1. Q&Me is online market research provided by Asia Plus Inc.
Loyalty card popularity in Vietnam

2. Overview
Vietnam is in the top of the country in the world
having the fastest growing population of ultra rich
individuals. This leads to a blooming consumption.
The modern trade therefore thrives.
The competition among retail chains is very tough.
All the retail brands take measures to engage their
customers, retain and drive repeat purchases. A
loyalty program is one of a most useful tool to
manage the customer database and increase the
engagement with the brand.
The research was conducted to have a better
understand of the loyalty program usage. It
surveyed 260 shoppers at modern retail chains,
from 15 to 60 years old nationwide.

3. Key take away
Supermarket as the most
chosen shopping place
Big 3 to lead the market Not all brands have a good
ratio of membership
Supermarket is the first choice of
retail chain for every shopper. CVS
comes after with 3/5 users and
shopping mall with 1/2 users
Supermarket has almost every
shoppers register for a loyalty card
while the others have less than 30%.
In each category (supermarket, CVS,
shopping mall and electronic center),
there is always big 3 brands
dominating the field such as BigC,
Co.opmart, Vinmart (supermarket),
Vinmart+, Bach Hoa Xanh, Circle K
(CVS), Vincom, Lotte Mart, Aeon mall
(shopping mall), Dien May Xanh,
TGDD, Nguyen Kim (Electronic
center).
Top reasons to register for a loyalty
card are shopping frequency, points
program and discount scheme for
membership. However, not all brands
have good database of customers
due to the lack of interesting program
and low awareness of customers on
a loyalty program.

4. Key take away
High interest in loyalty
program
Low usage of digital loyalty
program
The more popular a shopping place
is, the more loyalty cards have been
registered for. Big C’s loyalty card has
been chosen as the most favorite
among all the retail brands.
9/10 shoppers are interested in
membership benefits while a loyalty
card would make 3/4 of the shoppers
shop more frequently at a certain
place.
Only 1/3 of those who have loyalty
card has used digital app for the
membership program. VinID stands
out with its app’s convenient and
transparent points program.
