Our take
Paradoxical to its mission statement of creating developer-free promotion tools for companies, Talon.one was actually founded by several software developers. Boosted by a hard-hitting client list that includes Mercedes, Delivery Hero, and Adidas, Talon.one initiates and automates loyalty programs, discount campaigns and coupon offers for product-oriented businesses.
In 2022, Talon.one partnered with Big Commerce to offer promotion engine features to Jimmy Brings, an Australian alcohol delivery company. This collaboration with Big Commerce, alongside other companies involved in the project, highlights Talon.one's integration capabilities. It demonstrates the flexibility of Talon.one as it collaborated effectively with various software companies, showcasing its extensive potential in promotion tools.
Talon.one has a varied product service that includes coupon, referral, gift card, and loyalty software as well as product bundles and wallet solutions. It’s this variety that makes them such good partners on larger promotion strategies, as long as the quality remains rounded across all its products.
