If you’re a merchant, have you ever wondered what advertisement led a customer into your store or restaurant? Are your Facebook ads, Twitter ads, Google ads, banner ads, or email campaigns working? If so, which ones? Who are your customers? If you’re a consumer, have you ever been frustrated with carrying around loyalty cards and coupons, and an endless barrage of requests to sign up for more? Yub solves both of these problems. Our technology allows us to track any online “click” to any in-store purchase, all using standard credit/debit cards with no change in merchant or consumer behavior.
