Caribou Coffee Gives Its Engagement Strategy a Jolt with Airship

Caribou Coffee fuels its guests’ #stayawakeforit moments. The company’s mobile app keeps them connected with their favorite coffee spots, serving up a convenient way to order ahead, pay through mobile wallet, check in with Caribou Perks and redeem loyalty points for free drinks, snacks or size upgrades. As Caribou continued to attract new fans in international markets, the company focused on improving the user experience and ramping up app engagement.

Challenge

With an exciting new app to fuel its loyalty program, Caribou Coffee wanted a way to drive real-time engagement with on-the-go coffee lovers. Airship gives the coffee chain an easy way to announce new product launches, increase app stickiness and get insights into campaign performance — all while bringing more traffic into its stores.

Caribou Coffee is one of the largest coffeehouse chain operators in the world — with nearly 800 company-owned and franchised locations in 13 countries.

Today, 59% of Caribou Coffee’s ~575K app users opt in to push notifications — and, on average, the company sees a 127% increase in daily active users after sending a push.
