The result has been amazing, we tripled member active rate and accelerated member acquisition tremendously from bringing in compelling offers that delight consumers, thanks to Capillary and all the stakeholders involved.”

Since then, we have grown to become one of the largest programs with 100M+ satisfied shoppers who visit our ever increasing number of stores across the length and breadth of the country. We have leveraged analytics at scale to deliver value to our shoppers. Our campaigns are personalized for individual shoppers based on their preferences of when and what they buy, helping us fulfill their aspirations. We are proud to partner with Capillary Technologies. They clearly understand our mission, and have enabled us to engage effectively with our shoppers.”
