Give shoppers a rewarding reason to buy your featured product.

Give shoppers a rewarding reason to choose a specific product, then use their completed store receipt to verify the purchase before the branded experience unlocks.

For retailers looking to create measurable product promotions with their suppliers, without changing the pack, POS or standard receipt.

A new retail promotion opportunity

You already offer suppliers valuable promotional space across stores, websites, apps and social channels.

BeeLiked and RunnyHoney add another arrow to your quiver: a purchase-required promotion built around a specific product.

You and your supplier agree the featured product, campaign and reward. You promote it to shoppers. RunnyHoney handles receipt submission, product recognition and the qualifying reward journey.

This can create a new supplier-funded promotional opportunity for you while giving the supplier a measurable way to encourage verified product sales.

The commercial trigger is the product purchase

The campaign starts with one clear action:

Buy this product and unlock this experience.

The customer sees the promotion before purchase through in-store signage, shelf messaging, social media, email or your other communications.

They then shop and pay normally.

Afterward, the customer submits the paper receipt through the RunnyHoney web or downloaded app. Where the featured product can be recognized reliably, the branded game or reward experience becomes available.

The experience does not discount the transaction that has already taken place. You and your supplier decide the prizes, future offers or other rewards attached to the promotion.

8. Measure the product sales outcome

You and your supplier use your own sales data, together with available campaign participation data, to assess performance.

The technical journey is managed through BeeLiked and RunnyHoney. Your essential role is to make the promotion visible and compelling at the point where customers decide what to buy.

Two ways to deliver the campaign

Supplier-backed featured-product promotion handed over in a retail store

Your own RunnyHoney channel

You can run the promotion through your own BeeLiked account and dedicated RunnyHoney channel.

It controls the branded experience, instant wins, sweepstakes, prizes, offers or virtual currency. Subject to the campaign design and consent choices, you can also collect permitted contact information, marketing opt-ins and zero-party data.

You and your supplier promote the campaign through in-store signage and your own marketing channels.

RunnyHoney Rewards

The product promotion can also run through the wider RunnyHoney Rewards channel, where qualifying games award HoneyCoins.

RunnyHoney can make relevant users aware of the promotion using the interests and purchase signals they have chosen to share.

These broader signals may suggest that a shopper buys within a relevant category. They help identify a suitable audience, while the qualifying campaign action remains the verified purchase of the specific featured product.

Personal data from RunnyHoney Rewards participants is not passed to you or your supplier.

A campaign may use either route according to its audience, commercial model and data requirements.

Why the in-store signposting matters

Receipt recognition verifies the purchase after it happens. It does not influence the buying decision unless shoppers know about the opportunity beforehand.

The strongest campaign connects:

  • Clear in-store signage
  • Shelf or product messaging
  • Staff or till awareness where appropriate
  • Retailer social and digital promotion
  • A reward worth acting on
  • Simple receipt submission through RunnyHoney
  • A branded experience that reinforces the featured product

BeeLiked and RunnyHoney handle the technical campaign journey. You and your supplier make the commercial proposition visible.

What the promotion can support

A product-specific campaign could help:

  • Launch a new product
  • Generate trial
  • Support a seasonal product
  • Increase sales of a priority line
  • Promote an exclusive retailer product
  • Support a supplier-funded campaign
  • Reinforce a product’s benefits after purchase
  • Reward purchases across selected stores or regions
  • Test different reward propositions
  • Connect in-store promotion to verified purchases

The qualifying product must be identifiable reliably from the receipt information available.

Why this is more measurable than product awareness alone

An impression shows that someone may have seen the promotion.

A click shows that someone expressed interest.

A qualifying receipt shows that the featured product was purchased.

You and your supplier can evaluate:

The promotion presented.

The experience claimed.

The qualifying product found on the receipt.

The campaign participation generated.

The featured-product sales recorded in your own systems.

This does not prove that every purchase was incremental. It creates a stronger connection between the promotion and the commercial action than awareness metrics alone.

Calendar, receipt and campaign materials used to plan a product promotion

What you and your supplier can control

Depending on the campaign and receipt information available, they may define:

  • The featured product or recognized product description
  • Participating stores or locations
  • Campaign dates
  • Number of qualifying products required
  • Minimum total spend alongside the product purchase
  • Customer participation frequency
  • Maximum campaign volume
  • Game format, prizes and rewards in your own promotion
  • Future offers or incentives
  • Promotion creative and in-store signposting

How to measure the result

Your sales and transaction systems remain the source of truth for commercial performance.

Useful measures may include:

Units of the featured product sold

Sales value of the featured product

Qualifying receipts submitted

Performance by store or region

Campaign participation

Reward claims

New contacts and opt-ins from your own BeeLiked promotion

Sales during the campaign compared with an appropriate previous period or control

BeeLiked records qualifying campaign activity and participation available within the promotion. You and your supplier use your own sales data to assess the product-sales result.

Common questions

01

Does the customer have to buy the product?

Yes. For a receipt-triggered product promotion, the customer completes and pays for the purchase first. The experience unlocks only after the featured product is recognized on the submitted receipt.

02

Does this require a pack change?

No, provided the product can be identified reliably from the existing receipt. The campaign is promoted around the product without requiring an on-pack code.

03

Do you need to change its POS?

Not necessarily. The customer can submit your existing paper receipt through RunnyHoney.

04

Who promotes the campaign?

You and your supplier should agree the promotional plan. In-store signage is particularly important because customers need to know about the opportunity before choosing the product.

05

Who provides the prizes?

That depends on the commercial arrangement. Your own BeeLiked promotion allows you and your supplier to define the game, prizes, instant wins, sweepstakes and offers.

06

Can the campaign reach RunnyHoney users?

Yes. A campaign delivered through RunnyHoney Rewards can be promoted to relevant users using available interests and purchase signals they have chosen to share.

07

Does category information trigger the reward?

The main qualifying trigger is the specific featured product recognized on the submitted receipt. Broader category signals may help RunnyHoney identify a relevant audience before the purchase.

08

Do you receive RunnyHoney user data?

Personal data from RunnyHoney Rewards participants is not passed to you or your supplier. Your promotion can collect permitted contact information, marketing opt-ins and zero-party data according to its design and consent choices.

09

Can you charge suppliers for this promotional opportunity?

The commercial arrangement is for you and your supplier to determine. The proposition gives you a technical and promotional capability you can include within your supplier marketing opportunities.
