type of brand positioning do we promote?

regards to business model, offerings, programs, and target
customers?

23-Jan-15 16

17. Traditional Loyalty Programs
Vs
Modern Rewards Programs
23-Jan-15 17

18. Plastic Reward Cards vs Mobile Phones
• Most loyalty programs require the business to print thousands
of plastic loyalty cards. This means the business must spend
hundreds or even thousands of dollars in upfront cost to launch
their loyalty program.
• Check-in based loyalty programs utilize guests’ mobile phones
as their loyalty cards, enabling guests to “check-in” anytime
they’re at your venue. Because you are utilizing your patrons’
phones as their loyalty card, the start-up cost to launch a
loyalty program is dramatically reduced.
23-Jan-15 18

19. POS vs Online Dashboard
• Most traditional, card-based loyalty programs are connected to
a point-of-sale system installed at each store. These POS
systems enable each business to track customers’ rewards
points. However, these POS systems cost thousands of dollars
to buy and maintain, further increasing the cost of operating a
loyalty program.
• Most check-in based loyalty programs are packaged with an
online dashboard that your business can access to update its
loyalty program and view reports on customer visits and
rewards. These dashboards are typically provided for free or
for a minimal cost for more advanced programs.
23-Jan-15 19

20. Printable Coupons vs Mobile Coupons
• Oftentimes, traditional loyalty programs deliver coupons and
rewards via a mailed coupon or through an email that the guest
must print out. These rewards require the guest to remember
to save the coupon and bring it with them when they next visit
your store.
• Check-in based programs, which are typically tied to a guest’s
mobile phone, deliver coupons and rewards directly to your
guests phones. This provides guests with a 24/7 link to your
business and enables them to redeem their rewards whenever
they have their phone.
23-Jan-15 20

21. Social Media Integration
• Traditional loyalty programs are stuck in a silo. Only your
business knows when a guest earns a reward or visits your
business.
• Check-in programs are social by nature. When your guests
check-in, they tell all of their friends they are visiting your
business and provide an inherent recommendation. This is a
huge benefit to businesses looking to expand their reach to new
customers. Check-ins on social networks like Foursquare and
Facebook Places increase your social media presence and help
new customers discover your business.

22. Golden rules of loyalty program

dislikes, demographics, etc. and in return receive permission
based targeted and relevant messages of promotions/ deals/
events.
23-Jan-15 24

25. Loyalty Rewards
• Opt-in loyalty programs gives customers access to the best
offers/deals on products that interest them via mobile.
• Retailers can proactively send offers/incentives to the
customer’s mobile device - thus eliminating the need for
membership cards.
• Mobilizing the physical card means - retailers can add location
based offers, customized coupons and a quick check-out
experience.
• A loyalty reward mobile program can alert a customer to any
special offers when he checks-in
23-Jan-15 25

26. Mobile Coupons
• Mobile coupons add interactivity, location and real-time
attributes to the traditional coupon. So companies use mobile
coupons in different ways.
• Real-time redemption at the point of sale where a customer
gets a future coupon in real-time.
23-Jan-15 26

27. Cross selling - Cross-company
programs
• Cross-selling is the action or practice of selling among or
between established clients, markets, traders, etc. or the action
or practice of selling an additional product or service to an
existing customer
• Unlike the acquiring of new business, cross-selling involves an
element of risk that existing relationships with the client could
be disrupted
• For that reason, it is important to ensure that the additional
product or service being sold to the client or clients enhances
the value the client or clients get from the organization
23-Jan-15 27

28. Upselling
• Upselling is a sales technique whereby a seller induces the
customer to purchase more expensive items, upgrades, or other
add-ons in an attempt to make a more profitable sale.
• Upselling usually involves marketing more profitable services
or products but can also be simply exposing the customer to
other options that were perhaps not considered previously.

43. ???
• The big question will be whether consumers are willing to
simply hand over their identity to every business for added
benefits and rewards – and if so, what this says about the real
stance as consumers about personal privacy?
