Sustainable Loyalty : How Kringle Powered Unilever’s LEAP Rewards Success

 

Sustainability is more than a trend—it’s a priority for both businesses and consumers. Recognizing this shift, Unilever sought an innovative approach to engage customers while advancing its environmental goals. Enter LEAP Rewards, a forward-thinking loyalty program developed in partnership with Kringle. Designed to inspire eco-conscious shopping behaviors, the program rewarded customers for making sustainable choices through a seamless receipt scanning process.

But LEAP Rewards wasn’t just about offering incentives. It was about harmonizing Unilever’s business objectives with customer values while ensuring fairness, security, and scalability. Here’s how Kringle’s technology played a pivotal role.

The Vision Behind LEAP Rewards

Unilever wanted to connect with customers in a meaningful way while reinforcing its sustainability mission. LEAP Rewards encouraged users to upload receipts for specific Unilever brands, such as Dove, via a dedicated app. In return, participants earned points that could be redeemed for impactful rewards, including:

🌱 Planting Trees: Supporting global reforestation efforts. 

🍚 Donating Meals: Helping underprivileged communities.

🎫 Exclusive Discounts: Offering savings on future purchases.

This approach not only cultivated customer loyalty but also promoted eco-friendly purchasing habits.

Kringle’s Solution: Seamless, Scalable, Secure

To bring Unilever’s vision to life, Kringle delivered a robust receipt scanning platform tailored for efficiency and scalability. Key features of the solution included:

1. Easy Receipt Submission

Customers could quickly submit receipts by either taking a picture of them directly via the LEAP Rewards app or uploading an image from their device. This user-friendly feature minimized friction and boosted participation rates.

2. Automated Receipt Validation

Kringle’s advanced technology ensured accurate and transparent validation of receipts, making reward distribution fair and reliable. This automated process reduced manual errors and enhanced user trust.

3. Customizable Guardrails

To ensure a secure and optimized experience, Unilever was empowered to configure custom guardrails within the program. These safeguards maintained fairness, minimized fraud, and provided Unilever with the flexibility to manage the program effectively.
