For brands with extensive store networks, we’re seeing increasing demand to be able to tailor their promotional campaigns for each individual store. This is critical to offering customers a more personalized shopping experience based on regional and demographic trends and empowers in-store teams to independently manage their promotions without relying heavily on developers. 

Talon.One’s Store enables this level of customization, powering users to connect new or existing promotions to specific stores in a few clicks.

The feature is especially useful for clients with multiple physical and online stores in various locations. Through Store, our clients can consolidate all their sales channels into one cohesive list, linking new or existing promotion campaigns to specific stores. Talon.One’s Store feature also enables multi-brand groups to conduct promotional campaigns for specific brands and stores, providing them with limitless promotion options and opening up new avenues to boost revenue.

Managing all your promotions, especially across various markets and customer groups, can feel overwhelming when you don’t have clear oversight - and even more so when you want to give your team visibility too.

With Talon.One’s new Campaign Calendar feature, clients gain an overview of all past, current, and planned promotions in one simple calendar view. 

With user-friendly navigation and handy filter options, users get a bird’s-eye view of promotional activities, anticipate the highs and lows in their promotions calendar, and ultimately plan their campaigns more efficiently.

As a crucial component of robust security measures, two-factor authentication (2FA) plays a pivotal role in fortifying defenses against cyberattacks and data breaches for businesses of all sizes. By introducing 2FA when logging into Talon.One, we’re adding an extra layer of protection by requiring users to provide two forms of identification before accessing accounts or systems, and significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Once activated, users will be asked to enter an access code sent to their account email. The admins of your Talon.One account can choose either of these two options to enforce 2FA:

Customized error messages help guide customers through the redemption process and address any issues they may encounter. By offering tailored error messages, businesses not only enhance the overall customer experience but also reduce customer service contact rates for malfunctioning coupons. 

Talon.One’s new feature allows you to tailor personalized messages when a customer fails to redeem a promotion - for example when they go over the spend threshold. To activate customized error messages in Talon.One, simply take the following steps:

For customers who work hard to stay in a certain loyalty tier, being downgraded without warning can have a big impact on their user experience. Keeping customers in the loop about any changes in their tier status helps keep communication transparent while making them feel valued and appreciated.

With advanced tier change notifications, Talon.One clients can now proactively engage and communicate with users. Whether it's a loyalty tier upgrade, downgrade, or upcoming changes in tier levels, this feature helps build a smoother and more satisfying user experience.

Discounted bundles are a popular and effective promotional strategy for retailers, helping to shift excess inventory while simultaneously offering enhanced value for customers. But implementing discounts across all items in a bundle poses significant challenges, potentially impacting profit margins or diminishing the perceived value of its brand.

With Talon.One’s “discount-specific items in a bundle” feature, you have the flexibility to apply discounting on individual items in a bundle. The discount value is automatically assigned to the chosen item(s) in the bundle.
