Loyalty Marketing: Beyond the Card
What Is It? Loyalty is a feeling of
attachment that customers have towards a brand.
Loyalty Marketing focuses on strengthening brand attachment to influence consumer behavior…one member at a time.
Why Do It? The goal of Loyalty
Marketing is to maximize the Lifetime Value of each customer through increased member frequency, spend and retention.

Community, Loyalty
2-3 Loyalty “gifts” annually to drive enrollment and baseline ROI (ex: BOGO entrée gifts on Welcome, Birthday, Anniversary)
12-18 brand and community messages per year
1-2 other “Surprise” offers, usually one-day offers
= Total of 18-24 communications per year
