Building Brand Value: Leveling Up to Outshine Third-Party Discount Apps
In today's highly competitive marketplace, building and maintaining brand value is crucial for businesses looking to stay ahead. One effective way to achieve this is by offering incentives and rewards that engage customers and build brand loyalty. While third-party discount apps have gained popularity for their convenience, they often fall short in terms of delivering the most valuable brand experience.
In this blog post, we will explore how leveraging custom loyalty and reward campaigns, like those offered with Incentivaze, can take brands to new heights, allowing them to create personalized incentives that better resonate with their target audience and elevate brand value.
The Limitations of Third-Party Discount Apps:
Third-party discount apps have undoubtedly provided businesses with a quick and accessible way to offer discounts to customers. However, they often come with limitations that hinder brand differentiation and fail to establish a lasting connection with consumers. Some key drawbacks include:
Lack of Brand Identity: Third-party apps prioritize deals and discounts over a brand's unique value proposition, making it challenging to stand out from competitors.
Limited Customization: Pre-designed discount structures and limited personalization options restrict teams’ ability to create tailored promotions aligned with their brand and target audience. Discounting products can also devalue the brand and its perceived quality as frequent discounts can create a cycle of dependence, where customers only buy during discount periods, negatively impacting regular sales and profitability.
Data Ownership Concerns: With third-party apps, data ownership, and customer insights may remain with the platform, limiting your ability to leverage valuable information for future marketing efforts.

The unique rewards, free fitness subscriptions, aligned with the core values of their target audience leveling up from a standard cash incentive.
Flow Water: They utilized Incentivaze to deliver a stock-up program to drive trial of their various flavors during the challenging early days of COVID when in-store sampling was canceled.
