GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Spartan Stores here has implemented a targeted shopper promotion system, from Incentive Targeting, Cambridge, Mass., in select stores.

The Web-based application enables real-time segmentation of shoppers based on their buying preferences while protecting shopper privacy. It also analyzes sales and shopper data, and measures promotion results and ROI daily. Retailers are able to collaborate with brands by sharing anonymous customer-centric sales data.

“Our shoppers have embraced our 'yes Rewards' program as an exciting and important part of shopping in two of Spartan’s retail supermarket chains, Glen’s Markets and VG’s Food and Pharmacy, since its launch last year,” said Alan Hartline, executive vice president of merchandising and marketing at Spartan Stores, in a statement. “Incentive Targeting has been a critical ingredient of this success, enabling our company and our brand partners to engage our shoppers with more relevant, high-value personalized offers.”
