Customer loyalty and rewards programmes are widely recognised as effective business retention strategies. In fact, loyalty programme members are 70% more likely to make a repeat purchase from a brand with a loyalty programme. A majority of Millennials (81%) have also said that being a member of a loyalty programme incentivises them to spend more with a brand.
It is widely recognised that it costs significantly less for businesses to sell to their existing customers compared to acquiring new ones. Many brands have invested in loyalty and rewards programmes to incentivise their customers to remain loyal to their brand and continue making purchases.
Although customer loyalty programmes can be highly effective, simply implementing a programme is not enough to guarantee success. Some loyalty programmes still struggle to achieve their desired results. This is why some businesses have taken innovative approaches to shake things up and revamp their loyalty programmes to inspire customer loyalty better.
These businesses have shown that breaking away from traditional loyalty programme structures and offering unique and personalised rewards can inspire greater customer loyalty and increase revenue growth.

Yummies4mummies incorporates store credits into its loyalty programme for its members, offering benefits whenever its members can earn points through purchases and referrals, which can be redeemed for discounts and free shipping.
