- Increase Transactions – keeping top of mind and rewarding customers increases touchpoints and the opportunity to do business with them.
- Increase Spend – since you’ve already broken the trust barrier, current customers will spend more money with you… putting a system in place to reward them is critical.
- Create Connections – rewarding a customer for sharing their testimonial is the best word-of-mouth marketing you can ever invest in.
- Connect/Leverage Data – by understanding what motivates your customers, you’re able to personalize offerings that you know they’ll be interested in.
