Just as a steaming cup of coffee or a mouth-watering appetizer can transform a mundane moment into a delight, customer loyalty programs from brands such as Starbucks and TGI Fridays are transforming the consumer market landscape.
Their secret recipe?
Personalization, operational efficiency, and convenience blended to perfection.

- Relationship building. These brands have successful loyalty programs that emphasize customer lifetime value (CLV), which predicts the net profit from a brand’s future relationship with a customer.
