"Our intention is to reward our customers for how they really shop, so we wanted to be as inclusive as possible," Eastern Mountain Sports CEO Will Manzer explains. "Our customers will be rewarded every time they connect with our brand. From trying new sports to investing in our top-quality gear and ongoing maintenance and outdoor education, EMS Rewards is where our customers' love for the outdoors pays off."
Utlilizing the Smart Button loyalty platform, the paperless EMS Rewards program has no key fobs or cards to carry. Customers can create accounts at any retail store and online at rewards.EMS.com. Members will then earn points on every purchase they make at any Eastern Mountain Sports store or adventure school and online at ems.com. There are no limits to the number of points a customer can earn during each six-month period, which can result in hundreds of dollars in rewards. Rewards will be totaled in March and September, and customers will be notified via email when their Rewards Certificates are available to be claimed and redeemed over the next six months at any Eastern Mountain Sports store, school or online at ems.com.
"We're pleased to welcome Eastern Mountain Sports to our list of satisfied clients that includes P.S. from Aeropostale, Hot Topic and KOA campgrounds," Smart Button CEO Phillip Sugar said. "Smart Button is all about helping our clients to develop better relationships with their customers, and we look forward to helping Eastern Mountain Sports do just that."
