Nift Advertising for Restaurants: Transforming Customer Acquisition

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 who are actively seeking new dining experiences.
