Card-linked offers (CLOs) are marketing offers that are intelligently targeted to consumers based on credit card/debit card or loyalty card transactions. Often linked to electronic wallets or e-payments, they represent an alternative to advertising, and are potentially revolutionary.
To assess the current state of the card-linked offer industry, BIA/Kelsey partnered with The CardLinx Association to conduct a survey with leaders of the CLO ecosystem, including key publishers, card-linked technology providers, payment processors, payment networks and merchants/advertisers. The results of the survey are detailed in the new report, Status and Review of Card-Linked Offers, 2015.
Since their introduction in 2008, some of the original scenarios for CLOs have changed and business models have shifted. The jury is still out on their long-term success. But the industry seems poised to make an impact.
