They can use it to make the app experience and communication more relevant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what about first-time app users? How do you find out which offers or features might be useful enough for that shopper to come back?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let people choose a preferred store, favorite categories, or a dietary preference if that choice immediately changes what they see. A store selection should show local offers and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But keep in mind: a vegetarian preference should help with recipes or product discovery. If nothing changes, the question feels like work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">REWE&#8217;s Bonus program illustrates what customer preferences can influence later in the relationship: individual coupons within the program&#8217;s rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That does not mean every app needs a questionnaire at launch.

retail apps we reviewed. The interesting difference is what customers have to do to receive them. Some benefits apply automatically. Others only work if a coupon was activated before checkout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">EDEKA&#8217;s app is a good example of why the details matter. It distinguishes between App Deals, EDEKA coupons, and linked PAYBACK benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PAYBACK coupons need to be activated, and eligible benefits can be applied when the app QR code is scanned. A shopper shouldn&#8217;t discover how discounts work through a failed redemption at checkout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What can you learn from this for your own app? Show the action a customer needs to take while there is still time to take it. If an offer applies automatically, tell them that. Then look beyond offer views in your reporting. How many eligible shoppers activated the coupon, and how many actually received the benefit at checkout, where the purchase data allows you to see it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Could your customer explain how to get the discount after seeing the offer once?<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
