Give more shoppers a reason to visit your stores.

Promote a compelling game or offer to relevant audiences, direct them to participating locations and use a completed purchase to prove the campaign generated more than attention.

For physical retailers and retail groups looking to turn targeted promotion into measurable store purchases.

Retail promotion journey from an in-store offer and game to a store visit, qualifying purchase and verified receipt

The commercial problem

You can spend heavily generating awareness without knowing whether the campaign brought paying customers through the door.

Reach, impressions and clicks may indicate interest. They do not prove that someone visited a store and bought.

BeeLiked and RunnyHoney can create a more accountable journey. The shopper receives a rewarding reason to choose you, while a qualifying paper receipt can verify that the promotion ended in a completed purchase.

From promotion to purchase

You can use games and offers to make a store visit worth acting on.

For example:

  • Visit a participating store and spend £25 to unlock a game.
  • Buy from a selected category in store to receive a reward experience.
  • Unlock a private offer with HoneyCoins, then use a unique code in store.
  • Take part in a location-specific promotion during a quieter trading period.

The campaign should make the action clear before the visit. Where receipt verification is used, the customer then shops and pays normally before submitting the paper receipt through RunnyHoney.

RunnyHoney can recognize available receipt details such as you, store or location, purchase date, transaction value and identifiable products. If the purchase meets the campaign rules, the relevant experience unlocks.

How it works

Retail campaign criteria represented by a store, location, calendar and qualifying purchase

1. Define the store visit you want to generate

Choose the participating locations, campaign period, qualifying spend, products or other reliably identifiable purchase criteria.

Six-stage reward journey from promotion to an in-store purchase

2. Create a reason to visit

Use a branded game, private offer, prize opportunity or other reward experience that is strong enough to prompt action.

Relevant shopper audience selected for a targeted retail reward

3. Reach the intended audience

Promote the campaign through your own channels or use RunnyHoney to reach shoppers whose shared purchase activity suggests relevant interests.

4. Direct the shopper to store

Make the participating locations, timing and qualifying purchase clear.

5. The customer visits and buys

The shopper completes and pays for the qualifying transaction through your normal checkout.

Receipt purchase criteria checked and verified against campaign rules

6. The purchase is verified

Where receipt verification is part of the journey, the customer submits the paper receipt through the RunnyHoney web or downloaded app.

Receipt capture and validation connected to a measurable commercial result

7. Measure the commercial result

You use your own transaction and store data, together with available campaign participation data, to assess what happened.

A receipt proves a qualifying purchase, not footfall without a transaction. If you want to measure all store visits, including people who do not buy, you will need to use your own footfall measurement systems alongside the campaign.

Two routes to more store visits

Reach your own audience

Your promotion can be shared through in-store media, email, social channels, paid media, your website, app or your own RunnyHoney channel.

Through your own BeeLiked account, you control the experience, prizes and promotion design. Subject to the campaign design and consent choices, you can also collect permitted contact information, marketing opt-ins and zero-party data.

Reach relevant shoppers through RunnyHoney

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

These signals can help identify shoppers already buying relevant products or categories. RunnyHoney can present your game or offer to appropriate users and direct them toward participating stores.

You do not receive personal data from RunnyHoney Rewards participants. The experience can instead encourage them to follow your channel, unlock a unique offer and complete a trackable purchase.

What can create a reason to visit?

The campaign could be built around:

  • A private in-store offer
  • An instant-win or prize experience
  • A minimum in-store spend
  • A selected product or category purchase
  • A launch available at participating locations
  • A seasonal campaign
  • A quieter day or trading period
  • A location-specific reward
  • A unique code unlocked through the RunnyHoney store

The offer or reward must provide genuine value. A widely available public discount is less likely to give a shopper a distinctive reason to choose you.

Why this is more accountable than an awareness campaign

Traditional awareness activity often ends with an impression, click or direction request.

A purchase-linked campaign can continue to a stronger signal:

The shopper saw the experience.

The shopper chose to act.

The shopper visited a participating store.

The shopper completed a qualifying purchase.

The receipt provides evidence of that commercial action.

The promotion does not guarantee incremental footfall or a sale. It creates a measurable route from targeted exposure to a verified purchase.

What you can control

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

  • Participating stores or locations
  • Campaign dates and times
  • Minimum receipt value
  • Selected products or categories
  • Customer participation frequency
  • Maximum campaign volume
  • Game format, prizes and rewards in your own promotion
  • Offer availability, expiry and unique code rules

How to measure the result

Your own systems remain the source of truth for store traffic, transactions and revenue.

Useful measures may include:

Promotion views and game participation

Offers or unique codes unlocked

Qualifying receipts submitted

Completed purchases by participating location

Transaction value

Selected product or category sales

Codes redeemed

New customers identified through your own promotion

Store footfall from your own measurement systems

BeeLiked records the campaign activity available within the promotion. You combine this with your own commercial data to assess the result.

Common questions

01

Does BeeLiked measure every person who enters the store?

No. A qualifying receipt can verify that a customer visited and completed a purchase. Your own footfall systems are needed to measure visitors who do not transact.

02

Does the customer have to make a purchase?

For a receipt-verified campaign, yes. The customer completes and pays for the qualifying purchase before submitting the receipt.

03

Does receipt verification require a POS change?

Not necessarily. RunnyHoney can use your existing paper receipt where the required store and transaction information can be identified reliably.

04

Can RunnyHoney target people near a store?

Campaign targeting depends on the audience signals and location information available. The promotion can be limited to participating locations, but we should agree the precise targeting approach for each campaign.

05

Can RunnyHoney identify the store visited?

Where the store or location can be identified reliably from the receipt, it can form part of the qualifying rules.

06

Can you use unique offers?

Yes. You can provide unique, trackable codes with appropriate rules and expiry. Your own systems determine whether a code produced a completed transaction.

07

Can you collect customer data?

A promotion run through your own BeeLiked account can collect permitted contact information, marketing opt-ins and zero-party data according to its design and consent choices. Personal data from RunnyHoney Rewards participants is not passed to you.
