What do we know about the modern customer?
Customers today have access to an unlimited amount of information online making them less brand loyal in certain industries. But research shows they still actively respond to and desire being valued and rewarded.
A recent study shows that the average person touches their phone 2,617 times a day (dscout research). Connecting with your customer now requires their mobile device to be an integral part of the relationship you forge with them.
Bringing your loyalty programme into the mobile age ensures capturing, and keeping, your best customers.
Let’s take a look at the facts:
- 49% of consumers will gladly switch brands for a coupon
- 64% of retailers with a mobile loyalty rewards program say it has become the best way to retain consumers
- 73% of smartphone users have shown interest in using mobile loyalty programs, and 62% of smartphone users say they’d have a better attitude of a retailer if it offered a digital loyalty program
These powerful figures tell a clear story. In order to attract and maintain the modern customer it will become increasingly important to reward them through their phones.
