Would be great to access
my wish lists and gift lists in
store.
I am constantly forgetting to put
my Plum card in my purse. It
would be great if there was an
Indigo app with a virtual Plum
card kinda like Starbucks.
The phone can replace the kiosk
to help find more information or
ratings and reviews on products.

BUILDING A MOBILE STRATEGY
TO CREATE A “WINNING” EXPERIENCE, INDIGO FOCUSED ON THESE THREE THINGS:
Search & Discovery
!
To drive conversion in-
store and via device, we
need to allow users to find
the products they’re
looking for quickly and
easily.
Loyalty Integration
Our rewards program is
one of the highest
penetrated in Canada and
we want to continually
improve member
satisfaction by delivering
what our members are
asking for
Augment In-Store
Experience
Make our customers lives
easier by creating a
contextually-aware app
that will sync their wish
lists, show them inventory
in store, allow them to scan
products and give them
relevant information about
the store they are in

Be able to engage with the Indigo
brand anywhere and anytime with a

do at this moment
