How has loyalty been impacted? • As Illustrated, there a great number of significant environmental factors—legislative, economic, behavioral, and technology-driven—that are impacting what a loyalty program needs to look like in the future. • The underlying purpose of loyalty programs remains, and, in fact, is stronger than ever—driving profitable customer behavior!!!! • Consumers expectations are high – What’s in it for me? • Consumers want value and flexibility, choice and options. • Consumers are also looking for control – instant rewards with long-term incentives – delivered up digitally.
In light of all these market forces and heightened consumer expectations, what will successful “loyalty” programs look like in the near and longer term? Ultimately the goal must be providing value in meaningful, targeted, relevant and profitable ways: Must address, in a targeted manner, the broader customer relationship and the behaviors desired. (Earn side of the equation) Must provide meaningful incentives to drive the desired behavior. (Burn side) Must utilize all available channels to engage the customer-relevant in both method and time. Must be YOUR program—built for you and targeted to your goals, now and in the future. Must contribute to profitability. Loyalty more relevant than ever…to the consumer
