Building a robust loyalty program is a goal that every company should establish, regardless of whether they are looking to create one or have an existing program.
Customers want real-time and personalized engagement, especially more so in a subscription service or a loyalty program. This is due to the fact that these customers value the brand and are loyal to the business. They will notice if they aren’t receiving tailored customer experiences, as they would elsewhere from another business, and the business runs the risk of losing a key brand advocate.
Understanding the consumer base necessitates a thorough understanding of their first-party data and the MarTech tools incorporated into the tech stack to help acquire this knowledge.
Here are some ideas for how companies can make their most loyal customers feel special and help them remain updated with their base.
Personalized Notifications Should Be Sent
It can be challenging to walk the line between being informative and being pushy, but taking the time to tailor these messages to the interests of the consumers, such as notifying them about purchasing decisions they need to make and highlighting services or products that fit their profile, helps make this distinction. When a consumer joins a subscription service or a loyalty program and isn’t adequately informed of the program’s windows of opportunity, the program loses a lot of credibility in its eyes.

Send Them Notifications of Exclusive Deals Based On Their Purchasing Habits
Everyone enjoys a good deal, and getting one that is unique to them is even better. Businesses must design personalized offerings that reflect the interests of their most loyal customers in order to make them feel valued. Even better, they can align their online and offline behaviors. This demonstrates to the customers that they are not only valuable but also worthy of making an extra effort.
Inform Them of the Number of Loyalty Points They Have Earned
Showing how members of the loyalty program can use their points to get offers and merchandise they genuinely want will help establish the company’s commitment to getting its customers the best deal and awareness of their preferences. Promoting the use of points helps customers remember the benefits of the loyalty program and makes them feel good about their purchases.
In order to create a robust loyalty program, businesses will need to:

Link Offline and Online Data
Businesses should integrate with a CDP so that they can monitor consumer interests and develop tailored experiences for them even when they are interacting with them offline. Businesses need to show that they care about their customers by getting to know them and what they want.
Add External Identifiers to The Customer Records
Businesses must get to know their most loyal customers wherever they interact with them in order to provide an experience worthy of them. Knowing them entails being able to recognize them in a range of contexts and having access to deep intelligence on the customer relationship. Organizations can target their top customers with a consistent experience across a range of channels when they fill their view of the consumer with external identifiers.
Developing identity management skills that work well across channels is the key to creating a customer experience that is truly different from that of the competition. Additionally, by including external identifiers, companies can more effectively target their top customers while also gaining deeper customer insights.
Personalization efforts, which can range from minor tweaks to substantial improvements, will demonstrate the brand’s commitment to its most loyal customers and motivate them to stay loyal.
