“We’re so pleased to join forces with Hanifin Loyalty. We’ve had the pleasure of working together in the past, and with great success. It’s rare to find another firm so strategically aligned and so committed to customer success no matter what it takes." - Lesley Saitta, CEO
Lexington, KY (PRWEB) October 16, 2017
Impact 21, a global retail consulting, analytics, and services company, announced its merger with Hanifin Loyalty a global customer growth agency specializing in customer engagement, loyalty and payments across multiple industries. The merger expands the expertise, analytics and solutions for customer engagement and loyalty at Impact 21 and provides greater infrastructure and business development for Hanifin Loyalty.
Impact 21, established in 1998, is focused on end-to-end business and technology services and solutions for the petroleum/convenience, specialty retailing, foodservice, and CPG industries. Hanifin Loyalty delivers consulting, analytics, and related services in the areas of loyalty marketing, payment systems and marketing technology.
Lesley Saitta, Impact 21’s CEO said, “We’re so pleased to join forces with Hanifin Loyalty. We’ve had the pleasure of working together in the past, and with great success. It’s rare to find another firm so strategically aligned and so committed to customer success no matter what it takes. We’re thrilled the Hanifin team will become part of Impact 21 and are confident our clients will see immediate value in this merger.”
The Impact 21 and Hanifin Loyalty merger will help retail and c-store chains improve their customer engagement efforts. Many retailers struggle because they are data rich but insight poor—they are unsure how to maximize profit from their data. Others may be insight rich but have an ineffective platform to benefit from those insights. The combined expertise and tools of Impact 21 and Hanifin Loyalty create a robust solution to bring data and platform together, resulting in highly satisfied customer experiences.
Hanifin Loyalty clients, in the varied vertical industries they serve, will benefit from a more efficient delivery model, powered by Impact 21’s infrastructure, which includes:
- End-to-end business and technology solutions and services for retailers
- Customer portal for program and project visibility and collaboration
- Full project management capabilities from vision casting to granular tasks
- Analytics infrastructure and expertise
Hanifin Loyalty Founder and CEO Bill Hanifin shared, “What an honor to bring Hanifin Loyalty clients to Impact 21 as well as help Impact 21 further expand its practice in customer engagement and loyalty. There’s not a more trustworthy organization who will deliver the greatest service to our clients, and ultimately, deliver improved business results. Hanifin Loyalty has dedicated the past 20 years to data-driven loyalty marketing. Impact 21 has dedicated the past 20 years to data-driven solutions and services across all facets of business and technology in retail. This is clearly a perfect fit for Hanifin Loyalty.”
