Amazon partnered with Whole Foods Markets to offer Amazon Prime Members a unique personalized promotion that crosses digital and physical shopping experiences. For a limited time, Amazon Prime members who also shop at physical Whole Foods stores were the recipients of targeted two-hour delivery recommendations for Whole Foods products.
According to the company, the personalized retail experience featured a digital storefront and utilized data extracted from Prime members' accounts to offer shoppers custom product recommendations and deals. In addition, the retail strategy also leveraged customer data from Whole Foods to entice shoppers to buy more grocery products online and enjoy free two-hour delivery. The promotion was rolled out across 30 American cities, including Detroit, Houston, and Los Angeles.
