Blackhawk Network customers can now benefit from innovative digital rewards technology to deliver hyper-targeted engagement and drive customer loyalty
Pleasanton, CA, October 19, 2023 – Blackhawk Network (BHN) today announces BHN Rewards Integrates With Salesforce: Engage Prospects, Appease Customers on Salesforce AppExchange, which empowers customers to leverage cost- and time-efficient, innovative digital rewards technology to help drive customer loyalty. The tool enables businesses to send personalized digital gift and prepaid cards to build rapport and drive engagement with sales prospects and existing customers for taking actions like joining webinars or demonstrations, and to quickly appease dissatisfied customers on the spot.
BHN, a global branded payments and incentives provider, developed this technology to integrate seamlessly with Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, helping businesses more directly connect with their target audiences in real-time, empowering employees to work more autonomously and eliminating the need for reps to frequently switch between software programs.
The BHN Rewards Integration with Salesforce is currently available on AppExchange here.
As sales teams are being tasked to do more with less, the BHN Rewards integration offers users better ways to attract prospects, keep customers engaged and loyal, boost response rates, accelerate deal velocity, improve close rates, quickly provide customer appeasements, and leverage touchpoint opportunities to drive brand loyalty. Consumers value choice, and the BHN Rewards Integration with Salesforce provides more than 400+ digital gift and prepaid card reward choices that can be custom-curated for individuals or groups; recipients also have an option to e-donate their reward(s) to over a dozen charities.
The BHN Rewards Integration with Salesforce features digital rewards technology that keeps software costs to a minimum (there is no limit on seats or licenses, so every frontline employee has access for a flat rate), prevents representatives from having to frequently switch between software tools, eliminates shipping overhead and timelines via a fully digital process, and refunds unclaimed rewards. Users are given full control over multiple campaigns and user groups, can track reward status and maintain full visibility into reward usage, can set budget guardrails, and have access to real-time financial updates via spending summaries available within Salesforce.
