There’s no question about it: no one likes spam. After all, there’s a reason email inboxes have dedicated spam folders and entire companies exist solely to combat the pesky messages from cluttering up the primary inbox.
As well as these technologies work, every now and then, emails from reputable companies end up in the spam folder. Just consider how often automated messages include the instruction to check the spam folder if an email hasn’t arrived in five minutes.

The Paytronix Convenient Connections Summer Series is a five-part blog that explores successful loyalty campaigns that convenience stores can use to drive user engagement, win back customers, successfully segment customer groups, and ultimately drive incremental revenue. Look for the Summer Series throughout the months of August and September.
A successful loyalty program has been proven to be the ultimate tool for the wise marketer. Loyalty programs drive customer engagement and spend, build and strengthen the relationships between the brand and the consumer, and provide invaluable insight into customers’ behaviors and preferences.
A truly effective loyalty program must be cultivated and monitored, with regular tweaks and upgrades. This includes choosing the right campaign for the desired outcome, whether that’s winning back a lapsed customer or engaging a new loyalty member.

Recent events have brought systemic racism into clear focus. As a step forward, we are following the lead of many great companies, like Nike, Twitter, Target, Ben & Jerry’s, and a growing list of others by adding a company holiday dedicated to Black equality, beginning with this Friday, June 19th (Juneteenth).
Here at Paytronix, we employ bright, curious, and empathetic people, many of whom are engaged directly in the fight against racism. Members of our team have been involved in the Black Lives Matter movement, including taking part in marches and protests. Our hope is that we can use this Juneteenth holiday time to read, reflect, and help as we look to change our society for the better.
We have shared books, documentaries, and podcasts, with one another over the course of the last two weeks and thought you might enjoy them as well. Here are links to a few items that may inspire all of us to be part of the solution.
