Want to know the only thing the average American consumer loves in the summer more than Hot Dogs and Baseball? Loyalty Programs. In fact, the average American is enrolled in 17 loyalty programs. 🤯 You may think I'm bluffing, but think about it for a second—you'll probably be just as surprised as I was to find you're close to that number after you add up your favorite shops, airlines, and grocery delivery companies. Retailers everywhere are catching on to this trend by rolling out, revamping, or considering launching their own loyalty programs. Gartner estimates that one in three businesses without a loyalty program plans to create one by 2027. But why? The reason is simple: loyalty programs deliver immense value to consumers while enabling brands to gather critical first-party data. This data helps brands understand customer behavior and preferences, fueling their retail media networks and personalized marketing efforts that transform casual buyers into loyal advocates and significantly boost LTV. I had a chance to work alongside loyalty experts like Praveen Koushik Satyanarayana, Atimanas Biswal, and Tom Peace, Certified Loyalty Expert™ , to dive into what makes loyalty programs tick. Check out our thoughts, and let us know what you think! https://lnkd.in/eRZukqSV #martech #retailmarketing #loyaltyprograms #firstpartydata
I'm fairly sure I'm in at least 20 loyalty programs
It was a pleasure to contribute to this excellent report
I’m extremely loyal to loyalty programs 😂
I believe this number is more than that. Most places now auto enroll you via POS with mobile number.
You know how helpful this is for me 🙏 thanks Alec! 💳 ⭐️ ✈️ 🔁
