A generation of Americans grew up with them, Andy Warhol immortalized them in his art and consumers
redeemed more than $10 billion in rewards with them. S&H Green Stamps were all the rage and everywhere
you looked, America was collecting them. In the 1960s, the S&H catalog became the largest publication
in the country and S&H printed three times as many stamps as the U.S. Post Office.
The Sperry and Hutchinson Company (doing business as YOU Technology), the originator of S&H Green Stamps, has evolved the customer-loyalty reward
initiative to become the ultimate full service loyalty business solution in the marketplace, the S&H greenpoints program.
Today, YOU Technology provides a broad range of products and services that include the Greenpoints program,
Private Branded
Reward Program and In-lane Messaging Systems, Strategy Consulting,
Technology & Administration, Strategic Marketing Management,
and Customer Relationship Management.
NO MORE LICKING AND STICKING
S&H greenpoints, our loyalty-building currency, work the same way S&H Green Stamps did before the digital revolution:
Customers earn a quantity of greenpoints for every dollar they spend. However, instead of "licking and sticking"
stamps, your customers' greenpoints will be added to their account balance and recorded at the bottom of their
receipt. The amount of greenpoints customers earn is set by each YOU Technology's business partner as it fits their business
goals. The greenpoints program has proven to help retain and increase the level of loyal consumers that continue
to shop your stores.
IT WORKS!
Customers can do most anything they want with the greenpoints they earn - from redeeming for items in the S&H greenpoints
print and online catalogs - to redeeming for in-store Greenpoints Specials (GPS) items. Each YOU Technology business partner
decides which items to offer as GPS items to their customers. The opportunity to earn and build their greenpoints
balance creates what we call greenpoints "stickiness". Customers keep coming back to your store to build their
greenpoints balance for items in your store or from the S&H greenpoints catalog.
In addition to earning greenpoints in your stores, your customers have opportunities to earn greenpoints through
multiple channels. For example, they can become online members at
www.greenpoints.com at no cost and earn greenpoints
by shopping with over 100 affiliate merchants on our shopping portal. Or, customers can do business with any of our
coalition partners surrounding your stores to build their balances more quickly. They can even earn points with our
online service partners.
