The Challenges

Expanding offerings globally

Lulu Hypermarket was keen to expand their offerings and increase repeat purchases. The group was keen on launching a gift card program to achieve higher sales and build a loyal customer base.

However, considering its global presence, the challenge was to launch a program that caters across geographical locations with multi-currency redemption capabilities.

The Solution

In 2009, Lulu embarked on its transformative journey with Qwikcilver by Pinelabs to launch a comprehensive, multi-currency, multi-country gift card.

The gift card solution was designed to cater to Lulu’s omnichannel presence across 7 countries, ensuring that each gift card was issued in the local currency of the country.
Lulu also integrated with Qwikcilver’s APIs to power multiple use-cases such as:
Refund Management
Lulu issues refund card in the form of store credit with easy access at the time of redemption.This ensures that the money stays within the system and encourages repurchases.
Store Promotion Cards
Lulu issues store promotion cards to customers during billing, which can be redeemed on their next purchase. This aims to increase customer loyalty.
Customised Programs
Lulu provides customized gift cards for its clients (corporate and charity programs) to meet specific business requirements.
Reseller Channel
Lulu’s resellers can issue Lulu’s gift cards through their channels, expanding the reach of the gift card program and driving sales.
