Stage of Life LLC Launches Coupon API Allowing Reward and Loyalty Programs to Feature Discounts by Life Stage to Clients and Members


Stage of Life LLC launches a B2B Coupon API platform, My Life Rewards. In-store web coupons, online shopping codes, and discount offers from national brands touting discounts from 5% - 50% off are segmented by life stage and delivered to loyalty, reward and membership programs.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2013

PeoplesBank Rewards homepageStage of Life LLC, a loyalty marketing agency, announces the launch of its B2B Coupon API platform, My Life Rewards®. The API platform is fueled by the Stage of Life® Merchant Network - a database of coupons and offers organized by merchant category, e.g. small business, shoes, travel, apparel, etc. as well as life stage, e.g. students, families, wedding, homeowners, grandparents, Baby Boomers, etc.

“The combination of segmenting our Coupon API by both merchant category and life stage creates a powerful opportunity for affinity organizations to provide meaningful and relevant rewards to their clients or members for life’s important moments,” said Eric Thiegs, CEO of Stage of Life LLC.

Other aspects of the Stage of Life Coupon API include the ability to...
  • Incorporate local coupon offers if the client has customers clustered in a specific geographic region - including fully customized coupon artwork tailored to the client program.
  • Add dynamic database fields so the client can create exclusive sorting options to deliver coupons and brands most relevant to its unique audience in its loyalty program.

The Stage of Life Coupon API also gives participating reward and loyalty program clients flexibility in how to use the coupon content to reward their members, customers or employees, i.e. either as a stand alone member benefit program or as an enhancement to an existing loyalty or rewards program.

PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company - a financial institution located in South Central Pennsylvania - was the first client to utilize the Stage of Life Coupon API for its loyalty program, PeoplesBank Rewards.

“Stage of Life’s loyalty platform works for us on several levels,” said Nathan Eifert, VP of Marketing for PeoplesBank, “but our favorite aspect of the program is the flexibility for us to pull in and feature our own local merchant coupons.”



Together, Stage of Life and PeoplesBank built a network of merchants for PeoplesBank Rewards that focused on helpful “everyday spend” categories such as grocery stores, farmer’s markets, restaurants, dry cleaners, and other local and national merchants that feed through the Stage of Life Coupon API. The bank’s loyalty program website and concept was named a “Best of the Web” awards finalist in the “finance” category by the Central Penn Business Journal, and the program will welcome its 100th local merchant to the coupon program this year.

“When you have thousands of your debit cardholders visiting the rewards website, printing coupons, opening the reward emails, and actively participating in the program by saving money at both local and national merchants in our retail footprint, we knew we had a loyalty program that worked!” said Eifert.

Forty Under 40 Award 

Stage of Life CEO, Eric Thiegs, Named One of Central PA's Forty Under 40

HARRISBURG, PA – On Wednesday, October 10, Eric Thiegs was honored as one of Central Penn Business Journal’s 2012 Forty Under 40 award recipients for his commitment to business growth, professional excellence and community service at an evening reception and awards program at Hilton Harrisburg. This year marks the program’s 18th anniversary.
Eric Thiegs is currently the President & CEO of Stage of Life LLC, the start-up behind the international blogging and digital literacy initiative at StageofLife.com.

He gave up health benefits, a retirement package and a stable six-figure income as the director of partnership marketing to start his own company with no definable revenue, just two months before his second daughter was born.  It was a leap of faith that made sense only because Thiegs knew he could "make it work."

And he has.

Thiegs launched StageofLife.com in 2009 as a blogging community with a mission to make the world a better place through multi-generational storytelling.  The website saw a 253 percent increase in site traffic between 2010 and 2011 as well as a 197 percent increase in page views during that time.

Through a variety of PR, blogger outreach, educational partnerships, and viral marketing techniques, StageofLife.com continues to grow, as does its dual role as a partnership marketing agency that supports loyalty and rewards programs for member organizations.

Thiegs and the other award recipients will be featured in a special publication distributed in the October 12 edition of the Central Penn Business Journal. The list of winners will also appear in the 2013 Book of Lists publication.

Sponsors of the 2012 Forty Under 40 program include Members 1st Federal Credit Union, Comcast Business Class, Highmark Blue Shield, Hilton Harrisburg, Infiniti of Mechanicsburg, and Classic Drycleaners & Laundromats.

For more information about the Forty Under 40 awards program, the complete list of the honorees and/or to register to attend the awards reception, visit www.CPBJnow.com/events or contact Nicole Morgan at nicolem@centralpennbusiness.com or (717) 236-4300
