Company 

Klikin is loyalty reinvented for your business.

Since its inception in May 2012, Klikin’s only mission has been to provide a platform where retail businesses and customers can interact and get to know each other better.

Klikin is a unique and easy-to-use solution, which allows customers (klikers) to accumulate ‘kliks’ for their purchases at their regular stores and exchange them for advantages designed especially for them. They simply need to download the app on their mobile and ‘klik in’ with the tablet in store. 

Klikin is also a tool for retailers to create a deeper bond with their customers, as they get to know them and their purchasing habits better. This encourages customer loyalty as customers are more motivated to visit their stores more often. The promotions and gifts (Snaks) also help to drive new customers to the stores. 

Background

In December 2012, Klikin launched version 1.0 of the app, which allowed retail business owners to know more about their customers (their likes, opinions, etc…) and find out what would motivate them to visit their establishments more often.

For the customers, Klikin offered an unprecedented source of information about all the stores, cafes, spas and more around them offering exclusive promotional offers.

Klikin learnt that retailers trade benefited from a program that helps them to reinforce their relationship with their customers as well as helped to attract new ones.  And that customers became more loyal to their favourite stores when they were presented with exclusive offers and packages tailored especially to them.

As a response to this, Klikin’s reinvented loyalty program was born.

Klikin was founded by Gustavo García Brusilovsky (CEO), Patrick Raibaut (CFO) and Alex Dantart (CTO).
