Square Marketing Launches in Canada

Square has launched its new integrated marketing tool in Canada, which is designed to help businesses connect with new and existing customers.

Using Square Marketing, businesses can create, send, and track e-mail marketing campaigns, promotions, discounts, and coupons, all in one place. The focus is to help small businesses expand customer reach and helps sellers gain key business insights with analytics. In the U.S., Square data revealed that in August 2021, 78% of coupons and discounts sent through Square Marketing were redeemed within one week, up from 50% in January.

Square Marketing, along with Square’s other customer capability tools like Loyalty, Gift Cards, and Directory, enables businesses to grow their customer base, drive repeat visits, and increase buyer spend. Businesses can schedule or immediately send e-mails to customers by leveraging Square Marketing’s automation capabilities, saving time and effort. There’s also real-time tracking for measuring campaign results using the Square Marketing Dashboard. This pertains to active campaigns, open and click-through rates, and attributable sales for both in person and online purchases.

“After a challenging year and-a-half, we’re finally seeing a return to a new normal as we navigate new ways of doing business,” says Karisa Marra, Business Expert at Square Canada. “With the busy holiday shopping season upon us, now is the perfect time for businesses to plan their sales strategy and reconnect with customers in meaningful ways. We’re excited to bring Square Marketing to businesses in Canada to help them engage with the right customers at the right time.”

“The automated campaigns feature is amazing, and I particularly love that the messaging function is integrated right into the e-mail,” says Luke Nieuwland, Co-owner and Manager of Whisky Run Golf Club in Port Colborne, ON, which recently integrated Square Marketing into the business. “This way, any customer question or comment goes right to my dashboard, instead of sitting in my inbox. The Smart Groups function also makes it so easy to target specific customers for the right promotions and announcements, rather than blasting e-mails to my entire list. I use Square to run my entire business, from payments to bookings to my online store. Square Marketing is just one more way they’re helping me be successful.”

Square Marketing is available for free until the end of November 2021 and will be available on a tiered pricing structure thereafter.
