Nectar or “call quit”
To answer we must understand• Why loyalty Programs?• Is Nectar a good Loyalty Program ?• Is Nectar the best investment option for Sainsbury?
Loyalty to whom ?? ….brand, products or low prices.
Customer benefit vis-à-vis margins
Is it really creating differentiation ??
A differentiating concept The strength of a Loyalty Program Concept lies in its ability
to establish relevance for target customers. Research studies have established that coalition programs
(or co-branded programs) tend to fare well in their ability to motivate desired customer behaviours.
Another finding has been with the relevance of rewards for customers, for example, contribution to a social cause.
Technological backing Analysts have indicated that successful realization of a CLP
Solution is influenced by a choice of technology. This mandates that a thorough analysis of an organization’s
needs along with an objective evaluation of solution options should precede a decision about a CLP Solution.
Defines evaluation parameters, as each evaluation situation is more likely to be unique.
