There are many reasons why customer loyalty programs fail, but the overarching reason is that they fail when they are launched as a hygiene factor, just to tick the box. If an ROI is not worked out before launching a program, one does not discover the levers that would be critical for it, and that leaves the program vulnerable to floating in limbo and consequent failure.

Challenges during loyalty program

Defining goals:

Most companies that initiate a loyalty program do so to drive purchase frequency, spend and brand advocacy, yet many programs fail to accomplish those goals. Part of the reason for that is because the program may not have a clearly defined connection between those stated goals and what they’ll actually look like. Before launching a loyalty program, brands need to determine exactly what behaviors they want to drive with the program, and how they’ll define success in terms of those behaviors. Enrollment alone and occasional points redemption aren’t enough; to be truly successful, a program must fully engage customers.

Understanding member interactions:

Typically, organizations that are satisfied with their loyalty program’s results use more channels to communicate the value of their program to customers, research by Forrester Consulting indicates. Those satisfied with their programs used 8.8 channels, while dissatisfied loyalty marketers used just 5.9. Using more touchpoints also enhances an organization’s ability to actually drive consumer behaviors through its loyalty program.

Managing data and data quality:

Loyalty programs generate and use massive quantities of data related to customer demographics and behaviors. Crunching all that data can be a challenge, yet turnkey solutions like Deluxe Rewards can overcome typical data-related obstacles. Effectively managing data means loyalty marketers can be more successful in identifying behaviors to reward, what kind of rewards to offer, the frequency of rewards, and even how to tier members to further engage those who are only minimally engaged, and to deepen the relationship with those who are fully engaged.

Creating successful rewards initiatives:

You can reward virtually any kind of behavior. The trick to success is in identifying the behaviors that will have the greatest impact on your stated objectives, and providing relevant, desirable rewards to drive those behaviors.

Measuring ROI:

Loyalty marketers consistently point to measuring ROI as one of their greatest challenges. After all, if you can’t show the decision-makers who hold the purse strings the dollar value of this year’s loyalty program, it will be difficult to secure the budget you need to make next year’s program more successful.
