VANCOUVER, B.C., July 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fobi AI Inc. (FOBI: TSXV FOBIF: OTCQB) (the “Company” or “FOBI”), a leader in providing digital loyalty and membership solutions, today announced the launch of Digital Loyalty and Member cards for the highly regulated cannabis industry.

EGGS CANNA ONE OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE AND FORWARD-THINKING CANNABIS RETAILERS IN BC
Eggs Canna, founded in 2014, is one of the oldest and more forward-thinking cannabis retailers in BC, which makes them the perfect partner for Fobi’s Wallet pass based membership and loyalty program. They currently serve 2 regions, have 3 retail shops, and have plans to expand their retail footprint.
Eggs Canna is excited about providing a digital loyalty and membership platform that is truly powered by real-time data. Fobi’s marketing functionality will now enable Egg Canna the ability to message directly to their retail customer base via the lock screen on their mobile phones. This ability will be used to highlight upcoming events, featured products / brands, educational messaging, promotions, price reductions and other relevant information.
Craig Lust, Director of Operations & Brand Leader at Eggs Canna, stated, “Choosing the Fobi Digital loyalty and membership program was a no brainer. Improving the customer experience is always a priority for us, and then being able to improve our marketing through better targeting and segmentation and ultimately to be able to measure attribution and quantify increases to the customer lifetime value make this a truly unique solution in the marketplace. We are extremely excited about this project and the impact it will have on our business.”
The power and benefit of Fobi’s integration to the Barnet POS, now enables retailers like Eggs Canna to push out personalized and targeted promotions based on past purchase behaviour, notify customers about inventory levels such as when their favorite strain is back in stock, and measure the overall performance of their marketing activations.
Eggs Canna customers’ digital member cards are pulled up automatically to their lock screen using geo-fencing when they get near an Eggs Canna shop, the retail clerk simply scans the Wallet pass at the till to register their purchase, and any points or promotions received are automatically updated on the digital member card.
The Fobi Loyalty and AI shopper intelligence platform known as the “Hub” will now enable retailers to provide a dynamic and personalized shopper experience which will help retailers understand shoppers at a one-to-one level.
The Fobi digital loyalty and membership solution will also make it easier for retailers to conform to the stringent rules and regulations that have been put in place around the marketing and promotion of cannabis products in British Columbia.
Eggs Canna will launch Fobi’s digital member card and loyalty solution as it will help Eggs Canna accomplish their goal of providing an enhanced shopper experience by delivering a seamless and dynamic personalized shopping experience while ensuring that all of their communications and engagement are compliant.
