Article Abstract:
The introduction of a loyalty branding scheme by UK homebuilder Westbury is an innovative example of marketing in the homebuilding sector. Westbury has introduced a range of home-related products and services which are marked with the Westbury logo and offered at discount prices to all Westbury homeowners. The market is waiting to see if the scheme is a success, although many other housebuilders are expected to follow suit and develop their own range of branded goods, which build on customer loyalty.
