The Top Companies Reaping Rewards From Popular Loyalty Programs

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Florida, April 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Our world is more connected than ever before thanks to social media. In fact, for the 3.5 billion social media users worldwide, it's changed the way we gather information, the way we shop, the way we socialize, and the way we work. For businesses, it has provided an incredible opportunity to connect with customers in ways that weren't possible years ago. It's allowed some to create successful loyalty programs, which are wildly popular for consumers. Facebook, for example is testing a new option that connects brand loyalty programs to in-app activity. And while loyalty programs may "be the oldest trick in the book," says Business Insider, "they remain one of the most effective for getting consumers to stick with a company." Demand for such loyalty programs is also creating sizable opportunity for companies such as Pennexx Foods Inc. (OTC: PNNX), Rakuten Inc. (OTC: RKUNY), Nielsen Holdings PLC (NYSE: NLSN), Quotient Technology Inc. (NYSE: QUOT), and Groupon Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN).

Pennexx Foods Inc. (OTC: PNNX) BREAKING NEWS: Pennexx Foods Inc. Pennexx launched its Your Social Offers (YSO) portal to the public at http://yoursocialoffers.com that allows businesses to register and create a rewards campaign that can grow virally on Facebook. To get the reward, consumers share the reward on Facebook which then allows their friends to also get the benefit by sharing the reward to their own followers. Vincent Risalvato, CEO Pennexx said, "I believe that this product can be used to enlighten the public of stores which are open for pickup and delivery during this trying time and I am very excited to help businesses regain business and grow." What gives this business such great growth potential is that people want to save money and businesses want to grow. This makes the product applicable to every business and industry. Pennexx has revised its user estimate and now firmly believes they could reach a million users by the end of August of this year. This means that Pennexx will have access to serve millions of users as the company grows. Pennexx is waiving its subscription fee for 90-days to help businesses in need and they urge everyone to support their local businesses by ordering for pick and delivery. YSO has setup a new video area on its website at http://yoursocialoffers.com/videos where they have posted both pitch and instructional videos about the product.
