Your marketing is driving revenue your reports can’t see

Marketing that stops at the ecommerce checkout costs revenue: missed automation, weaker recommendations, and in-store sales marketing can’t claim.

In-store shoppers can appear inactive

Customers who regularly purchase in stores may be mistakenly treated as lapsed, receiving win-back discounts or being suppressed from campaigns they should see.

Post-purchase programs miss most purchases

Thank-you, replenishment, loyalty, and win-back journeys often trigger only from ecommerce orders, leaving most of a retailer’s purchases with no follow-up at all.

Personalization is based on partial behavior

A customer’s strongest product, category, brand, and basket size may be hidden inside their store purchase history.

Bring the store into every revenue decision

In-store order activity connects to the same customer profile powering your digital marketing. No separate store marketing program required.

Five ways to put in-store data to work

Store Traffic

Use digital channels to drive in-store revenue

The relationship between stores and digital channels should work in both directions. Use every digital channel to encourage store visits, promote local opportunities, and give customers flexible ways to redeem offers.

Personalize by store, region, and purchase behavior

Use preferred store, purchase location, store number, geography, and the items a customer bought in-store to tailor messaging and decide what to promote next.

Promote local opportunities

Share store events, new openings, appointments, product launches, associates, and location-specific promotions.

Connect online intent with store action

Promote reserve-in-store, buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS), nearby availability, or products the customer may want to see in person.

Make offers easy to redeem

Use scannable barcodes, QR codes, or coupon codes that work at the register, online, or across both environments.

Time the follow-up to the purchase

Wait a configurable number of days after a store purchase, then send an offer built around that customer’s category and brand preferences.

Revenue Outcomes

One platform powers the loop in both directions.
Post-Purchase

Turn every store purchase into repeat revenue

The post-purchase period is one of the most valuable moments in the customer relationship. When store transactions become available in Listrak, every purchase can begin an immediate response and a longer-term cross-channel journey.

Respond while engagement is high

Send an app push notification, SMS, or email shortly after the store transaction with a thank-you, relevant next step, or unique offer.

Continue the relationship over time

Enter the customer into a longer journey covering product care, recommendations, loyalty, and replenishment.

Personalize using the actual purchase

Use the product, category, brand, store, order value, purchase frequency, or loyalty status to decide which barcode or QR code offer to send.

Adapt based on customer response

Check whether an offer was redeemed before sending a reminder. Customers who have already converted can exit or receive a different follow-up.

Website Personalization

Convert more website visits with in-store context

A shopper who purchased in-store should not return to a generic website experience. With Experience Builder, store purchase activity, product affinity, preferred location, loyalty status, active offers, and redemption status make the entire website visit more relevant.

Welcome store shoppers back

Recognize customers who recently visited a store and continue the relationship when they return online.

Personalize around recent purchases

Show complementary products, replenishment opportunities, care content, or relevant categories based on what the customer bought in-store.

Carry offers across channels

Allow customers to see and redeem eligible store-generated offers online or in-store rather than creating disconnected promotions.

Reflect loyalty progress

Display loyalty status, available rewards, tier progress, or VIP benefits within the website experience.

Personalize the full website journey

Persistent banner

Keep an active store-generated offer, redemption deadline, loyalty balance, or tier status visible across the website. The banner can disappear when the offer is redeemed or expires.

Homepage hero

Welcome the shopper back with content based on a recent store visit, purchase, current offer, or preferred location.

Category page

Sort and filter category results around the shopper’s preferred store and recent store purchases so browsing reflects where they actually shop.

Product page

Show complementary-product or reserve-in-store messaging. VIP customers can also see relevant benefits such as early access or free shipping.

Revenue Outcomes
Higher returning-shopper conversion
More relevant recommendations
More revenue from existing traffic
Loyalty & VIP

Grow customer lifetime value across stores and digital

A customer’s value should not depend on where the transaction occurred. Combining online and in-store behavior creates a more accurate view of customer value and allows retailers to recognize, reward, and retain their best shoppers across every channel.

Identify your true VIPs

Use total purchase history, order value, and loyalty status across stores and online to spot high-value customers in real time.

Turn store buyers into members

Invite non-members to join after an in-store purchase and count that transaction toward their first reward.

Exclusive early access

Invite high-value customers to new product drops, store events, or promotions before the general audience.

Milestone messages

Celebrate loyalty tiers, purchase anniversaries, or significant achievements through email, SMS, RCS, or mobile push.

Onsite VIP recognition

Display VIP status or relevant benefits within the website or customer account experience.

Grow future loyalists

Identify customers approaching a higher tier and encourage the next action that moves the relationship forward.

Revenue Outcomes
More accurate VIP identification
Increased loyalty enrollment
Better retention
Attribution

Reveal the store revenue marketing is already driving

A customer may click an email or SMS, and later buy in a store. Without connected data, that revenue disappears from reporting. Listrak links digital engagement to store purchases so you can see which campaigns drive total retail revenue.

See the complete campaign impact

Measure revenue influenced across online and physical store purchases instead of stopping at ecommerce conversion.

Identify what drives store outcomes

Understand which messages, journeys, audience segments, product recommendations, and offers contribute to downstream store purchases.

Make better marketing investments

Use a more complete view of performance to refine targeting, promotions, channel strategy, and budget allocation.

Frequently asked questions

What is in-store marketing?

In-store marketing often means promotions and displays inside a store. For a retailer running digital channels, it also means using physical store activity, such as purchases, preferred location, and loyalty behavior, to inform and trigger marketing. When that store activity is connected to digital channels, in-store marketing becomes part of the same program that runs email, SMS, RCS, app push notifications, and website personalization rather than a separate effort.

What is omnichannel retail?

Omnichannel retail connects customer identity, behavior, and purchase activity across physical stores and digital channels. It allows activity in one channel to influence the customer’s experience in another.

Can Listrak identify customers who purchase only in stores?

When an in-store transaction includes the customer’s email address, Listrak can connect the purchase with the customer profile and use it across segmentation, personalization, and cross-channel engagement.

Can store purchases trigger email, SMS, or mobile journeys?

Yes. A store purchase can trigger an immediate mobile response and enter the customer into a longer journey covering thank-you, review, replenishment, product-care, loyalty, cross-sell, VIP, or win-back messaging.

Does this require a loyalty program?

No. A loyalty program adds tier and reward data, but store purchase, product, and location activity can drive segmentation, journeys, recommendations, and personalization on their own.

Can in-store activity personalize the website?

Yes. Using Experience Builder, store purchase history, product affinity, loyalty status, active offers, and preferred location can personalize persistent banners, homepage content, category and product pages, recommendations, cart messaging, checkout, and store-specific content.

Can email and SMS revenue be attributed to in-store purchases?

When email and SMS clicks and store transactions are connected to the same customer profile, retailers can identify store purchases that followed a click and include that revenue in performance reporting. This is often called offline attribution.

Can Listrak prevent active store shoppers from entering win-back campaigns?

Yes. Store purchase activity can be considered when determining whether a customer is active or lapsed, helping prevent inappropriate win-back messages and unnecessary discounts.

Can store purchase data improve product recommendations?

Yes. Using both store and ecommerce purchase history creates a more complete view of product, brand, category, price, and replenishment affinity.

Can retailers personalize marketing by store location?

Yes. Store number, preferred location, geography, purchase location, and local behavior can be used to personalize store names, events, inventory, associates, and regional offers.

What is the difference between multichannel and omnichannel retail marketing?

Multichannel marketing operates across several channels. Omnichannel marketing connects customer data and behavior across those channels so an action in one channel can inform the experience in another.

Does connecting store data require a separate system?

Listrak connects customer identity, engagement, purchase, browsing, and channel activity within one platform. Store data enriches that existing customer profile and becomes available for activation across the program. See how the Listrak Data Platform builds that profile.

What store data is required?

Requirements depend on the desired use cases. Each store order needs the customer’s email address to connect to their profile. Listrak works with each retailer to validate available customer, order, product, source, location, and redemption information and determine the appropriate implementation.
