Planning to introduce new loyalty programs for your customers in 2025? You may want to consider the ones listed below in this blog.
We have witnessed significant changes in the loyalty program landscape in recent years. Digitization changed a lot of things a few years ago and now the rise of AI and Machine Learning technologies is reshaping the way customer loyalty works. Gone are the days when a huge newspaper ad could convince your consumers.
A new age of business has emerged and it has been bringing remarkable changes in every aspect of modern marketing ethics. When information is easily accessible everywhere, you can’t sit back and wait for your consumers to knock on your door.
You need to be one step ahead to maintain long-term consumer loyalty. The line between the public and private sectors is slowly evaporating and everyone from SMEs to big corporate honchos are trying to introduce new and technologically advanced loyalty programs to attract their consumers.
The future looks innovative and if you are planning to introduce a new set of loyalty programs for your consumers then you must check the following 5 trends.
1. Transcendental Consumer Experience
New-age consumers don’t want to purchase a product, they want to experience it at a personal level. Lives are moving at dizzying speeds and people tend to forget things that aren’t right in front of their eyes.
Being present and constant in day to day life has become important and consumers want to be addressed as the same person by the brand across all channels of communication. Brands have started realizing the fact that they need to become their client’s friend through their e-commerce, social media pages, and loyalty platforms.
You need to count each and every available information about your consumers and create a personalized out-of-this-world experience that will make them feel special and eventually, it becomes easy for them to remember you.
2. Careful Utilization of Visual
Every social media platform has started its own live–streaming services. Be it X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, or Instagram. Visuals will surely replace the static mode of communication in the foreseeable future. But you need to utilize it carefully since the competition for scrolling content is getting fierce.
With ads popping up in almost every network, advertisers are living in a fear of ad fatigue. We recommend using short and crisp videos that don’t trouble the viewers.
3. Impact of Machine Learning
Currently, businesses are using machine learning for four different purposes. To create user-generated content, to build meaningful conversation with consumers, to predict consumer behavior and to help consumers find products.
With a rapid generation of data and the capability of massive computing power, machine learning has become the most useful way to detect anomalies. Machine learning is very useful to gather appropriate data, and introduce personalized reward points for your consumers. It helps gather accurate information in real time.
4. Instant Rewards Points
We know alerts are annoying but no one can deny the impact of reward point texts from their favorite shopping destination. Millennials and Gen Z people are not just looking for high-quality products, but also good experiences.
They always tend to question the traditional ways and prefer notifications more than calls on their phones. For example, a push notification to remind insurance renewal is necessary but 20% cashback along with the renewal is an attractive prospect.
5. Travel Experience as Reward Point
Just go through recent promotional offers by 10 different brands, and you will find at least four of them offering luxury gateways to their consumers.
Millennials and Gen Z people are experimental in nature and they are always ready to explore a new place. Traveling has become easier than before and short city breaks appeal to consumers more than cash reward points.
