Why Moneris®?

Moneris has held a long-standing partnership with Simons for over 20 years by providing in-store and eCommerce payment solutions. When Moneris Data Services approached Simons with the opportunity and information to leverage their relationship further from a data perspective, they were keen to learn more about what insights Moneris had to offer.  

“Moneris had the information we needed to bridge our ecommerce and instore customers. Through data, we can learn who is purchasing on both channels, how they’re making purchases, and at what frequency. The data can also teach us about new and recurring customers, and what we can do to better serve them,” said Yannick Vial, Senior Vice President eCommerce, digital and marketing at Simons.

Yannick and the Simons team wanted to leverage Moneris’ consumer spending data to help gain more insights that would inform their future business and marketing strategies. They wanted to understand what campaigns attracted new customers, if customers were shopping in-store or online and, for recurring customers, what made them want to keep coming back.

Moneris utilized ‘new and repeat’ analytics with consumer spending data in their analysis. Together with data from Moneris, the Simons team gained a holistic view of their customer loyalty program, and learned more about the behaviours of new, repeat, and existing customers.
