$5 billion in revenue generated for retail and eCommerce brands in 2025

Wunderkind has the highest identification rates on the market

Retention's smaller identity network relies on cookies and third-party data, limiting your ability to engage potential customers.

Wunderkind recognizes up to 10X more visitors that show real intent on your site, so you can engage more of your audience through personalized, behavior-triggered messages across email, text, and onsite. Send more targeted emails and drive substantial revenue growth. Wunderkind integrates anywhere you need with an API first framework, but can also natively trigger campaigns directly in your ESP, text platforms, onsite or other channel.
