The firm will also create data-driven marketing services for the card programme to increase brand loyalty and drive incremental sales. It will also provide incentives to shop at Build.com.
Build.com vice president of finance Brianna Burwell said: “We’re all about the customer experience, and we believe this new credit program will give our shoppers another reason to buy everything they need for their home from Build.com. We know the credit card program will reflect all that our brands stand for, and we are confident it will drive sales and strengthen the relationships we have with our customers.”
Alliance Data’s card services business president Melisa Miller added: “This new partnership drives home our commitment and proven track record of delivering customized, rewards-driven card programs to dynamic brands, and we are so excited to work with Build.com.
“This important partner program further extends our reach within the home improvement vertical, and really speaks to the growth of the category. We know that customers choose to shop online for anything and everything for the home, and they want to get it through a quick and easy shopping experience, from device to doorstep.”
