Unleash the power of your Loyalty Card
The truly scarce resources now are the time, the talent, and the energy of the people in your organization
A loyalty card is not just about trying to reward your customers for their Loyalty !!
It actually gives you an opportunity to bring them online so you can start communicating to them before their next purchase .
Just as a quick exercise ,could you put a number to the amount of customers that come into your store every week that you dont have any details for or any channel to contact them .
Now think about what you could do if you could pre-sell them products . What packages would they go for ?
Being able to communicate an offer before they come in store takes all the pressure off the instant purchase . How many customers get flustered when you make them an offer at the till with a queue behind them – yep its too late now maybe next time . Knowing they come in every Thursday means have an offer ready on Tues on what they like or need and arm them before reaching the door .
So you know from your data that 200 customers bought IRFU hats last year on special .Its 6 nations weekend what kind of offer have you sent them this year what use have you made of this data ?
Your customer comes in every week and buys the same products .What special offer can you make him before he comes in-store that will compliment his purchase ?
Your customer buys products that are consumed in say 1 month like toothpaste what can you add to this product to make a special offer just before replenishment takes place ? This is a reason to talk dont wast it
How much thought have you put into your customers next purchase or do you just leave it to chance ?
Knowing the When,Where and How of all your customers is like being able to see into the future and make judgement on it
It gives you opportunities to do so much. Use the data wisely and build loyalty,trust and conversions .
What is your customers replenishment cycle ?
