation of actionable ads, coupons, offers, promotions, rebates and more that let you reward loyalty… not just discount a purchase. This is the future of Loyalty. And, it starts with a Link.
