Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary Hifyre™ Inc. announced that the Spark Perks™ member program has achieved the milestone of 100,000 enrolled members across the Fire & Flower retail network. Spark Perks offers its members access to services including Spark Fastlane™ “click-and-collect”, curbside pickup and the Rapid Delivery™ home delivery service in jurisdictions where these programs are permitted. In addition, member benefits include exclusive discounts, member-only content and access to invite-only events.
On average, Spark Perks members spend 37% more per transaction than non-members and have purchased from Fire & Flower an average of 2.5 times in the past seven weeks. More than 50% of all Fire & Flower transactions are from Spark Perks members. Sparks Perks continues to be a competitive advantage for Fire & Flower and since the onset of the COVID-19 public health crisis beginning in March 2020, more than 20,000 members have enrolled in the program.
“The Hifyre platform continues to be a competitive advantage for Fire & Flower in cannabis retailing. Engaged customers, repeat purchasing and higher than average transaction values are key in building our Retail Platform revenue stream,” said Trevor Fencott, Chief Executive Officer of Fire & Flower. “As consumer behaviours and preferences change towards increased digital engagement, Fire & Flower is well positioned to maximize market opportunities.”
“Since the acquisition by Fire & Flower, Hifyre has rapidly commercialized best-in-class retail technology and is a leader in delivering this technology to the adult-use cannabis industry,” shared Matthew Hollingshead, President of Hifyre. “Through our strategic agreement with COVA Software Solutions announced earlier this year, Hifyre will continue to commercialize these technologies across Canada and internationally.”
The Hifyre Digital Retail and Analytics Platform is a proprietary ecosystem of products that include the Spark Perks member program, Hifyre ONE retail software platform and the Hifyre IQ cannabis data and analytics platform. The Hifyre platform also supports Fire & Flower’s advanced operations and provides a competitive advantage in providing a tailored digital experience and understanding consumer behaviours in the evolving cannabis market.
In July of 2018, Fire & Flower completed the acquisition of Hifyre, the digital product studio responsible for developing the industry-first regulated cannabis e-commerce platform for Mettrum Health Corp. (now Canopy Growth Corporation’s Spectrum Cannabis).
Hifyre has worked in the legal cannabis industry for the last 7 years providing progressive custom digital solutions and services that create accelerated growth and operational savings. Hifyre’s products and consulting services have helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate value for its partners.
