PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — FreedomPay, the world’s leading consumer-centric commerce platform, has announced that the Cancer Support Community (CSC), the largest professionally led non-profit network of cancer support worldwide, will leverage DecisionPoint Network™ to drive donations at Cedar Fair’s Kings Island Amusement Park in Ohio.
The partnership allows CSC to engage visitors at one of the most popular seasonal amusement parks in the United States, incentivizing customers to donate to CSC, which provides $50 million in free support and navigation services each year to individuals affected by cancer.
“We are excited about this partnership with FreedomPay and Kings Island, and what it means for people affected by cancer,” said Kim Thiboldeaux, CEO of the Cancer Support Community. “Engaging customers at the point of sale means they will have an instant opportunity to help us provide even more free counseling, financial navigation, emotional support and other critical services to patients and their loved ones in Ohio and around the globe.”
DecisionPoint Network™ (DPN) is FreedomPay’s proprietary marketing platform that enables brands to maximize consumer interactions at the point of sale. Merchants that opt-in and take advantage of DecisionPoint Network™ can drive loyalty and increase average order value (AOV) by delivering targeted rewards, discounts, and offers in real-time; while providing brand advertisers with the ability to reach hundreds of millions of customers in premium venues that include theme parks, stadiums, universities, airports, restaurants, retail stores, and hotels around the world.
DecisionPoint Network™ capitalizes on the highly engaged time period during the checkout process. Additionally, it offers 100% viewability; ad exposure of 10-15 seconds; and is insusceptible to ad fraud, ad blocking, and harmful content that can negatively impact brand advertisers.
“We are proud to support the Cancer Support Community’s fundraising efforts in partnership with Kings Island. DecisionPoint Network will help raise awareness for a great cause and enable the CSC to impact a wider audience,” said Nate Ware, VP of Digital Development at FreedomPay.
