Nift Advertising for Restaurants: Transforming Customer Acquisition

Nift has transformed how consumers discover and try restaurants by seamlessly integrating restaurant offers as ‘thank you’ gifts within a closed ecosystem of premium consumer apps. The key here is the concept of thank-you gifts. As an alternative to ads, Nift’s personalized thank-you gifts are only given to high-value customers after completing an action — such as leaving a review on Tripadvisor, paying for parking via ParkMobile, or registering for a yoga class via Mindbody. Nift’s proprietary AI selects individualized gifts, ensuring that restaurant gifts are only available to the right local customers who are actively seeking new dining experiences.

Critical Benefits of Nift Advertising for Restaurants:

• 100% trackable customer acquisition
• Cost-Effective: Cost that rivals paid digital ads
• Simplicity: No POS integration
• Geo-Targeting: Attract customers where traffic is needed most
• First-Party Data Collection: Grow your database with name, email, and opt-in permission for targeted remarketing
• Flexible Redemption: In-person or direct online orders, bypassing third-party apps

Unlike traditional marketing channels, Nift provides verifiable customer acquisition for restaurants, rivaling paid digital ads. It streamlines the process by eliminating the need for complex point-of-sale integrations, offering geo-targeting, and allowing suppression of existing databases.
