Linkable Networks Teams Up with Ohana to Deliver Card-Linked Savings


BOSTON --(Business Wire)--

Linkable Networks, the card-linked offers-based shopper marketing and loyalty platform, today announced a partnership with Ohana Companies, a rebates and promotional marketing platform for retailers and manufacturers, and Rebates.com, a shopping service that helps consumers save cash, to streamline the clunky mail-in rebate model by allowing consumers to link rebates, deals, and other loyalty incentives to their credit or debit card.

"This partnership extends our reach, benefitting more customers and retailers" said Mark Roszkowski, SVP Corporate & Business Development at Linkable Networks. "We are thrilled to continue to expand the card-linked space with Ohana and Rebates.com." Through the partnership, Ohana's retail and manufacturing clients can include card-linked offers as part of their incentive marketing portfolio. By coupling Linkable Networks' back-end solution to Ohana's next-generation incentive processing services, shoppers now have the customer-friendly option of seamlessly transferring rebates, coupons, loyalty points, and other incentives directly to their credit or debit card without additional steps.

"Retailers and manufacturers use Ohana's Return of Customer Spend (ROCS™) platform to turn rebates into powerful marketing tools. Our ROCS™ Platform provides a modern-day customer experience that shoppers love, and leverages the attention and data shoppers provide to drive additional sales and increased customer loyalty for our clients," said Eric Rubino, President and COO at Ohana. "By partnering with Linkable Networks, shoppers can redeem rebates and deals directly back to their card of choice, and we can present shoppers meaningful follow-on offers that increase sales and loyalty for our retail and manufacturer clients. Increased convenience and better deals for shoppers, simplified operations and increased profits for our clients - everybody wins!"

In addition, Rebates.com, an online shopping service that provides some of the best deals on the Internet and makes it dead-simple to save money shopping, has integrated Linkable Network's card-linked offers to further improve its consumer-facing offerings. Rebates.com will promote rebate and savings offers that credit savings directly back to a shopper's card of choice. The partnership also means that Rebates.com is now part of The Linkable Network (TLN), which is comprised of shopper marketing content publishers, mobile shopping applications and banks and reaches more than 100 millionvisitors.



"Rebates.com prides itself on making it as easy as possible for you to save cash shopping, providing the best discounts, coupons and deals. By joining TLN, we are now able to offer more deals to more people and we're able to provide them with a simple redemption solution that they can use online, via their mobile device, or in store," explained Peter Albers, President at Rebates.com.

Linkable Networks advances the card linked offer shopper marketing and loyalty category through its ability to generate relevant offers at the stock keeping unit (SKU) or product level, bridging the gap between traditional coupon clipping and modern day technology. This relationship marks a change in how consumers can save and gives merchants the ability to drive traffic, increase basket size and achieve 100% attribution from online or traditional media to in-store and or online purchase.
