Someone recently asked me how they should try to reach #GenZ and #millennials on their customer journey. But that’s an old way of looking at it – we explain in a new blog why personalization is the future. https://t.co/EjgMxOsO3h

Instead of tweaking fuel sign prices to maximize profit, we have another idea: think like your customers. https://t.co/n3uoNP0lk2

“A rising tide lifts all boats” is true for retailers on Upside. As we add new business categories to the platform, we see a 90%+ increase in app usage and 60%+ increase in transactions in that area. https://t.co/WWF04C09Th
