“Custom Channels didn’t just help us run a promotion; it gave us a channel that actually moves the brand. Within one month, we had a double-digit lift in loyalty sign-ups, and now we can run a unified loyalty campaign across every location and actually see it working.”
“We have 15 locations that represent the Goodwill brand. Custom Channels gives us that consistent piece of the puzzle. And it’s one less thing I have to manage, because I know it’s going to be done right.”
“In the old system, I’d send scripts and wait two weeks to get spots back. Now I push out store-specific, day-parted campaigns with AI voicing in 15 minutes. It’s light years ahead of where we were.”
“Our self-wash customers spend an hour or more in the facility… they’re literally a captive audience. Since using Custom Channels in-store messaging, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in loyalty sign-ups and event engagement. It’s a fun and effective way to communicate.”
“Music is a critical part of the customer experience. Whether you’re in Seattle or Chicago, MOD should sound like MOD. Custom Channels handles the music so our teams can focus on our customers.”
