Success story:
BM Supermercados
We achieve a significant migration of customers to the App increasing opening rates and deliverability.
Custom customer loyalty
BM Supermercados is a chain of local supermarkets belonging to the Uvesco Group that helps its customers avoid traveling by car and large shopping centers.
Its business model is developed to reach small towns and neighborhoods offering quality, fresh and seasonal products with daily order and service and more than 4,000 assortment references, adapted to the reality of each store.
The team recently developed its mobile app to manage the loyalty of its users, moving its focus from the physical card to the use of the App for the promotion of offers and discount coupons.
Additionally it moved its focus for the communication of the physical channel focused almost 100% in the generic catalog to the communication of the offers in a personalized way through the App.
This change of focus frees BM Supermarkets from the recurring cost of a low-performance general communication to a much more personalized communication for its customers and with a greater redemption of offers, resulting in greater control of the benefit of each promotion.

Measurable results

For Push Notifications opening rates vary depending on the type of notification, with Mondays and Thursdays being the days with the best opening ratio:
- Transactional Push Notification: Over 6%.
- Push notification with promotion: Over 8%.
- Rich Push: Greater than 11%.
Smart segmentation
By integrating with BM Supermarket backend systems, daily segmentation is performed based on the user’s omnichannel behavior:
- Users who have bought in the online store that are rewarded with a specific promotion.
- Users who have not bought in the online store for x days.
- Users who have bought in a specific physical store or area that are rewarded with a specific promotion.
In the sending of transactional Push Notifications, the reactivation of users is optimized through audiences such as the following:
- Users who have installed the App but have not registered.
- Users who do not know any functionality of the App (example: shopping list).
- Users who have not opened the App for x days.
Following steps
BM Supermercados is delighted with the use and ease that EMMA provides to its marketing and advertising team to expand their communication and measure results in real time.
BM is currently developing his acquisition channel to expand his approach to new clients that are not yet part of his loyalty program.
In order to do this, BM Supermercados is integrating EMMA attribution into its app.
