Loyalty for sale: everybody's doing frequency marketing - but only a few companies are doing it well
Article Abstract:
Frequency marketing has become a much more common marketing tool, as many companies have adopted programs that cater to preferred or repeat customers, but many of these programs fail to achieve, or even properly set, their goals. Reward systems must provide consumers with a substantive reward without creating too much of a financial burden. Many companies fail to properly target customer retention and fail to distinguish between loyal customers and repeat customers.
