🚀 Exciting News! Our upcoming update at BadgerCards is set to be our most significant yet, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share the details. Over the past few months, we've doubled down on what matters most: listening to you. We've engaged in over 20 in-depth conversations with businesses, gathering invaluable insights that have directly shaped this release. Here’s what you can look forward to: - Multi-Location Support: Perfect for chains, this feature allows teams to manage data separately across locations, ensuring a consistent customer experience while scaling effortlessly. - Flexible Stamp Rewards: Now, you can issue multiple stamps at once, making the transition from paper to digital cards smoother than ever. - Enhanced UI: Coupons now look like coupons, and yes, the long-awaited map feature is finally here! 🎉 But that’s not all—this update is just the beginning. We're continuously committed to enhancing the customer experience, and our next release might just be the real game-changer. 😉 Stay tuned!

How does BadgerCards create leads? In the early days, we went door-to-door. It was hard and inefficient, but meeting our first customers in person established trust and provided critical feedback about our product. These early adopters shaped our product and continue to support our growth. To keep up with the process, we began checking out automated lead generation software. We tried the likes of Apollo.io, lemlist, and others. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to fully satisfy the demands of personalized messages targeting merchant business in Switzerland. That's why we've built our very own lead generation AI software that has been highly successful. Our custom-made CRM has scraped over 20'000 leads from French-speaking Switzerland and creates personalized email sequences, featuring a reply rate of over 12%. This significant improvement frees up time for our sales team to focus on meetings and closing deals. But we won't stop there. We're currently working on a new method to further enhance our lead generation. Stay tuned 🚀 #startup #innovation #tech #AI #leadgeneration #CRM #EPFL #Lausanne
