Empyr and Vendasta Announce Partnership to Bring Online-to-Offline Marketing to Local Businesses
SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) June 13, 2017 -- Empyr, the fast-growing online-to-offline (O2O) commerce and marketing platform, and Vendasta, the leading platform for selling digital solutions to local businesses, have partnered to bring Empyr’s CPR™ (cost-per-revenue) performance marketing to the 2,000+ agencies and media companies that serve millions of local businesses on the Vendasta platform.
CPR enables local businesses and national brands to advertise online and only pay a fee for in-store sales. Local businesses and brands are marketed across Empyr’s growing network of 1,500+ websites and apps. CPR uses the power of card-linked technology to track real-time debit and credit card transactions without any POS integration or staff involvement.
“We are excited to be partnering with Empyr, a company that is at the forefront of online-to-offline marketing innovation,” said Brendan King, CEO, Vendasta. “Its CPR platform opens up new revenue streams for our agency and media company partners and enables local businesses to track a customer from an online ad to an in-store sale. By adding CPR to our Marketplace, agencies can continue to diversify their product offering—a key advantage since the needs of local businesses are evolving every day. Since Empyr’s CPR platform tackles one of the biggest challenges out there—attribution—it's a great addition to our collection of curated products and services."
“Vendasta is the leading platform for selling digital solutions to local businesses, which makes them an ideal partner to help us expand upon the thousands of local businesses already benefiting from Empyr,” said Jon Carder, CEO and Co-Founder, Empyr. “Together we’ll bring CPR to the forefront of digital advertising for all types of local businesses, from restaurants to retail stores.”
