WHY LOYALTY AS A

Why Loyalty
Rewarding customers for their loyalty is no longer a case of if or why, but rather a case of how and when.
A carefully crafted loyalty strategy can deliver the following outcomes for your business: Drive customer retention – Say thanks to your valued
customers and give them a reason to say no to the competition.
Get more business from customers – A way to grow share of wallet from existing customers.
Enrich your communication strategy – A points balance
enables you to send personal and relevant communications to your customers around your products, services and promotions. It’s like having a silent 24/7 salesperson.
Add value to your acquisition strategy and create a real point of difference in a world of discounts and rebates.
Visualisation of your end customer – Understand customer preferences with the data, intelligence and unique insights created through loyalty solutions.
Create an emotional connection with your customer and
realise the benefits from giving tangible rewards, which have a much higher perceived value than cash (i.e discounts and rebates).
Proven R.O.I by utilising a business tool that does not cost you until the customer has the desired behaviour.

“
We collect a bunch of points from a number of our suppliers and we have used them on all kinds of rewards. From Lasik eye surgery to Fitbit’s, from fridge freezers to iPhones... all we do is ring them up and tell them what we want…simple really!! The programme certainly keeps me loyal to my suppliers.

OUR
LOYALTY COALITIONS Coalition loyalty programmes are highly successful the world over. Your customers can generate rewards from your business and other businesses that they choose to trade with. Coalitions have proven to generate a deeper sense of loyalty to the programme and ultimately your business. Smart Loyalty’s coalition loyalty experts will work with your business to build value from one of our existing coalition programmes, and ensure that your point of difference is always protected.
Our flagship coalition programme. The SmartTrade Rewards Programme was initially launched in 1997 to reward the construction and agricultural industries. We have successfully integrated the SmartTrade programme into these sectors and others by aligning with quality brands around a common customer database, delivering exceptional value to all stakeholders through customer retention & cross polination.
A world first for the Automotive Industry. Launched in 2007, GetGenuine makes it easy for over 6,000 mechanical and panel repairers to turn their business spend into personal rewards by purchasing genuine parts from the most prominent vehicle manufacturers in New Zealand and Australia. GetGenuine was a world-first and now features over 31 automotive brands in New Zealand and 300 dealerships. The reward programme has achieved 95% market saturation.

LETS TALK ABOUT
COALITION
LOYALTY.
OUR BESPOKE SOLUTIONS A bespoke loyalty programme offering incentives is a great way to drive performance across your sales channels. Strong relationships with your sales staff leads to long-term sales success. We listen, design and implement YOUR very own branded programme. We will work closely with your business to determine whether a coalition programme or a customised programme is best suited to your specific requirements. We will then design, build and operate every component of the loyalty programme from strategy and data analytics through to call centre services and sourcing rewards.
Customised solutions for New Zealand Window Shades. This is a unique programme where employees of retailers selling Luxaflex and Rufflette products are provided with an incentive to strongly endorse these brands to the consumer. This long standing programme continues to deliver beyond its target ROI, by providing an exclusive point of difference in a highly competitive marketplace.
Star Rewards A customised solution for Mercedes-Benz. Star Rewards is an industry-first programme developed for Mercedes-Benz to incentivise front line sales and service staff to achieve specific targets. Programme members are provided with a visually engaging web platform, where they can monitor their performance against their KPI’s, and complete reward fulfilment with the click of a button.
A customised solution for Power Farming Group (PFG) Australia. We have provided the planning, infrastructure and ongoing support for the PFG Rewards loyalty programme. Our customer analysis determined that Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer fulfilment platform would best suit the requirements of Power Farming’s customers. Leveraging off this platform is now helping PFG achieve their business objectives through a growing and loyal customer base.

What we do
HOW
WE DO IT Retain Customers Recognising and rewarding your customers, combined with targeted, relevant and personal communications is a major component of the loyalty strategy with proven results.
Why does it work? It’s the law of reciprocity. If you give freely, that person is more inclined
to give back. In this way, a loyalty programme creates a deeper sense of customer loyalty than any product or service alone. It costs your customers nothing to participate. Our partnership provides your business with an edge, making it less likely that you will lose customers to your competitors.
Attract New Customers In today’s world it is not enough to just have competitive pricing, quality products and good
service. The customer wants to know “what’s in it for me?”. They want something that comes without strings attached and that has real value. Our programmes create that point of difference. How? The ability to give your customer control of the choice of their reward (Dream Rewards) can
make all the difference when attracting new customers. Working with Smart Loyalty to pull together a compelling offer and using our marketing tools to present the offer well has been proven to change buyer behaviour and start customers down the path of trading with your business for value rather than price. This is especially powerful when your offer is viewed as similar in value to other competing offers. Smart Loyalty has thousands of businesses (who are programme members) on its database which can, where appropriate, be targeted as “low hanging fruit” to do business with.
Grow Customers Overall Our programmes work like a silent salesperson when you are not in front of your customers.
Studies show that customers purchasing similar products, with the option of where to purchase or what credit card to use, will focus on the reward element in making their purchasing decision. By growing a personal attachment to their rewards programme, customers feel more positive about trading with your business.

When we recently needed to replace 37 monitors in our call centre we were able to use our reward points to purchase all of them. We have also been using points to book all of our air travel. If you are not currently part of the SmartTrade experience, I highly recommend it. The more partners you jump on board with, the more points you will receive! Simply brilliant!

The GetGenuine programme has exceeded our expectations. The members of the programme are some of our most engaged. Their points earning and redemption behaviour indicates they find the programme rewarding. Once members have redeemed points, their earning behaviour increases as they appreciate the benefits of the Qantas Frequent Flyer programme.

CASE STUDY Ford New Zealand wanted to grow parts sales to trade mechanics and panel shops throughout New Zealand. We designed and implemented a campaign whereby the trade received a 20% stretch target over their prior year purchases. If they hit the target, they received triple reward points. GetGenuine delivered the entire promotion through a combination of electronic and direct mail channels to thousands of customers. Over 42% of spending customers achieved the target. A great result.
