Michele gave a masterclass in tools, tips and techniques that loyalty marketers can utilize in 2024, and 10 ways loyalty can be improved\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>1. Prioritize customer experience across all touchpoints<\/h3>\n<p><em>\u201cMy plea to loyalty marketers everywhere, is that it\u2019s time to evolve <strong>from thinking about it as a customer experience and really evolve to thinking about it as a human experience<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When you do that it will cause you to take a look at things like \u2018what are our messages\u2019 and \u2018what are our offers\u2019 and \u2018what\u2019s our value proposition\u2019 and \u2018how do we support the human being at the other end of this conversation?\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Digital and e-commerce has been on the rise for the last 10 years. But it\u2019s plateaued, and 75 to 80 percent of consumer purchases across all categories of goods still happens in a physical environment. So when you\u2019re thinking about your loyalty program, you\u2019re thinking about digital interactions, but <strong>don\u2019t forget about the opportunities to create physical interactions<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"Prioritize customer experience\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Leverage-Data-for-Personalization.png\" alt=\"Leverage Customer Data for Personalization\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>2. Leverage data for personalization and contextual relevance<\/h3>\n<p>Gathering customer data on their profile, touchpoints with your brands, as well as interactions with loyalty mechanics not only provides a wealth of insight, it also enables personalized recommendations and communications.<\/p>\n<p>This elevates the relevance of offers you promote to customers. Providing contextually relevant experiences will significantly improve the likelihood of a sales uplift (and satisfied customer).<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>3. Implement a robust loyalty program to incentivize repeat purchases and boost engagement<\/h3>\n<p>The best loyalty programs create a point of difference from the competition. They deliver mutually rewarding outcomes for your customer and your brand, encouraging behaviour change at incremental steps.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"454\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/The-impact.png\" alt=\"Stats showing the impact of a customer loyalty program\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/info.bondbrandloyalty.com\/loyalty-report-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/info.bondbrandloyalty.com\/loyalty-report-2018<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"508\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Implement-a-Rebust-Loyalty-Program.png\" alt=\"Implement a Robust Customer Loyalty Program\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Ensure that your program is easy to understand, simple to use, and offers a highly appealing value exchange. These programs should be iterative and emergent. So be sure to develop architecture that can flex as needed, and don&#8217;t fall in love with your first design &#8211; the road to brand advocacy will twist and turn!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/foster-community-and-connection.png\" alt=\"Foster community and connection with customers\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>4. Create a sense of community around your brand to foster deeper connections with customers<\/h3>\n<p>Emotional loyalty is hard to come by. By fostering a community around your brand, you&#8217;ll engage in a 2-way dialogue that encourages social sharing and a sense of ownership among customers of loyalty co-creation.<\/p>\n<p>So take the time to identify where a human touch can be injected in a process and go out of your way to focus on the \u2018softer\u2019 side of loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>5. Offer omnichannel support to ensure customers can effortlessly interact with your brand<\/h3>\n<p>The buyer journey is self-directed. So remove all friction and make it effortless for people to get what they want from you, via the channel they feel most comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/offer.png\" alt=\"Offer omnichannel support\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-1.png\" alt=\"Demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and CSR\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>6. Demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and CSR<\/h3>\n<p>Sustainability and corporate social responsibility present a wonderful opportunity for companies to make an immediate positive impact on their customers\u2019 brand perceptions. As consumers grow increasingly concerned with these global issues, demonstrating commitment to CSR give brands the chance to build stronger emotional bonds, based on shared values.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Use tech &#8211; like AI, chatbots and AR\/VR &#8211; to enhance customer engagement<\/h3>\n<p>As tech gets smarter, so can the applications of that technology &#8211; such as AI and chatbots &#8211; in managing customer relationships. This will allow companies to scale, but also increase the number and quality of customer touchpoints with a brand.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-2.png\" alt=\"Use tech to enhance customer engagement\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-3.png\" alt=\"Personalize customer communications\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>8.

Collect and act upon customer feedback<\/h3>\n<p>Engage in a 2-way dialogue with customers so they feel they have a voice in building products and services that appeal to them as individuals.

Repeat Business: The Gift That Keeps on Giving <\/h4>\n<p>Imagine your favorite coffee shop \u2013 let&#8217;s say Starbucks. They have a rewards program that keeps you coming back for your daily dose of caffeine. Loyal customers are like this: they return time and again, boosting your revenue steadily.<\/p>\n<p>We \u2018ve spoken about the Starbucks programs a couple of times on the show\u2026<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/6KCzOA2SO9Ehttps:\/\/youtu.be\/4nUlSOFtDjM<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.bain.com\/Images\/BB_Prescription_cutting_costs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Bain &amp; Company<\/strong><\/a> estimate that <strong>increasing customer retention by just 2% can have the same impact as cutting costs by 10%. And that improving customer retention by 5% can increase profits by up to 95%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, like a trusty old high school friend, they are always there when you need them.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Cost-Effective: A Penny Saved Is a Penny Earned<\/h4>\n<p>Think of acquiring new customers as planting a garden. It takes time, effort, and resources to grow new plants. Retaining existing customers, however, is like tending to an already flourishing garden \u2013 it\u2019s much easier and more rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon Prime is a perfect example: members shop more frequently and spend more, reducing the need for constant new customer acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s estimated that <strong>new customers cost five times more to convert than existing ones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, focus on nurturing the relationships you already have.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Brand Advocacy: Your Cheerleaders in the Stands <\/h4>\n<p>Loyal customers are your biggest fans, cheering you on from the stands. They spread the good word about your brand to friends and family, just like how people rave about the latest iPhone.<\/p>\n<p>According to Referral Sasquatch,<strong> the lifetime value for new referral customers is 16% higher than for non-referrals<\/strong>. Additionally, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crmxchange.com\/sitemap.asp?aspxerrorpath=\/Press_Releases\/Driving_Consumer_Preference__Examining_How_Customer_Brand_Loyalty_Impacts_Engagement.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">86% of consumers<\/a><\/strong> <strong>recommend brands to which they are loyal<\/strong> to other people.<\/p>\n<p>Making your loyal customers your most effective marketing campaign, ever!<\/p>\n<h4>4. Customer Feedback: The Honest Friend <\/h4>\n<p>Loyal customers are like that honest friend who gives you the (sometimes brutal) feedback you need to hear.<\/p>\n<p>They care about your success and aren\u2019t afraid to share their thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>This valuable input can drive your business forward and keep you ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Market Stability: Your Business Anchor<\/h4>\n<p>Acting as the anchor that keeps your ship steady in rough seas, loyal customers provide a predictable revenue stream that helps you navigate through economic downturns and market fluctuations.<\/p>\n<p>Take Costco, where members pay an annual fee and regularly shop for bulk items, providing a steady and predictable revenue flow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customers who are subscribed to a loyalty program have a<a href=\"https:\/\/queue-it.com\/blog\/loyalty-program-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 37% higher purchase frequency<\/a><\/strong> than those who aren\u2019t, helping to even out seasonal ups and downs.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, around 3 in 5 consumers spend more on a brand after signing up for a paid loyalty program (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/coping-with-the-big-switch-how-paid-loyalty-programs-can-help-bring-consumers-back-to-your-brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McKinsey<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Customers-who-are-subscribed.webp\" alt=\"Loyalty program consumers spend more statistic\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><br \/>\n\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video Podcast: Finnair Launches Finnair Plus\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DpDaWFvPbrA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\t\t<\/p>\n<h4>6. Competitive Edge: Your Secret Weapon <\/h4>\n<p>In a world full of choices, customer loyalty is your secret weapon.<\/p>\n<p>When customers feel a strong emotional connection to your brand, like fans of Finnair, they\u2019re <strong>less likely to be tempted by competitors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Loyal customers are also<strong> less price-sensitive<\/strong>, allowing you to focus on offering personalized experiences and exclusive rewards rather than getting caught in a price war.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Increased Spending: The Loyal Shopper <\/h4>\n<p>Loyal customers can\u2019t resist filling their cart with your best products. They tend to spend more over time and are more open to upselling and cross-selling opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/growth-marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/experience-led-growth-a-new-way-to-create-value\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">McKinsey<\/a><\/strong> found that <strong>repeat e-commerce customers spend more than double what new customers spend<\/strong>. Constellation Research found that <strong>companies improving engagement can boost cross-sell revenue by 22%<\/strong> and upsell revenue by 13% to 51%.<\/p>\n<p>They trust your brand and are therefore willing to explore your premium offerings.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"255\" src=\"https:\/\/letstalkloyalty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/unnamed-7.png\" alt=\"Statistics from The Loyal Shopper\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h4>8. Improved Customer Experience: The Disney Magic<\/h4>\n<p>Companies that focus on customer loyalty often invest in creating magical experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Disney is a shining example \u2013 they continually enhance their parks and services to provide an unforgettable experience, ensuring guests return and share their positive stories.<\/p>\n<p>A loyal customer base <strong>enhances your brand\u2019s reputation and helps address issues<\/strong> before they become serious problems, creating a win-win situation for everyone.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Positive Company Culture: The Happy Team <\/h4>\n<p>A strong base of loyal customers can <strong>boost employee morale and foster a positive company culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>When employees see happy, satisfied customers, they feel more motivated and engaged. Trader Joe&#8217;s is known for its cheerful employees, partly because of the strong customer loyalty the brand enjoys.<\/p>\n<p>Positive reviews and testimonials from loyal customers can elevate the brand\u2019s status, making it more attractive to potential customers and partners.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Long-Term Success: Building a Legacy <\/h4>\n<p>Ultimately, customer loyalty is the cornerstone of long-term business success.<br \/>Think of Amazon, which leveraged its loyal customer base when expanding from books to a vast array of products and services.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicereply.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-customer-loyalty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Customer disloyalty can stunt growth by 25%-50%,<\/strong><\/a> highlighting the importance of investing in loyalty to ensure continued success.
