Blind Loyalty Challenge

Blind Loyalty Challenge with Aaron Dauphinee, Chief Marketing Officer at The Wise Marketer Group.

This insightful 13-minute challenge is definitely worth a listen and covers:
✅ Retail industry that is responsive to loyalty: “Clothing and footwear retailers & apparel.” A shoutout to Nike and the different interactions that they have created for customers such as using gelocation to only stock the colours and types of shoes that customers in that area are looking to buy.
✅ A big challenge in launching a loyalty programme: “Setting realistic expectations about customer’s behavioural change and what that looks like over time, and managing those expectations correctly.”
✅ Data privacy and are companies doing enough to protect data: “It depends on location, some are doing it very well and others are not, based on the legislation rules in their region. As loyalty marketers, we need to do better and protect the consumer first.”

Listen to my interview with Kia Abbott, Chief of Customer Value, Virgin Active Group

1) Member programs makes the link between loyalty and the customer
2) Emotional loyalty is focusing on what the customer really wants and needs
3) Most important KPI = measuring events that would not have happened without the loyalty program

Learn about loyalty in this insightful 8-minute challenge and covers:
– Loyalty programs give you the ability to link intrinsic value back to the customer but if the fundamentals are not there, a loyalty program can not save you
– What members really want
– Creating behaviour and events that would not have happened if it was not for the loyalty program

The importance of having active members and interacting with your customers frequently
– Once customers redeem their rewards they tend to spend 5 times more with your brand and the frequency goes up!
– It is the little gestures that makes the impact and creates more loyalty from customers
