Restaurant Marketing Site Super-sizes
Email Volume with iPost
As the valued and trusted restaurant marketing network that connects restaurants and diners, Restaurant.com requires a world-class email service provider (ESP) to handle the volume and complexity of its digital marketing needs. With 500,000+ deals available every day, and a requirement to send millions of 1:1 hyper-personalized emails per-hour, the online restaurant promotion site is clearly among the most sophisticated marketers in its category.
Restaurant.com pulls data from multiple sources to create geographically relevant, personalized email offers within 15 miles of a user’s registered
zip code radius. Offering discounts at more than 170,000 restaurants and retailers, and creating deals segmented by user on a daily
basis, the site generates huge quantities of targeted email.
To be effective in handling this level of data requires an efficient, intuitive, cost-effective solution that can manage extensive burst sending
capacity. iPost delivers everything – with lower-cost and better ease-of-use.
“After seeing the iPost platform it was a no-brainer to switch providers. With iPost we have all our needs met with an easier-to-use platform and better support, at a lower cost.”
– Lisa Nason,
