How It Works

Tobacco loyalty Infographic-04
1
Promotions & Scanning

Display tobacco discounts in-store. When tobacco purchases are scanned at checkout, data is
being collected.

2
Automatic Reporting

A report is generated from the scan data, including the product description, regular sale price, and
discounts applied.

3
Automatic Submission

The scan data report is then submitted automatically to the tobacco vendor for review.

4
Receive Rebates

In exchange for the scan data report, the tobacco vendor disburses rebates back to you.
