Loyalty programs have been a go-to for businesses to provide a value add, retain customers, and increase sales. You cannot help but see loyalty programs in any company you visit nowadays. Whether it’s an email coupon, a discount code, using a card to earn points on purchases, or using your phone number tied to a membership program!

Loyalty programs have the ultimate “IT” factor and always will – they won’t be disappearing anytime soon! The philosophy and driving force behind it are pretty simple:

• Repeat customers are rewarded, and businesses increase sales
• New customers feel there is a value add and companies create recent sales

Did you know: A repeat customer spends 67 percent more on a given purchase than a new customer does! Therefore they should be rewarded for their continual purchases – and retaining customers is less costly than acquiring new ones! 

Loyalty programs are an easy way for businesses to thank their customers and, in turn, are a motivator for customers to become brand ambassadors. They are loyal to the brand, stand behind the products, and will share with their friends and family – increasing your reach to potential new customers.

Attracting new customers has always been challenging. It can take a lot of resources to do it effectively! It costs the average business 6-7 times more to acquire a new customer than retaining a current one. 

However, loyalty programs can help attract new business (and new money). As new customers make their way through the “sales journey,”. It provides a value-add to a new customer and can help narrow their options or sway their choice, to purchase from your company.

Another good point for increasing your bottom line – is loyalty programs don’t have to cost a fortune (thus keeping money in the bank!).
