How to build customer loyalty
How to build customer loyalty
This is really the vital question. The customer incentives need to be structured right in order to maximize the revenue they bring to the companies.
Customer incentive programs are not new; they have been around for 100's of years. In the 1930's stamps were given to customers with purchases from certain merchants and were redeemed after they had collected up to a specified value. In the 1960's supermarkets started giving straight discounts to their consumers. It is currently estimated that over 50% of the population use at least one customer incentive program, and many do not spend unless there is some kind of incentives program involved in their spending. According to some analysts U.S. companies spend more than $1.2 billion on customer incentives programs.
Consumer’s perspectives on customer incentive programs play a very important role in whether they are profitable and successful. Customer incentive programs are on the rise, the market used to be cornered by airlines credit card companies and hotel rooms, but recently many other companies have found ways to use customer incentive programs.
Customer incentives when used right can generate loyal consumers and attract new ones. One thing that is clear is that these customer incentive programs need to offer incentives based on consumers spending habits and profitability.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
