You may asking “Why the hell should I have a loyalty program in my shop?” Well, if you are asking, there are several reasons for that. Implementing a loyalty program may require resources you have allocated elsewhere in your marketing, but in the long run, it can have several benefits, and here are just some of them.

1. It strengthens the relationship with existing customers

Many people carry in their head the thought that loyal program must be expensive and elaborate. But what is the truth? Chasing after new customers and compete with other companies instead of keeping existing ones can be crazily expensive. According to Forbes, keeping an existing customer is seven times less expensive than acquiring a new one. That is a huge save if you want to cut down budget as much as you can.

Loyal programs quite simply enhance customer loyalty, and everyone want to save money. That’s why the whole spend-a-dollar, earn-a-point tactic works amazing, especially when customers see the achievable reward after a reasonable amount of like (aka they don’t have to collect for 12 years to get one $5 thing free).

2. It helps increase sales

If you’re giving your reoccurring customers incentives that are in tune with what they want, you’ll be drawing them in and encouraging them to keep coming back and of course, spending money.

One research showed that only 10-12% of your loyal customer contribute 55-70% to total sales. This means that over half of your sales are coming from a small percentage of your customers, so nurturing these relationships is unquestionably important. Reward points extension can help do this by increasing that number of repeat customers visit your online store and also increasing the number of repeat purchases.

3. It attracts new customers

Tell me how much money you spend to acquire a new customer. Although traditional marketing tactics aren’t obsolete, it’s important to think about what would happen if you took even a small portion of what you spend on the traditional media and put it towards this Magento exntension. Just a small amount of what you spend to get new customers, you are able to keep hundred of existing customers.

62% of consumers don’t believe that brands are doing enough to reward them for their loyalty, which increases the chances of these consumers to change their customers activities. Give customers a reason to stay and make them feel like you care! New customers will look at how you treat with the customers that you already have. And with that, we’ll all be happy, right?
