Brand Loyalty
LOYALTY MARKETING
“the effort to identify, maintain and increase sales of loyal customers through a long-term, interactive, value added relationship that is beneficial to both the client and the business.”
- Colloquy
EXAMPLES of Loyalty Marketing
• Airline Frequent Flier Programs• Hotel Rewards• Pharmacy, Grocery & Retail Store
Discount Cards• Credit Card Reward/Cash Back
Programs
Loyalty Marketing permeates almost every type of business to consumer (B2C) relationship that exists in the market place today. There are very few industries that do not have formalized loyalty marketing programs. Don’t believe us? Just check your keychain and wallet and look how many programs you belong to…
Loyalty Marketing & Your Company
Did you know?
• A new customer costs ($) about 6X as much as retaining a current one.
With that in mind:
• How do you define a loyal customer?
• Who are your customers?
• If you could increase your percentage of loyal clients based on your definition by 5, 10, 15% year after year - how much would that be worth?

How You SHOULD Perceive Your Vacationers
EVERYONE HAS VALUE!
What Should You Want From Loyal Guests?
• Data: Information on their likes, dislikes, booking patterns, etc.
• Advocacy: Loyal guests should be your most vocal advocates
• Dialogue: An open line of two-way communications
• Sales: Loyal guests will return time and time again
What Guests Want In Exchange
Value Proposition:
‘The promise you are
making in exchange
for something of fair
value’
Yes, your guests will want something in return for their loyalty – something beyond your homes, customer service and other amenities – remember, the definition of brand loyalty – we want them to choose you when other options remain equal.
What you give in exchange for loyalty will be your ‘value statement’. You will need to show your guests that their loyalty will be rewarded by you in one way, shape or form.
What Will You Give In Return For Loyalty?
• Members-Only Discounts/Privileges: Your guests want some form of ‘exclusivity’ that allows them to access to items that others do not have.
• Promotional Currency (Rewards): Guests can be rewarded with points for their loyalty which can be used for a variety of benefits.• Soft Benefits: Early check-in, late check-out,
special toll-free number, etc.• Hard Benefits: Discounts, give-a-ways, free trips
• Exclusive Tools: Make their vacation planning easier with easy to use tools
• Dialogue: your clients want relevant dialogue that deals with directly with the information they provided you.
