How Dia Portugal increased redemption rates from 4% to 20% in only two months
The Company
Dia is a multinational supermarket chain founded in 1979. They have nearly 6,000 food
stores, both owned and franchised. Dia group is present in Spain, Portugal, Argentina,
and Brazil.
The leading supermarket has more than 45 million customers that shop at
their physical establishments and online store.
The challenge
Dia wanted to activate their customer data with personalized offers at scale.
They had been collecting customer data for years, but they lacked a system to handle its unique, complex nature.
Dia wanted to spend more time on strategizing and less time in execution.
They needed simple tools and technology that would make implementation of marketing activities seamless and quick, instead of being forced to wait on an already overburdened IT department.
Dia wanted to understand their audience and segment their offers and rewards in a more efficient way.
They needed access to information that had been scattered across silos so they could have a more holistic understanding of their customers.
Dia wanted to multiply by 3 the incremental ratio of their couponing efforts
