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

Sustainability has become a priority for businesses and consumers alike. Recognizing this shift, Unilever partnered with Kringle to create LEAP Rewards, a loyalty program designed to inspire eco-conscious shopping behaviors while advancing environmental goals. With its seamless receipt-scanning process and impactful rewards, the program successfully blended Unilever’s mission with customer values.

The Vision: Building Loyalty Through Sustainability

Unilever’s goal was to connect meaningfully with customers while promoting sustainable choices. LEAP Rewards encouraged customers to upload receipts for purchases of participating Unilever brands, such as Dove, via a dedicated app. In return, members earned points redeemable for meaningful rewards, including:

🌱 Tree Planting: Supporting global reforestation initiatives.
🍚 Meal Donations: Helping underprivileged communities.
🎫 Exclusive Discounts: Offering savings on future purchases.

This approach not only strengthened customer loyalty but also fostered eco-friendly purchasing habits, aligning with Unilever’s sustainability mission.

Kringle’s Role: Delivering Seamless, Secure, and Scalable Solutions

Kringle’s receipt scanning technology powered the LEAP Rewards program with features tailored to maximize engagement, security, and scalability:

• Effortless Receipt Submission: Customers could upload receipts by taking a photo through the app or uploading an image from their device. This frictionless process boosted participation rates.

• Automated Validation: Kringle’s advanced technology ensured receipts were validated accurately and quickly, making reward distribution fair and reliable while reducing manual errors.

• Customizable Guardrails: Unilever could implement specific rules to maintain fairness, prevent fraud, and optimize the program’s performance.
