Key Takeaways

  • The program integrates with ShopSimon.com and Simon Search for an easy omnichannel experience.
  • Over 500 retailers, including major brands, joined Simon to boost engagement and sales.

Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) recently launched a new loyalty program called Simon+. This program is designed to reward omnichannel shoppers when they make purchases at Simon Malls and Premium Outlets and online at ShopSimon.com, or through links to participating retailer websites.

With this platform, shoppers can get special deals, receive cash back and points on eligible in-store and online purchases. It also unlocks curated rewards, including incentives from participating retailers, valet parking, Santa photos and discounts on ShopSimon.com.

Simon+ is an innovation of SPG's omnichannel strategy. The new program is seamlessly integrated with ShopSimon.com and Simon Search, a tool that enables customers to search more than 3 million products available both in-stores and online at Simon.com, ShopSimon.com, and its mobile apps. This makes it easier for shoppers to find what they need, while being rewarded for shopping as they usually do, online and in-person.

With more than five hundred retailers nationwide already on board, including well-known brands like adidas, H&M, JD Sports, Shake Shack, True Religion, UNTUCKit and Warby Parker, Simon+ provides a strong support to brands to enhance their own loyalty efforts. There are no costs involved for participating brands and Simon+ complements retailers’ current programs by driving engagement, increasing cross-shopping between brands, driving traffic and sales conversion both in-store and online and supplying valuable data to optimize future marketing strategies.
