Inhoudsopgave

Founded in 1992 and headquartered in London, Kantar has approximately 30,000 employees across over 90 countries and has emerged as one of the biggest market research firms globally. 

The company was looking for a survey rewards platform that could automate reward procurement and distribution for its panelists – a task that was manual, time-consuming, and caused significant operational and logistic challenges for the company. 

Another problem they faced was that they lacked analytics on how their respondents redeemed their rewards. 

The Solution: Branded reward marketplace for Kantar to send e-gifts on survey completion

Xoxoday provided a Storefront for Kantar to integrate their reward catalog and send e-gift cards and vouchers upon study completion. Kantar also utilized Xoxoday's robust APIs to distribute rewards en masse. 

With the implementation of the reward marketplace which took just 72 hours – survey respondents could browse, select, and purchase gift vouchers from Xoxoday’s vast reward catalog containing 10 million+ rewards in 55+ countries.

Reward admins could also access detailed reporting and analytics on reward redemption patterns - available on a single intuitive dashboard.
