The Travel Club Effect

Managing rewards

Cholesterol lowering
programme
Selecting the best
The launch of a new Strategic
Marketing Plan was aimed
at increasing both value
for users and profitability
for sponsor companies,
including Repsol (energy),
Eroski (retail), Banco Sabadell
(banking) and the airline
Iberia. The supporting metrics
demonstrated that the
Travel Club Effect campaign
achieved both these
objectives.
The UK’s first supermarket
unlimited cashback credit
card, the Asda Money Credit
Card offered customers
real value in the form of a
straightforward card with
generous and inclusive
rewards. Customer insight
was used to develop an
engaging product with
outstanding acquisition and
ongoing spend results and
increased customer loyalty.
“Shop&Win” was launched
to reward cardholders and
leverage merchant sales
volume without jeopardising
the programme’s P&L. Taking
into consideration a market in
recession, austerity measures,
decreased disposable income
and consumers reluctance
to use credit cards, the
“Shop&Win” programme has
been a great success.
The programme used Nectar
customer data to create a
CRM programme which
increased awareness of the
cholesterol testing program
in Sainsbury’s and promoted
Flora’s pro.activ products
with the aim of increasing
sales and average spend per
customer. Results included
increases in share of wallet,
incremental revenue and
repeat purchase rates.
Upgrading 500,000
Nationwide customers to
the new Select card was
their largest migration
ever. Product cross holding
segmentation, a great
card offer and excellent
communications made the
job go seamlessly. Now they
are reaping the rewards,
with spending up very
substantially and dormancy
rates slashed.

The SUBCARD 2012 Loyalty
programme
Life is hard enough when
returning from summer
vacation. So, Air Miles Middle
East decided to create a
campaign that would make
‘post holiday blues’ spending
that little bit easier. They
encouraged their members
that spending upfront could
save a lot more down the line,
by offering an exciting, truly
special rewards.
Leveraging Boots
Advantage Card data and
communication channels and
Clinique’s expert customer
service at their in-store
beauty counters enabled
the development of a highly
targeted, customer-centric
CRM programme which
generated long term value
for both parties and a great
customer experience.
The Nectar Business CRM
Mailing Solution was
designed to provide a
cost-effective channel for
Dulux Decorator Centres
to manage the customer
journey for both Nectar
and non-Nectar customers.
The highly targeted direct
mailings resulted in excellent
engagement amongst all
customers driving significant
redemptions and incremental
spend.
L’Occitane has invested in
new Comarch IT tools in order
to refine its CRM strategy
resulting in replacement
of mass marketing by
personalised and eventtriggered communications
for existing customers and
an enhanced welcome
approach for new customers
designed to build long-term
relationships.
SUBWAY used the SUBCARD®
points-based card loyalty
programme to deliver
a positive 3:1 Return on
Investment, an additional
£6.6 million in sales revenue
and enough foot long Sub
sandwiches to stretch from
London to Newcastle – all in
less than 12 months.

Why customer loyalty is
blooming for Daisy

“Picking points” is an
alternative delivery option
for merchandise rewards
that gives the customer
freedom and makes rewards
easier to achieve. Customers
get 400 point bonus and
better customer service. The
programme results in higher
redemptions, increased
customer satisfaction and
lower costs.
The Avios Customer Contact
Centre supports customers
in the Avios UK programme
(previously Airmiles).
During 2012 the Contact
Centre played a key role in
supporting the launch and
growth of the Avios brand
and in maintaining high
levels of customer service in a
period of transition.
In the UK private medical
insurance market, customer
loyalty is under severe strain,
with many policyholders
leaving the market. In
2012 AXA-PPP launched a
loyalty programme through
reinventing their customer
service; transforming an
insurance service into
a health service – from
diagnosis, treatment,
rehabilitation, through to
supporting policyholders
when healthy.

objectives: more discounts,
more service, more local

to convey an educational
content (the Smurfs show the
kids how to save our planet).
On the occasion of their 50th
anniversary, Conad wished
to return benefits to the
community including help for
local schools.
The MySchool/MyVillage/
MyPlanet programme
is both a multi-partner
loyalty programme and a
CSR initiative that helps
corporate partners invest
their funds. The best part is
that customers help decide
where to invest, and in return
generate incremental sales

encouraged their members
that spending upfront could
save a lot more down the line,

based in Northern and

programme has proved to be
a great solution to managing
both customer and partner
expectations as it has
introduced crowdsourcing as
part of its growth strategy
and recorded double digit
annual growth.
After re-launching the
Executive Club in 2011, the
focus in 2012 was to drive
growth through acquisition
and increased engagement
amongst members. In twelve
months over one million new
members were enrolled and
the active base grew by 11%, a
remarkable achievement for
such a mature programme.

Fun Finder: the new loyalty
programme powered by Last
Second Tickets
Euro 2012 Trading Card
Collection
Yellow Box
Launched January 2012, this
programme exceeded all
pre-launch expectations
and now has over 170,000
registered, active members.
Customers in store receive
exclusive member discounts
and automatic entry in to
‘buy, swipe, win’ competitions,
whilst also collecting points
to redeem on treats such as
family days, gift cards and
cinema tickets.
eBay and Nectar worked
together to seamlessly
integrate Nectar into eBay UK
developing the infrastructure
to deliver the programme
and executing an integrated
launch to excite and engage.
The results were resoundingly
positive: within the first
three months of launch five
transactions per second were
earning Nectar points on
eBay.co.uk.
Fun Finder is a loyalty
programme that provides
Orange customers with
personalised recommendations
for events they’ll love. A wide
range of discounted tickets
are sourced from over 10,000
venues across the UK including
Music, Sports, Theatre, Family,
Comedy and Festivals.
REWE’s objective was to
increase turnover and
average basket spend and
improve brand image. As
a sponsor of the German
national football team (DFB)
REWE was also keen to
maximise this association
during the Euro 2012
Championships and so they
implemented a promotion
where customers received
free packs of DFB trading
cards.
Yellow Box is the newest
loyalty and reward
programme of Turkcell,
launched in October 2012.
This is a programme for
all customers which have
been with them for longer
than one year. According to
subscription length, their
customers can get different
types of rewards within this
programme.

Euro 2012 Smurf Figurines
Charity linked VIP Rewards
Programme
The UK’s first supermarket
unlimited cashback credit
card, the Asda Money Credit
Card offered customers
real value in the form of a
straightforward card with
generous and inclusive
rewards. Customer insight
was used to develop an
engaging product with
outstanding acquisition and
ongoing spend results and
increased customer loyalty.
EDEKA wanted to increase
overall turnover and average
basket spend in its stores,
along with raising general
awareness and ‘likeability’.
So in summer 2012, working
with TCC, EDEKA ran a
campaign positioned around
the EURO 2012 football
championship. Customers
were rewarded for shopping
in-store by receiving free
special edition Euro 2012
Smurf figurines.
Membership of the VIP –
Very Important Pets – Club
is based on pet information,
ensuring customer
engagement is targeted
and relevant. Points earned
benefit animal charities. No
other loyalty programme
offers such a blend of
personalised information
targeted to customer needs
along with an emotional
connection and benefit to
animal charities.
Beefeater
Beefeater Grill Reward Club
Launched in March 2012,

with Grass Roots, The Reward
