Implementation Details

Developed scalable offer ingestion pipeline with normalization rules and version control for millions of coupons.
Implemented geo-fencing and push notification engine to surface contextually relevant deals.
Built barcode and QR redemption workflows with offline support for merchants lacking connectivity.
Integrated analytics suite measuring offer impressions, saves, and redemptions for partner reporting.

Campaign builder that targets offers by ZIP code, category, member tier, or historical spend.
Insights dashboard tracking total savings, top-performing merchants, and engagement cohorts.

The Problem

Members were shifting to mobile-first experiences while the printed book cycle made it difficult to update or personalize offers. Entertainment® needed a digital platform that preserved vendor relationships and captured real-time redemption data.

The Challenge

We had to onboard thousands of merchants, normalize offer rules, and handle offline redemption scenarios. The app also needed location-aware notifications, barcode/QR redemption, and analytics that measured lift across national promotions.

The Result

Within six months, mobile redemptions surpassed print for participating markets, members saved 2.3× more per quarter, and Entertainment® gained insight into offer performance by geography and category.

Key Requirements

Provide a mobile-first alternative to the printed Entertainment® coupon book.
Ensure accurate, up-to-date offers while empowering merchants to manage listings independently.
Deliver actionable analytics that guide national, regional, and partner-specific promotions.

Results & Impact

Mobile redemptions overtook print in pilot markets within six months.
Members saved 2.3× more per quarter due to real-time deal discovery and reminders.
Merchant churn dropped by 18% thanks to transparent performance dashboards.
