Taking Next-Generation Mobile to New Heights - AirMiles
This document discusses how the AIR MILES reward program is taking mobile to new heights by evolving their approach to gamification, native apps, and mobile messaging. The AIR MILES program has over 10 million active collector accounts and sees 1,000 card swipes per minute. Their mobile app launched in 2010 saw increased engagement through gamifying location check-ins, with the number of check-ins rising from 22,000 to 400,000 per month. Building the app natively instead of using web views also increased time spent in the app by 60%. The presentation covers how the mobile landscape is evolving with new devices and how companies can increase mobile relevance through push notifications and location-based services.

Editor's Notes
- #7 For a bit of background, here was our approach for ‘going mobile’.. Since 2009 we’ve launched several mobile platforms including SMS, Mobile Web and a mobile App for several devices In Canada, our research revealed a game-changing opportunity as smartphone ownership has increased from 23% in 2011 to 45% in 2013 and Mobile browsing is on track to exceed Web browsing over the next few years As we’ve developed our roadmap,we’ve identified the leading edge tactics that would drive activity: both from a Retailer and a Collector perspective We immediately saw the benefit of being able to connect with a customer in the moment, while they were shopping in-store and have tailored the parts of our program-mostly tied to earning-that make the most sense for Mobile for the App

Step 5 needs to be an ongoing process that integrates your Mobile strategies and Apps into all aspects of your customer communication platform strategies.

- #15 In V1 we featured our Rewards catalogue in Web views as we didn’t think we needed to deliver natively By building the entire catalogue in the app natively, we answered the feedback/requests from many of our Collectors As a result average time spent in the app increased by 60%
- #19 Transactional value = AMRM earned / CollectorMobile data collected with collector number allows us to analyze collector issuance activity before and after installing the App. We consistently see that when Collectors use the app they earn more miles. The lift is more evident in the initial stage and sustained over time. The level of lift depends on the Collectors’ engagement. Avid collectors see an lift of 8% in the first 3 months but will retain to their previous behaviour in the long run.Moderate collectors see an initial lift of 25% and sustain a growth of 10% over time. Passive collectors grow even faster with the App – initial lift of 34% and 15% over time.
