Hashting: the missing link

Promotions ran. Sales went up. But no one could tell you which touchpoint drove which purchase or who the buyer was.

From Nestlé to Pepsico to BSH, every brand described the same gap: no attribution, no first-party data, no connection between the campaign and the cash register.

With Hashting you connect the dots without breaking a sweat!

What do you need to get done?

Five ways brands lose the link.
One way to get it back.

Every brand that comes to us is losing the link in one of these five ways. Find yours. See where it breaks.

#ConnectedPromo by Hashting

Prove which touchpoint drove which purchase

“I spend somewhere between €200K and €2M on social media, in-store, and influencers. Sales go up. But I can’t tell my team which channel actually moved the needle.”

You have views, clicks, impressions. You don’t have purchases. The campaign worked. Probably. But you can’t prove which channel, which retailer, which day. Finance asks what you got for that budget. You have estimates. They want receipts.

What Hashting changes: Touchpoint-to-purchase attribution. Every channel traceable to verified transactions, at every retailer, in real time. Not modelled. Verified.

“I spend millions on media but can’t name 10 people who actually bought.”

#RetailRedirect by Hashting

Move volume without eroding my shelf price

“Retailers want deeper discounts. I need to boost sell-out without permanently destroying my price point. And I need to prove it worked.”

Your promotional calendar is full. Retailers pressure for discounts. Every price drop is a negotiation you can’t roll back. The ROI conversation with Finance is always the same: estimates, models, gut feel. Your shelf price is eroding and nobody can say whether the last promo was worth it.

What Hashting changes: Consumer cashback that feels like a reward, not a discount. Shelf price stays intact. Every euro traceable to a verified purchase. Proof that protects both margin and budget.

“I need to defend my spend without a single hard number. Every quarter.”

Protect my margin →
#ConsumerEngagement by Hashting

Actually own my consumer relationship

“I have 500,000 consumers in my CRM. Meta owns the relationship. The retailer owns the purchase data. I can’t even run a birthday promo at scale.”

Your “direct line” is a disappearing cookie or an email with 20% open rates. You have contacts, not connections. You can’t activate, nurture, or re-engage at scale because you don’t own the link. Every loyalty programme, every referral mechanic, every research survey depends on a connection that someone else controls.

What Hashting changes: A direct, persistent, owned connection with each consumer through messaging. Loyalty, referral, gamification, research, ratings and reviews. All on one backbone. Retail-agnostic. First-party data you actually own.

“We email 500K people. 2% click. Meta knows more about our buyers than we do.”

Own my audience →
#ChannelActivation by Hashting

See what my intermediaries actually do with my investment

“I fund wholesalers, installers, and pharmacies. My product goes through 3 layers before it reaches the end buyer. I can’t see what happens after sell-in.”

You invest in trade incentives, sell-through bonuses, visibility programmes. But you can’t verify who acted, who didn’t, and what reached the market. Sell-in looks fine. Sell-through is a black box. Your sales reps spend half their time on admin instead of relationships.

What Hashting changes: Stand-alone incentive and loyalty programmes for every intermediary in your value chain. Verified activities. Auditable payouts. Real reporting on what moves and what doesn’t. No custom IT.

“We invest in 200 installers. We have no idea which ones actually push our brand.”

#HashtingForLocalRetail

Run promos across 5,000 outlets without losing budget to fraud

“I budgeted €50K for free products across 5,000 bars. How many actually reached a real consumer?”

Fragmented retail has no till data, no loyalty systems, no tracking. You activate thousands of outlets. Happy hours, tastings, free samples. But you don’t know which euros reach a consumer and which disappear behind the counter. Every outlet is a trust exercise without a receipt.

What Hashting changes: Every activation becomes a verified consumer interaction. Fraud-secured. Every euro traceable to a real consumer at a real outlet. Activate 5,000 bars simultaneously without losing control.

“I budgeted 50K free beers. How many actually reached a consumer? No idea.”

The receipts

We promised proof. Here it is.

Nescafé Dolce Gusto
Hit sales goals 5× faster than projected. Multi-retailer, multi-country. Through WhatsApp-based activation with real-time optimisation.
“Hashting’s results are fact-based and highly qualitative, offering credible numbers to marketeers to navigate their brands towards durable growth. As a true marketing partner, Hashting shows full involvement and dedication in the NDG brand and team.”
Beavertown Brewery
3.6× ROI
On-trade activation across fragmented outlets. Connected media spend to in-venue purchases for the first time.
“Visibility and control over the full marketing funnel. From media all the way down to purchase.” — Alex Green, Beavertown
Champion Petfoods (Acana & Orijen)
48%
Conversion from connection to verified purchase. On-pack cashback in specialty retail across Belgium and the Netherlands. 30%+ of participants were new buyers in a high-loyalty category.
“The on-pack campaign proved the mechanism works. Healthy ratio of scans, connections, and participation. The real value was learning which touchpoints convert and which don’t.”
Key learning: paid social drove traffic but not conversion. On-pack activation converted 3× better because consumers were already near the shelf. Proof that touchpoint selection matters as much as offer value.

Before you decide

The questions you’re already thinking of!

“We already run promotions through our retail partners.”
+
Good. Hashting doesn’t replace that — it makes it visible. You keep your retail relationships. Hashting adds the layer that connects your media, in-store, and on-pack touchpoints to verified purchases at those same retailers. The difference: you’ll know which activation drove which sale, at which retailer, on which day. Your retail partners stay in the loop. You just stop guessing.
“Our retailers won’t like us going around them.”
+
You’re not going around them. You’re going through the consumer — which is a different path entirely. Hashting is retail-agnostic: the consumer buys at whatever retailer they prefer. No exclusive deals, no channel conflict. In fact, most retailers benefit because Hashting drives footfall and sell-through to their stores. Beko runs this across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg simultaneously — with full retail support.
“We already have a CRM / CDP.”
+
A CRM stores contacts. Hashting creates connections. Your CRM has email addresses with 20% open rates. Hashting builds direct messaging relationships with 95% open rates — and ties them to verified purchase data. It feeds your CRM with richer, first-party data: who bought, where, when, and through which touchpoint. It doesn’t replace your stack. It fills the gap your stack can’t close.
“How does this compare to our existing measurement?”
+
Most measurement tools model attribution — they estimate which touchpoint probably drove which outcome. Hashting doesn’t model. It counts. Every consumer interaction is traced from the exact touchpoint to a verified purchase via receipt validation. That’s the difference between “our model suggests social drove 30% of sales” and “here are 4,200 verified purchases from social, at these 12 retailers, in these 3 weeks.” One is a slide. The other is proof.
“What does implementation look like?”
+
A 45-minute scoping session. A 30-minute operational kick-off. Live within 2 weeks. No IT integration required — Hashting runs as a stand-alone SaaS layer. You provide your brief, brand assets, and campaign rules. Hashting handles the consumer journey programming, messaging setup, QR/code creation, dashboard configuration, fraud rules, and consumer care. Continuous optimisation from day one.
“What does it cost?”
+
Platform license fee plus a cost-per-interaction model. You pay for verified connections, not impressions. No long-term contracts required — start with a single campaign pilot and scale from there. Most brands see positive ROI within the first campaign. The better question: what does it cost you right now to not know which half of your budget is working?
