Membership levels based upon the amount a <\/span>customer<\/span> spends are the most common form of <\/span>loyalty<\/span> program. The appeal of a <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> like this is that it motivates customers to climb the <\/span>loyalty<\/span> ladder to reap even bigger and better rewards. Behavior scientists explain that the reasoning behind this phenomenon is because it reinforces achievements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sephora, for instance, starts customers with the Beauty Insider Program. VIB (Very Important Beauty) status arrives when a <\/span>customer<\/span> spends $350 in a calendar year and spending $1000 in a calendar year awards <\/span>the loyal<\/span> customer<\/span> with the much sought-after Rouge Status.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, according to a recent study, 79% of customers don\u2019t want points to accumulate now for benefits later<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span>. Instead, shoppers are clamoring for instant benefits in the form of immediate discounts on their <\/span>purchase<\/span> (53%) and faster shipping (51%). Savvy retailers are updating their <\/span>customer loyalty<\/span> programs to increase <\/span>customer satisfaction<\/span> and ensure <\/span>customer retention<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Profitability of Keeping \u2018Em Coming Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The lure of <\/span>loyalty<\/span> cards remains the same since its inception: it\u2019s more cost efficient to retain an <\/span>existing customer<\/span> than it is to acquire a <\/span>new customer<\/span>. Consumer data clearly backs up this strategy:<\/span> 84% of consumers say<\/span> they\u2019re more apt to stick with a brand that offers a <\/span>loyalty program<\/span>2<\/sup><\/span>. And 66% of consumers say the abi<\/span>lity to earn <\/span>customer<\/span> rewards<\/span> actually changes their spending behavior<\/span>3<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starbucks is often cited as a gold standard when it comes to implementing a <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> and with good reason. Members of its <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> brew up 40% of the chains\u2019 revenue. Further, of users who regularly use a mobile app, <\/span>48% of them use <\/span>the one created by Starbucks<\/span>4<\/sup><\/span>! With 16 million active users, Starbucks\u2019 loyalty program not only boosts order frequency, but also the average order size. <\/span>According to Starbucks CFO Patrick Grismer, \u201cw<\/span>e know from our experience that when customers join our <\/span>rewards program<\/span>, their total spend with Starbucks increases meaningfully\u201d<\/span>5<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 Benefits of Implementing a Loyalty Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Creating a solid <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> reaps the same benefits as creating an unforgetting brand:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Boosts Sales \u2013 <\/b>Loyal customers spend 67% more than their non-member counterparts<\/span> and 49% report spending more after joining a program<\/span>6,7<\/sup><\/span>. For instance, at Athleta, loyal customers spend twice as much with the athletic apparel firm compared to non-<\/span>loyalty<\/span> members and 50% of its sales come from its <\/span>loyalty program<\/span>, according to <\/span>Chief Digital Officer Kim Waldmann<\/span>8<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Cements <\/b>Loyalty<\/b> \u2013 <\/b>A<\/span> loyalty program<\/span> is a crucial <\/span>customer retention<\/span> strategy.<\/span> In addition to previously mentioned data, 73% of survey respondents reported that they shopped more with retailers with which they have a <\/span>reward program<\/span> membership.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Builds Referrals<\/b> \u2013 88% <\/span>of premium <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> members are likely to recommend a retailer with valuable benefits to a family member or friend. Retailers also can sweeten the opportunity for referrals by adding in an incentive. Leisure brand, Lively, for example, awards 100 <\/span>reward <\/span>points<\/span> to the referring person and a $10 coupon to the shopper referred.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Creates Word-Of-Mouth Buzz \u2013 <\/b>With the advent of <\/span>social media<\/span>, customers enjoy sharing their unboxings, products, and perks with followers. In essence, a happy <\/span>customer<\/span> is a vocal <\/span>customer<\/span>.
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Transforms Shoppers into <\/b>Brand Advocates<\/b> \u2013 <\/b>Creating raving fans who tout your benefits is a free form of <\/span>relationship marketing<\/span>. A successful <\/span>reward program<\/span> not only reinforces the <\/span>purchase<\/span> decision for an <\/span>existing customer<\/span> but can also bring a <\/span>new customer<\/span> (or customers) into the fold.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Increases <\/b>Customer Engagement<\/b> \u2013 <\/b>Customer loyalty program<\/span> members are more open to receiving emails, opening emails, and engaging with the retailer whether through their website or <\/span>loyalty app<\/span>. Starbucks customers, for example, feel engaged with its annual free birthday drink.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Rewards of Rethinking Your Loyalty Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Retailers typically reward loyal customers with perks, discounts, and\/or free products. Athleta broke this model by introducing AthletaWell, a digital community for content, as well as a partnership with Ob\u00e9 for exclusive virtual workouts. In other words, it went beyond the closet to create better engagement in a way that works with current consumer safety concerns rather than against them.<\/span><\/p>\n

    By contrast, Lululemon Athletica kicked up sales 23% to $916 million in the third quarter of 2020 thanks in part to its <\/span>loyalty program<\/span>9<\/sup><\/span>. Similar to Athleta, it offers exclusive workouts for its premium <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> members, but they must attend classes in-store as opposed to online.<\/span><\/p>\n

    When it comes to benefits, <\/span>customer<\/span> needs and wants continue to evolve. <\/span>Whereas in 2019 42% of customers wanted early access to sales, today that number has jumped to 60%. Exclusive offers and tailored reco<\/span>mmendations are also critical to winning shoppers\u2019 heart and purse strings.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Leveraging BOPIL\u00ae to Boost Loyalty Enrollment & Success<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    A successful <\/span>customer loyalty program<\/span> starts with the sign-up process. It must be quick, easy, and simple to understand with the immediate benefits delineated. Matching the enrollment offer with the right channel remains key. For example, in-store shoppers should be offered the opportunity to enroll at checkout versus sending them online. By the same token, mobile shoppers should be incentivized to join the <\/span>loyalty<\/span> community on their smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Retailers can leverage the power of a retail <\/span>pick up locker<\/span><\/a> \u2013 such as Buy Online, Pick-up in Locker (BOPIL) by Parcel Pending \u2013 to incentivize <\/span>loyalty<\/span> as customers retrieve their BOPIS orders. Since the research is clear that<\/span> 61% of all customers<\/span><\/a> make an additional <\/span>purchase<\/span> when retrieving an online order in-store, this is the perfect opportunity to invite new members into a <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> with a discount<\/span>10<\/sup><\/span>. <\/span>Plus, with BOPIL, retailers can integrate their <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> into their associate and customer-facing workflows, providing better tracking for order pick-ups and returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

    With consumers continuing to try new brands, now is the time to implement or adapt your <\/span>loyalty program<\/span> to meet changing <\/span>customer <\/span>behavior<\/span> . Integrating your <\/span>customer loyalty program<\/span> with retail solutions like BOPIL allows you to increase your customer lifetime value. <\/span>To find out how you can\u00a0 maximize customer lifetime value within your customer base, check out our related blog post with post purchase experience<\/a> tips to implement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
