Following the footsteps of the best consumer brands, Selco is using all its trading history and available data to tailor its customer offers to make them more relevant and improve their customer’s experience.

This means we have lots of data to help us and lots of ways we can offer the best, most relevant products to our customers at the right price. After using BrightTarget for several months, we can now predict what our customers may want in the future and align our offers accordingly to grow our business even faster”.
Glen Westlake, CEO of BrightTarget, a Sidetrade company, stated: “It is great to be working with Selco who are very passionate and leading the way in an industry that traditionally has not embraced digital marketing fully.
