Technology doesn’t create loyalty. Strategy does.

Where should you get started to create a loyalty program? That’s often the question we get when customer acquisition costs skyrocket. In an emergency, many turn to customer retention…  but without a strategy. Or even worse, they decide to start with the tech. The result: programs that cost more than they bring in. ROI comes into play as part of a loyalty strategy. And it begins with your data, customer behaviours, and business objectives.

Finding answers is in our DNA.

Where should you get started to develop a loyalty program?

Start with strategy, not technology. We start with understanding customer behaviours, defining business objectives, and validating the profitability of the program before choosing a platform. 

How much time does it take to launch a loyalty program?

It all depends on the program’s level of complexity and the technological ecosystem. A well-structured program can be launched in a few months.

What type of loyalty program works best?

The one that brings real value to your customers and your business. With or without points, subscription-based, premium program… We don’t believe in one universal formula, but in customization. 

Do I need to choose the technology before defining the terms of my loyalty program?

No. The technology should support the strategy, not determine it. Choosing a tool too early limits your options and can lead to a poorly adapted program.

How do I ensure that my loyalty program will be adopted by customers?

By creating perceived value that’s powerful, uncomplicated, and clear, and by structuring the customer experience (CX) so that the program is naturally integrated into the customer journey.
