Rising food inflation calls for smarter loyalty solutions: Jisp
As new IGD research predicts UK food inflation could hit 5.1% in 2025, retail technology company Jisp is urging brands and retailers to rethink how they deliver value to price-sensitive consumers.
“With every price rise, shoppers are forced to become more selective,” said Alex Rimmer, marketing and communications director at Jisp.
“This isn’t just about price anymore – it’s about trust, transparency and meaningful reward.”
Jisp’s award-winning Scan & Save and Scan & Win platforms are already helping thousands of UK convenience stores offer instant savings, gamified rewards and targeted product promotions – without the need for costly printed coupons or heavy discounting.
But as inflation remains high, Jisp is calling for a wider industry move toward value-added loyalty – where rewards go beyond points and truly support families and communities.
“With our platforms, we’ve proven that loyalty doesn’t have to come at the cost of margin,” added Rimmer. “Retailers earn. Brands win trial. Shoppers get rewarded. And local economies stay strong.”
Jisp has also pledged to expand community support via its JispWin prize draw platform, which gives 15% of ticket revenues back to stores and 20% to local charities and causes.
Jisp believes that value shouldn’t come at the cost of experience or community. By merging digital convenience with real-world rewards and social impact, it is aiming to build a more inclusive, resilient and innovative retail ecosystem.
As food inflation continues to test the industry, the time is now to invest in smarter loyalty and engagement platforms that empower shoppers, support stores, and create measurable wins for brands.
