Astro Offers: The Best Kept Secret of Astro Neighborhood Retailer Success

Did you know that Astro Neighborhood Retailers who participate in Astro Offers, on average, increase their monthly MSRP sales by anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand? There were several Astro Neighborhood Retailers who increased their monthly MSRP sales by tens of thousands! 🙀

Astro Offers are by far the easiest way to give your business a boost, promote your favorite brands and products, and reward your loyal customers with exclusive deals to look forward to every month. 😸

Does your store subscribe to Astro Offers? Now is the best time to join the party, ahem, paw-ty!

• Astro Offers are Free for Astro Neighborhood Retailers to enroll in.

• The discounts and free goods rewarded to your customers are brand-funded so your credits are guaranteed.

• Astro even provides free Shelf Talkers a free My Astro Webpage, and a free Pet Owner Mobile App to help you bring your Offers to the attention of your customers.

• If you also subscribe to the Marketing Suite there are even more resources available to you to help promote these Offers to your customers.

What about TIME?

• Astro Offers take mere moments to redeem during checkout if you are using Astro manually.

• They are integrated with several POS systems such as Petshop360, Vend, Lightspeed, Springboard, and etailpet.

• Astro Offers can be submitted and uploaded manually for those Astro Neighborhood Retailers utilizing POS Reports to report their customer's redemptions.

• Most Offers run for a full month so Shelf Talkers only need to be tended to once a month, and they can be printed and hung quickly.

• The My Astro Webpage and the Mobile App update automatically based on the Offers you are enrolled in and whether or not they are currently live.

You got this! Astro Loyalty and our brand partners have your back. Let's continue to remind pet owners that it pays to shop local!

Pair these Offers with some of January's Month-Long Holidays! Campaign Templates are available in your Astro Marketing Suite, and additional promotion ideas can be found in our Monthly Promotion Calendar Guides.
