Leanplum, the leading multi-channel customer engagement platform, today announced that Afterpay, an innovative digital platform that offers interest-free installment plans for online and instore (in Australia & New Zealand) purchases, is using its solution to improve engagement through data-driven personalization Martech News.
Afterpay allows customers to shop from the name brands they love and pay by making four interest-free payment installments every two weeks instead of one up-front lump sum. This fresh spin on purchasing inhibits credit debt; appealing strongly to Millennial and Gen Z consumers by giving them the freedom to purchase products they need, without the financial stress of an upfront lump sum Martech.
As Afterpay expanded from Australia into the global marketplace, user acquisition grew rapidly. In order to translate the expansion of the largely Millennial customer base into long-term revenue growth, having an optimized onboarding process and first-purchase customer journey was critical.

“As our user base continued to grow on an exponential basis, we sought a partner that could help us offer our customers a personalized user experience at scale with active and timely engagements,” said Frazer Adnam, CRM marketing director at Afterpay. “Leanplum gives us the ability to trigger communications at key moments in the customer journey, which helps optimize our user experience.”
