Background

Habit is a leading American burger chain known for its high-quality, grilled-to-order burgers and commitment to fresh ingredients. With locations across the country, Habit aims to deliver a unique dining experience while engaging customers through a robust loyalty program that rewards frequent diners with exclusive offers and promotions.

Challenges

Habit sought to enhance it’s loyalty membership program by increasing signups through innovative referral methods. Traditional marketing strategies had plateaued, necessitating a fresh approach to effectively engage existing customers and attract new ones.

Solution

Blings implemented its MP5 technology to enhance Habit’s existing loyalty and leverage it for a new member acquisition campaign. This solution involved creating an interactive and personalized video template that encouraged customers to share Habit’s special offering with friends and family that got their own personalized videos. 

The video generated an experience of a high quality personalized invitation – it included the recipient’s name and the incentives in a fun,  compelling and highly engaging visual narrative, per the brand language. Additionally, both the sender and new recipients could easily redeem their exclusive rewards, ensuring a seamless and rewarding referral experience.
