About 500friends
500friends' best-in-class loyalty marketing platform helps brands retain, engage, understand, and connect with their customers.
Summary
500friends enables CMOs to increase their customer lifetime value. We have more happy enterprise retail (top 1,000) customers than any other SaaS loyalty vendor. We were recently acquired by Merkle, a $400M (revenues), privately held CRM marketing agency backed by TCV (early investors in Exact Target, Facebook, and Netflix), but we are our own operating group.
