Diller helps companies become more competitive by providing access to technology and marketing that has previously been reserved for the budgets and capacities of the largest companies.
We let retailers do what they love.
We simplify life for every store owner and help them succeed. Diller makes it easy for retailers to inspire and build deeper engagement with their customers through data insight and personalized communication.
We do this by developing data-driven and automated digital tools in a marketing universe that continuously simplifies and expands retailers’ opportunity to operate in an efficient and profitable way.
Our background
Diller AS was established in 2016 to provide affordable, profitable, and data-driven loyalty platform for personalized and automated customer dialogue. We are a fast-growing company with offices in Oslo and Kristiansand in Norway, Leiria in Portugal, and New York City in USA.
Since its inception, Diller has built a solid customer base with millions of loyalty program members in Norway and internationally. The company is now a market leader in the SME sector in Norway and aims to become a globally leading loyalty platform.
Retailers are finding that Google advertising and social media marketing have become both ineffective and expensive. Customer dialogue is becoming increasingly complicated and less targeted for anyone involved in retail.
The way you, as a store owner, engage with customers is crucial for whether they return to your physical store or online shop. Identifying and recognizing customers and their shopping patterns is essential for making the next sale. In other words: Who are the customers, where are they, what do they buy, and when? The Diller platform provides answers to these questions.
Diller for both SME and Enterprise
At Diller, we believe that all businesses should be able to compete on equal terms with large international chains and Amazon. Therefore, we have developed the market’s most effective technology for customer loyalty, available as a “plug-and-play” solution. Our loyalty platform is integrated with the largest cash register provider in the Nordics, as well as with the world’s leading eCommerce platforms.
A customer and loyalty platform is a proprietary marketing channel that ensures first-party data, and using the platform guarantees both targeted marketing and retail that complies with GDPR regulations at all times. Utilizing Diller is simple, affordable, and most importantly, a comprehensive solution for an efficient and profitable customer dialogue.
Diller empowers small businesses to compete with the big players. We simplify complex marketing tasks, turning data into actionable insights. By automating personalized customer communication, we help to build stronger relationships and boost sales. Diller is every merchant’s secret weapon!
