“98% of consumers are more likely to engage with brands that provide instant rewards.” – Marketing weekly
The rise of digital till slip competitions
Digital till slip technology provides brands with a streamlined, paperless method for validating purchases. Through SmartSlip, customers submit digital images of their receipts via WhatsApp, unlocking rewards or entries into brand competitions. This innovation is convenient, eco-friendly, and aligned with modern customer expectations for quick, easy, and mobile-friendly brand interactions.
Customers simply photograph and submit their till slips after making qualifying purchases. SmartSlip’s AI-driven validation process ensures that the transaction is genuine, protecting the campaign’s integrity while enhancing the customer experience with minimal friction.
