Reach relevant new shoppers and give them a reason to visit.

Use RunnyHoney to raise awareness among shoppers whose shared interests and purchase activity suggest relevance, then give them a valuable, trackable offer they can unlock before they buy.

For retailers looking to acquire new customers through relevant targeting, active reward participation and offers connected to measurable purchases.

The commercial problem

You can buy reach almost anywhere.

The harder challenge is reaching people who are relevant, giving them a strong enough reason to choose you and connecting that activity to a commercial result.

An impression does not show intent.

A video view does not guarantee a visit.

A click does not prove a purchase.

RunnyHoney creates a more active customer journey. Relevant users can discover you through interactive experiences or rewarded video placements, then choose to spend HoneyCoins to unlock a private offer.

Spending something they have earned is a stronger expression of interest than passively seeing an advert. It is still not a completed sale, so your unique code and transaction systems remain essential for measuring what happened next.

Your business comes first, not the reward currency

The customer-facing goal is simple:

  • Discover you that may be relevant.
  • See an offer worth considering.
  • Choose to unlock it.
  • Visit you and buy.

HoneyCoins are RunnyHoney’s way of rewarding users for participating in games and other experiences within the app.

They give users something to earn and spend, but they are not your proposition. You are buying a route to relevant shoppers and providing a compelling offer designed to turn interest into a purchase.

Participation comes first

You cannot simply place an offer in the HoneyCoin store and access the RunnyHoney audience.

It first participates in the reward economy by creating a branded game experience that distributes HoneyCoins.

The game may reward your existing customers after a qualifying purchase, or it may be promoted to relevant users through RunnyHoney Rewards.

As HoneyCoins are genuinely issued through participation, you build the associated capacity for RunnyHoney users to unlock your offer.

The detailed HoneyCoin economics sit behind the campaign. What matters commercially is the exchange:

  • You help reward shoppers across the network.
  • The network can then help you present your offer to relevant users.

How it works

Selected retail audience segment connected to shopping signals and locations

1. Define the target customer

Agree the interests, purchase behavior, location and other available audience signals that suggest relevance.

Customer contributing a branded reward token through an interactive experience

2. Create a branded game experience

You fund a RunnyHoney Rewards game that gives users the opportunity to earn HoneyCoins.

HoneyCoin rewards distributed from a central branded experience to participating audiences

3. Distribute the HoneyCoins

The game is promoted to your own participating customers, relevant RunnyHoney users or an agreed combination.

Private retail product bundle protected behind an exclusive offer

4. Contribute a compelling private offer

You provide an offer that gives users a genuine reason to choose your stores.

5. Raise awareness among relevant users

RunnyHoney can promote you through a targeted interactive experience or rewarded video placement.

6. The user spends HoneyCoins to unlock the offer

The active unlock indicates that the user considered the offer valuable enough to spend an earned balance.

7. You provide a unique code

Ideally, each offer uses a unique, single-use code supplied through your own systems.

8. The shopper visits and buys

You track code redemption and the resulting transaction through your own POS and sales systems.

9. A shared receipt can add another purchase signal

Where the shopper later submits the receipt through RunnyHoney, the completed purchase can contribute to their verified shopping history.

Two ways to raise awareness

Targeted interactive experiences

RunnyHoney can present your branded game or interactive experience to users whose available interests, shared receipt activity, location or other permitted signals suggest relevance.

The experience can introduce you, communicate the reason to visit and draw attention to the offer available in the HoneyCoin store.

Rewarded video placements

RunnyHoney can also show video advertising within the app and reward users with HoneyCoins for watching.

This gives you another way to tell your story while giving users a clear reason to pay attention.

A video view remains an awareness measure. The stronger commercial signals come later, when a user unlocks the offer, redeems the unique code and completes a purchase.

The offer must be worth unlocking

A generic public discount is unlikely to make you distinctive.

The HoneyCoin store should give users access to genuine value that is not already freely available on your website or voucher sites.

Examples could include:

  • Money off above a minimum spend
  • A strong percentage discount on a selected range
  • A gift with purchase
  • A complimentary product
  • A private bundle
  • A store-specific reward
  • A time-limited incentive
  • An offer available only through RunnyHoney

You fund and honors the offer.

RunnyHoney determines the HoneyCoin price required to unlock it and controls how it is presented within the store.

Better offers are more useful to users and give RunnyHoney a stronger reason to promote them.

Trackable codes connect interest to sales

You should supply unique codes through your own systems wherever possible.

A unique, single-use code can help:

  • Limit each user to one offer
  • Prevent uncontrolled code sharing
  • Apply minimum-spend or product rules
  • Set an expiry date
  • Attribute redemption to the RunnyHoney offer
  • Connect the campaign to your own transaction data

Unlocking a code is not the same as completing a purchase.

Your own POS and sales systems show whether the code was redeemed and what the customer bought.

Why verified shopper signals matter

RunnyHoney users choose to share purchase activity by submitting receipts and taking part in purchase-linked games.

Across multiple shared receipts, RunnyHoney can build a more useful picture of products, categories, retailers, spend, stores and locations relevant to participating shoppers.

These signals can help identify people who may be interested in your proposition.

The aim is broader than targeting named customers of a competitor. It is about reaching shoppers whose verified behavior indicates an interest in what you sell.

RunnyHoney does not see every purchase a user makes. Targeting is based only on information users have chosen to share and other permitted signals available to the campaign.

What you can control

Depending on the campaign and your systems, you may define:

  • The commercial audience objective
  • Participating stores or locations
  • The branded game experience
  • The HoneyCoin-funded campaign allocation
  • The private offer
  • Minimum-spend requirements
  • Selected products or ranges
  • Unique code rules
  • One unlock per user
  • Offer expiry
  • Maximum offer volume
  • Supporting creative and video
  • The transaction data used to assess redemption

How to measure the result

Useful campaign measures may include:

Interactive experience views and participation

Video views

HoneyCoins distributed through your game

Offer views

Unique offers unlocked

Codes issued

Codes redeemed

Transactions using the offer

RunnyHoney records participation and offer-unlock activity available within the network.

Your own POS, sales and customer systems remain the source of truth for redemption, purchases, revenue and new-customer status.

The campaign does not guarantee a completed sale. It creates a targeted and measurable route from awareness to active interest and potential purchase.

Common questions

01

Do you need to distribute HoneyCoins before users can unlock your offer?

Yes. You participate in the RunnyHoney reward economy by funding and distributing HoneyCoins through a branded game experience. Offer-unlock capacity becomes available as those rewards are genuinely issued.

02

Why does the user spend HoneyCoins to unlock the offer?

HoneyCoins give RunnyHoney users an earned balance to spend. Choosing to use that balance indicates more active interest than simply viewing an advert.

03

Can you list only an offer without running a game?

Not under this model. You must contribute to rewarding participation through a HoneyCoin game before benefiting from offer unlocks.

04

How can RunnyHoney raise awareness?

You can be promoted through targeted interactive experiences and rewarded video placements within RunnyHoney.

05

Can the campaign target relevant shoppers?

Yes, using available interests, shared purchase activity, location and other permitted signals. Targeting depends on the data users have chosen to share and the audience options available for the campaign.

06

Does unlocking an offer prove a sale?

No. It shows active interest. Your own systems determine whether the unique code was redeemed and a purchase completed.

07

Who supplies the codes?

You should supply unique, preferably single-use codes through your own ecommerce or POS systems.

08

Can each user be limited to one offer?

The offer and code journey should be designed to allow one unlock or redemption per user where required. Your code rules provide the transaction-level control.

09

Do you receive RunnyHoney user data?

Personal data from RunnyHoney Rewards participants is not passed to you. You receive the campaign and redemption information available through the agreed journey and use your own systems to recognize customers who transact with you.

10

Does RunnyHoney guarantee new customers?

No. RunnyHoney helps you reach relevant users and gives them a trackable reason to consider purchasing. Your offer, your proposition and the customer ultimately determine conversion.
