Loyalty Programs
Keep your best customers – and keep them profitably! Based on leading research and work in industries including publishing, retail, and insurance, Bending Brook can craft and manage your loyalty program that:
- Targets the most appropriate customers, focusing the spend and the retention effort. These are ideally the most influenceable customers – those that will change their behavior in response to the promotions
- Increases customer activation – by targeting purchase frequency and order size
- Uses immediate purchase benefits and promotions
- Creates long-term loyalty benefits – including using your current product/service benefits and developing motivating and new benefits
- Develops exciting rewards
- Uses a reward structure, such as silver gold and platinum, to continually motivate customers
- Considers your sales channel, for example if you use salespeople or sales agents. Loyalty benefits can be targeted to salespeople, other sales-chain intermediaries, and to end-customers
- Develops effective marketing communications or creative approaches to merchandise and highlight offers
