How does Smart Solutions work?

Smart Solutions offers manufacturers three unique modules within the Pepper app. Participants can choose one or more modules that suit their campaign.

Native Ads

Display Ads

These are static banner ads that will appear at the top of orders guides that users see when they first login to the app. Multiple products can be easily scrolled through directly below the banner for quick access to product features, benefits, and pricing.

Prioritized Search

Keyword Prioritization

This module allows manufacturers to identify high ranking keywords related to products that they would like to feature and surfaces those products to the top of user’s search results. Users are then able to easily add items to their orders with a click of a button.

Sample Requests

Enabling the ‘Request a Sample’ button allows users to digital submit their interest in a product within the app, which creates a hot lead for manufacturers to follow up on.
