Tactile Marketing Automation

Transform digital engagement into physical experiences with tactile marketing automation. While competitors rely solely on digital channels, innovative brands are leveraging the proven psychology of physical touchpoints to boost customer retention, brand recall, and lifetime value through automated tactile marketing campaigns.

Tactile Marketing Fact: Studies show that tactile marketing materials generate 70% higher brand recall and 2-3x better response rates than digital-only campaigns. Physical touchpoints activate multiple sensory pathways, creating deeper emotional connections with your brand.

What is Tactile Marketing Automation?

Tactile marketing combines the scalability of digital automation with the proven effectiveness of physical touchpoints.

Our tactile marketing platform enables you to:

  • Trigger Physical Rewards: Automatically send custom labels, loyalty cards, or product samples based on customer actions

  • Integrate Seamlessly: Our API connects with popular CRM and marketing automation platforms
