According to them, such projects break down into six phases: Enthusiasm, disillusionment, panic plus overtime, hunting down the guilty, sanctioning the innocent, praising the uninvolved. The fact that it can be done differently is rarely seen, but it does happen &#8211; provided that you call off the hunt for the guilty in favor of productive steps. But let&#8217;s take it one step at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, our project with a retail chain started enthusiastically. The company wanted to introduce a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Loyalty_program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">loyalty program<\/a>, including a customer card, advertising campaign and value-added offers, that stood out from the competition&#8217;s programs and tied consumers more closely to the brand. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consileon.de\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Consileon<\/a> supported the project from strategic planning and software development to pilot deployment of the loyalty card. But halfway through, the project team&#8217;s momentum visibly gave way to disillusionment. The competition was not sleeping, and their bonus programs were unexpectedly growing in membership. The added value of another loyalty card in the wallet could hardly be conveyed. In view of the costs incurred by then, it was only a stone&#8217;s throw to phase three: panic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of hunting down the culprits, however, our client decided on a more constructive fourth phase: a strategic change of course in the form of moving away from developing an individual solution to working with a specialist loyalty program provider. This also opened up the opportunity to expand the loyalty program to additional channels. The multi-channel approach includes the website, online presences, mobile apps, and interactive devices at the store locations. This also put an end to project phases five and six: innocent people were left untroubled, while the uninvolved had to earn their praise elsewhere. Instead, the true success story of the major project now began.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-promotion launched at the kiosk and combinations of offers from the retailer and the loyalty program provider bind regular customers more closely to the brand and motivate new customers to participate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":37320,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,88,76],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-publications-en","category-software-development-en","post_format-post-format-image"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Introducing Loyalty Programs in Retail | IT Consulting | Consileon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Loyalty program providers strengthen the loyalty of regular customers to the brand and motivate new customers to participate.
