Astro has a New Program Flyer Page
Our new Program Flyer showcases all brand-sponsored Frequent Buyer, Astro Offers, and Sharing the Love Adoption Programs on the Astro platform.
Limited Time Offers displays all current and upcoming Offers on the Astro platform. Filters can be applied to see just Current Offers or a specific Month's Offers. You can also apply filters to see those Offers specific to your favorite Brand, or ones that cater to a specific product type or pet type. Clicking on an Offer will display additional details pertaining to that Offer - such as the Pet Owner Statement and availability date range. We love how crisp and clean everyone's Offer Images look on this new page!
Pet Adoption Rewards includes an introduction video about our Sharing the Love platform. Below are listed all of our brand-sponsored Adoption Programs. Filters can be applied to see those pertaining to a specific Brand, Category, or Species. Participating brands will be given the opportunity to spruce up their Sharing the Love images to match the new theme. Brand Partners such as Primal Pet Foods, Pets Global, PetFX, Northwest Naturals, and Firstmate have led the charge in our Sharing the Love makeover!
Frequent Buyer contains our most anticipated update! Upon entering this page you will see our newest brand-sponsored Frequent Buyer listed first. If you want to be certain you haven't missed a new release use the first drop-down menu to select either New Past 30 Days or 6 Months, 12 Months. Never miss out on a new Frequent Buyer Program again! There are also filters to display all programs pertaining to a specific brand, category, or pet type. Clicking on a program's Details will display its Pet Owner Statement.
Retailers, I'm sure you're thinking that this page looks very similar to your My Astro Webpage - and you're exactly right! And guess what, very soon your My Astro Webpage will have the same updated design elements as this page. (We love a good makeover!) Additional upgrades will include a Pet Owner Login so your customers can look up their active Frequent Buyer Cards, Astro Points, and Account Info just as they would on the Free Consumer Mobile App. We are also adding further customization options such as a way for you to include links to your social media pages.
Astro Brand Partners, soon you will have your own Brand Flyer page very similar to this one that highlights your brand's full participation on Astro. Finally, a clean shareable URL that represents your awesome presence on our platform that showcases how you support local businesses! Use our new Astro Program Flyer to examine your brand's Program Images and Pet Owner Statements (viewable when Details is clicked). Now is the time to spice up your brand's presence to ensure your Astro Flyer really pops. More details coming soon so watch your inbox for instructions and guidelines for submitting new Frequent Buyer and Sharing the Love imagery. For those go-getters who want a head start - here ya go!
