Why is Customer Loyalty Important?
Sales that come from loyalty members
Consumers who are more likely to choose a brand with a loyalty program over competitors
Loyalty program members who spend more money to maximize loyalty benefits
Build a Lasting Relationship
“When you have to work so hard to get new customers, you need to do everything you can to keep them coming back. Having a robust customer loyalty program can do just that. Loyalty is about having a relationship with your customers beyond points or discounts.
The focus of our work is to create and optimize loyalty programs that increase loyal customers and drive sales.”
– Sandra Bergman (Founder & CEO)

The ESBE Process
1
We’ll review where you are in your loyalty marketing program and where you’d like to be. Although you may be anxious to hit the ground running, this step is important to understand and set expectations. From this introductory meeting we’ll create a “discovery brief” describing what we heard. Also available is a performance audit of your program to confirm it’s working as expected, uncover new capabilities, and advise how to fix any issues.
2
Once we are aligned on your program and expectations, we’ll collect any of your existing graphic assets and copy or customer communications. From there we’ll put together a plan for your loyalty marketing program for your review and approval. Deliverables included in your customized plan will be dependent on whether you have an existing program or we are creating a new one.
3
Once the plan is approved it’s time to get busy! Per the plan, we’ll get the program setup (or optimized) on the Alpine IQ platform. Once complete, you will review and sign off on all platform configurations and customer comms created.
4
The success of any loyalty program starts with your staff and in-store execution. They will need to be trained how to promote the program, get people signed up and how to redeem points. And of course, the program needs to be promoted to your customers. We’ll provide the materials you need to successfully launch your program.
5
After we successfully launch your new loyalty program we offer a fully managed service to take the pressure off of you to manage the program. We align with your marketing & promotional calendar to create and execute all of your loyalty campaigns. To ensure ongoing success we monitor all of your program mechanics and provide a monthly performance report.
