with is comes Your next line Lynch. from America/Merrill question Schindler Nat, the Bank Nat line of open. your of

Nat Schindler

Yes.

to that least this already were assume, that they Just follow-up bit looking on own cost assume calculating at a is when calculations redemptions were get how at, coupon ROI-based little into pricing looking in ROI-based and their actually I actually hands someone’s were used. that doing a always I CBGs it the much at of pricing, for was they them

it there certainty significant would redemption printed higher and would true between is case? printed would why is a of rates this the on something higher change difference I that paperless, type redemption has So, been not assume intent the Also, really that much there just – there economics change any it or model effectively else rate. been home a home Is the be that the Is and new that really it always a to much? has is any retailers? is or the per action cost

Mir Aamir

many bit said right. ago good had a and around nicely, rates which were, but can redemption that paperless part years. earlier mention quarters print will address print, rates than one first time and is then that’s the here, your on for are question are that I but thing, on growing redemption – chime that will of has so about I in because me the at talk several Steven lower growing paperless Let a been And then we and

redemption and time. it print over started, it when lower fact, grew rates In had

and makes great, but sense forecast the always it of So, for which have we ROI-based math question And Well, is, after pricing doing which been the to backwards, part is why life, that clients. lot said is factory. yes, been didn’t a that, is earlier have us also they for just coming our doing it your CPGs that of – had of the answer me let supportive budgeting as the the directly can fee and at which to help them you it to they like ties an the that certain it forecast. amount the and this it discount just altogether. and us This by more does. give outcome, makes to to they much helps always-on something. said it put manage give And add they consumers it together you have and Steven, want budget strategy

StevenBoal

Yes, I just want to certainty. punctuate the point on

you So transaction what similar just it’s know model, e-commerce you like per and it in where an on allowable is here. have very a basis, got

publishers. So, to certainty as model the important network and the CPGs think to flow the think us yield, yields that’s buyer. through about us across our of we allow yields on to focus about really allows our and all and and network because to way This

quarter past Now, for at several we really and clearly, over step about up quarters the several results have the experimented by we we this very, talking by this very quarter been were volume impressive. step quarters have ramping and it the step where and is been high

is going and the the publishers, the around the an around benefit certainty their always-on retailers through think way so And all I strategy and CPGs to ecosystem, the from merchandising the budgets. everybody

Nat Schindler

It’s from kind of advertiser Mir, the CPA and has versus the industries. the one of CPG across the reasons dominated Steven risk most models of on balance network. the why really

with really we gallon take this you with or get $X.XX. could – say model ROI-based value just won’t or pricing that either. it’s low, say infinite you a it’s going and clicked the comically not pass where So, are would Would it, transaction and Tide, consumers we at worth it, really not inventory not coupon you you savings take get if on – and to say be if do it but Tide the are you it’s buy from to on just this is any to this again even you you, a would under puts you have going anything a would a you out

Mir Aamir

Yes.

any generally one specific being one brand, client about without So or speaking…

Nat Schindler

That sorry. was example

Mir Aamir

the and per this the when at not system are that, in clients all ROI should on And assume across brands just same revenue same, rate nobody estimates or now across we would we Not example the all such same. that across per assume our are is redemption talk brands particular we not but not call or company. and that so be should optimize the about scale that delivery, the platform

So, offer to reject like platform an question your the is the answer would that.

Nat Schindler

into being just of doing where seen why freight dominant easier you it the to it haven’t Okay. be separate call question pricing more to have who more last that obviously hands that biggest is falling paying as the On a it on volume-based back customer? gone more get if of full you or the are the style going customers call old digital, from small X that’s are all digital $X.XX in the as it’s to even years, to pricing $X.XXX assuming less your pricing, customers would

give two put you isn’t in said pieces to those any by the color to the are which will what I right, price seeing that this of more customers. information last is are we result to seeing. the We we quarter. effect of of This similar reductions

a is per In transaction quite XXXX flat. three mix this our take bit, you has last their XX whose increased at but year and top CPGs revenue quarter if fact essentially XXXX three quarter year if you look

now because so This already have there in pricing. volume-based ROI-based growing on they benefited much should, that are are already imagine that’s volume more. pricing ROI growing brands of They pricing now as is can you many from getting they but of better So, because and the ROI-based those pricing. of

the catching historically lot up, behind them other did are bit Now, and a are of FSI. they but never CPGs

represents promotions if to of at promotions percent the decline business, our revenue of non-CPG revenue that’s specialty retail and specifically this the X% and point. you revenue, on right purpose, So I that’s at than that about less now, our talked continues look which

promotions growth revenue CPG the XX%. north is of so And

the vast of see the same the the growth And promotions and another quarter revenue align CPG two is will probably revenue promotions or with revenue quarters, of grows the promotions will that in transaction so lines to two, you start along growing. the revenue majority

north XX%. of it’s So, now

a question. good it’s So,

Mir Aamir

the declines revenue the on effect on first about, transaction Ralph, was a of was redemption promo primarily that revenues/specially talked basis. one, and the because your revenue per their bit transactions other calculated it we a mix And are declining

of coupons sort great actually of CPGs. some and grown those That their through accentuated happened on September, large pricing a ROI-based a was is decline the through the volumes on brands mathematical a right, of by mix lot in the has there but this, and the including and but their So, only of then mix continued the brands had volume impact largest primary way, pricing ROI-based September. the revenues the larger so great a continue in of CPGs what was because we much had had could August back-to-school the by volumes impact revenue we delivery that brands,

accentuated that last the towards shift quarter. part mix this quarter, of effect this So, part the especially

Ralph Schackart

I saw impact factors sort of materially. first we if year driving move occurred this sort also remember the sort this quarter quarter? of the just of QX that different of in last the could, last time more metric is there metrics in there down One also time occurred a Was also seasonal I some was or third that

Mir Aamir

spend. good a that it we about similarity something it’s because accentuated talking that CPGs you I only year, had sense in is in There is similar of last also to the like how big recall that which This so now budget bit year if back-to-school the September, was happened.

Steven Boal

Yes.

pretty high like scale lot see just growth per the question, original volume something at volume because revenue transaction like and me to step would growth rate the rather growth I effect. growth, look and mix and the promotions fueled transaction of you back transaction Let add, it’s at is of significant depression if look volume you growth imputed and if things inline versus a back transaction your by back-to-school. that revenue But the

So, giving just first promotions the for which the along transaction objective time, here transaction in growth. revenue did we growth the north volumes the with saw growth of clearly And you the actually QX. that And revenue XX%. CPG the volume revenue you is and have is grow knowledge then

the place. are those alignment two You things starting see to take of

Ralph Schackart
