Setting Up LoyaltyProgramme
proposed by MARITZ
www.aravindts.com
Step 1: Loyalty SituationAnalysis
u What ismy company’s long-termvision?
u What are our business goals and objectives?
u How do we conduct business (operationally) and how do we generate
profits?
u How do we capture customer data, and what data do we currently
capture?
u What are the market conditions that could affect my loyalty program,
including industry and competitor-related issues?
u How much brand recognition do we have in the market, and what type
of brand positioning do we promote?
u How many lines of businesses do I have, and how do they vary in
regards to business model, offerings, programs, and target customers?

Step 2: Data Gathering & Gap Analysis
u Data capture will include:
u Customer demographics, purchasing/activitylevels
u How you segment customers and/or score their activities
u How you analyze profits, and any recency, frequency, and
monetary (RFM) value models you have built along various
lines of business.
u It may include communication channels, product profit
margins, channels of purchase
www.aravindts.com
Step 3: Earnings Overview

Traditional Loyalty
Programs
Vs
Modern Rewards
Programs
www.aravindts.com
Plastic Reward Cards vsMobilePhones
u 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.
u 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.
www.aravindts.com
POS vs Online Dashboard
u 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.
u 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.
www.aravindts.com
Printable Coupons vs MobileCoupons
u 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.
u 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.
www.aravindts.com
Social Media Integration
u Traditional loyalty programs are stuck in a silo. Only your business
knows when a guest earns a reward or visits your business.
u 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.

Golden rules of loyalty program
u Identify type ofbenefits
u Design programmes based on customer needs and aspirations
u Keep programmes fresh and updated
u Use technology to personalize benefits
u Seek constant feedback
u Reinvest regularly inrefinement

Mobile Customer Loyalty Programs
www.aravindts.com
Opt-in Programs
Customers provide information about their preferences, likes,
dislikes, demographics, etc. and in return receive permission
based targeted and relevant messages of promotions/ deals/
events.
www.aravindts.com
LoyaltyRewards
the best• Opt-in loyalty programs gives customers access to
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
www.aravindts.com
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.
www.aravindts.com
Cross selling -Cross-company programs
u 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 anexisting customer
u Unlike the acquiring of new business, cross-selling
involves an element of risk that existing relationships with
the client could be disrupted
u 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
www.aravindts.com
Example
u HiDesign giving away Promenade Discount for Gold Cards
u Payback Cards
www.aravindts.com
u 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.
u Upselling usually involves marketing more profitable
services or products but can also be simply exposing
the customer to other options that were perhaps not
consideredpreviously.

TESCO
www.aravindts.com
u The Tesco Loyalty Card is one of the most exciting and interesting marketing tales of this
generation. Tesco’s have gained the reputation as sophisticated loyalty scheme
marketers
u In1995 Tesco introduced their Tesco Club card
u The Tesco Club card has become the world’s most successful retail loyalty
scheme
u Tesco Clubcard holders benefit when shopping at Tesco as they receive 1 point
for every £1 they spend, and double points on special offers
www.aravindts.com
u These points are stored and built up and 4 times a year the
holder receives vouchers to the value of points they have saved
u Vouchers can be spent in store on shopping or used on Club card Deals where
they are worth 4 times the value
u They are also entitled to free access to the Clubcard clubs which include: wine,
baby and toddler, healthy food, food and Christmas clubs
u There are over 150 loyalty schemes within the UK, which equates to the
circulation ofover 40 million cards
www.aravindts.com
Case Study :Cashing Inon CustomerLoyalty
www.aravindts.com
u Casino company Harrah's Entertainment Inc. has had great success in targeting "low-
rollers" in recent years
u By 2002, the company posted more than $4 billion in revenue, $235 million in net
income and a streak of 16 straight quarters of "same-store" revenue growth
u In 1997, it implemented a loyalty program called Total Gold, which was a
frequent-player program
u Total Gold player cards recorded customer activity at various points of sale-
including slot machines, restaurants, and shops. Soon, the database contained
millions of transactions and valuable information about customer preferences
and spendinghabit
www.aravindts.com
u Statistical analysis revealed that the best customers were not the "high- rollers"
so coveted by the rest of the industry.
u In fact, the best customers turned out to be slot-playing middle-aged
folks or retired teachers, bankers, and doctors with time and
discretionary income.
u They did not necessarily stay at a hotel, but often visited a casino just for
the evening.
u Surveys of these customers told Harrah's that they visited casinos primarily
because of the intense anticipation and excitement of gambling itself.www.aravindts.com
u It developed quantitative models to predict lifetime value of these customers and
used them to centre marketing and service-delivery programs on increasing
customer loyalty
u In an indication of success in capturing greater wallet-share, the programs
dramatically increased the amount of cross-market (multiple property)
play. This grew from 13 percent in 1997 to 23 percent in 2000.
