WHAT IS NIFT’S ECOSYTEM?

Drive traffic and get new customers

If you’re running a restaurant group today, you understand how drastically customer acquisition strategies have shifted throughout the years. You’ve probably tried everything from search engine optimization (SEO) to social media advertising to email marketing. But despite all of your efforts, your business is likely getting lost in the noise. Consumers have more options than ever, and competing for their attention is getting harder and harder.

Restaurant groups need an alternative acquisition channel to acquire new, life-long customers. And that’s where Nift comes in.

Nift has transformed how consumers discover and try restaurants by seamlessly integrating restaurant offers as ‘thank you’ gifts within a closed ecosystem of premium consumer apps. The key here is the concept of ‘thank-you gifts.’ As an alternative to ads, Nift’s personalized thank-you gifts are only given to high-value customers after completing an action — such as leaving a review on TripAdvisor, paying for parking via ParkMobile, or registering for a yoga class via Mindbody. Nift’s proprietary AI selects individualized gifts ensuring that restaurant gifts are only available to the right local customers actively seeking new dining experiences.

What is Nift?

Nift is a unique, closed ecosystem of real consumers, so you don’t have to worry about bots or false impressions. Our consumers actively discover new brands and our partners share in the profit of that discovery. That means there are a lot of moving parts and pieces within our model. 

Nift for Partnerships

Apps like Tripadvisor, Afterpay, Mindbody, and Tinder partner with Nift to delight users with unexpected offers from partner restaurants after they complete an action, such as leaving a review, making a payment, or upgrading their membership. By saying thank you through high-value gifts without incremental costs, consumers have more positive experiences, and our partners generate additional revenue.

Nift for Restaurant Groups

Multi-unit restaurants like World of Beer Bar & Kitchen, Hart House, Dig, and Fatburger use Nift to drive traffic. By starting the conversation with a unique ‘thank you’ gift, restaurants convert more new customers into regulars and build their consumer database.

Nift for Consumers

With Nift, consumers find new restaurants that align with their interests and preferences through a one-of-a-kind incentive. All ‘thank you’ gifts are 100% unique to the Nift platform; they are not promo codes that are searchable and available to everyone.
