KILL FRICTION / CREATE REWARD
Chosen by customers?
We live in a choice economy – knowing when and why customers will choose to spend with you is critical. With that knowledge you can drive effective strategy, propositions and experiences that make you a favoured choice in every key shopper mission.
Uncrowd’s FRi™ is fundamentally about showing you when and why a customer will prefer you to a rival. In the era of total and easy access to competing choices, knowing where you stand among those choices is how you win customers, reduce churn and save millions.
