If you’re not taking steps to design, build, and optimize a loyalty program, you could be leaving growth on the table. We’d love to #help you explore the 3 essential phases to make it work: 1️⃣ Design: Define your goals and create a compelling strategy. 2️⃣ Build: Integrate systems and deliver a seamless experience. 3️⃣ Manage & Optimize: Keep it fresh with data-driven updates and valuable rewards.
Building a Successful Loyalty Program: #Steps #Values #Benefits In today’s competitive market, a loyalty program is essential, not just for #rewards but for building trust, emotional connections, and lasting engagement. Whether starting fresh or refining an existing strategy, preparation is key. Here’s a look at the steps, benefits, and impact of launching a loyalty program. The 3 Phases of a Loyalty Program Journey 1. Design The foundation of any loyalty program lies in strategic preparation: • Project Start: Define clear goals and ensure organizational alignment. • Loyalty Marketing Strategy: Craft a roadmap for customer engagement tailored to your brand. • Business Case: Quantify potential ROI by analyzing customer lifetime value, potential uplift, and operational costs. • Detailed Loyalty Concept: Design a program that balances attractive rewards for customers and business sustainability. 🟢 Value: Clear alignment on business objectives ensures the program remains focused on measurable goals. 2. Build Here’s where ideas become reality: • Integration Services: Seamlessly connect the loyalty platform with existing CRM or e-commerce systems. • Platform Configuration: Customize features like point structures, reward tiers, and gamification elements. • Project Management: Coordinate cross-departmental efforts to ensure smooth execution. 🟢 Value: Strong technical infrastructure ensures the program operates efficiently and meets customer expectations. 3. Manage & optimize Once launched, the real work begins: • Rewards Management: Curate meaningful, relevant rewards to keep customers motivated. • Day-to-Day Program Optimization: Use real-time data to tweak offers and strategies, ensuring continuous engagement. • Customer Insights Analysis: Dive deep into customer data to understand patterns, preferences, and opportunities for growth. 🟢 Value: Ongoing management ensures that the program stays relevant and adaptable in a changing market. Benefits of loyalty programs 1. Increased Customer Retention: Loyal customers are more likely to return and spend more. 2. Higher Revenue: Repeat customers typically account for a large percentage of sales. 3. Stronger Customer Insights: A loyalty program provides invaluable data for refining marketing strategies. 4. Brand Advocacy: Happy, loyal customers become brand ambassadors. Consequences of Poor Planning: -> Without proper preparation, even the best intentions can backfire: • Low Engagement: Misaligned rewards and unclear structures discourage participation. • Technical Issues: Poorly integrated platforms lead to customer frustration. • Missed Opportunities: Without insights analysis, valuable data goes untapped. How is your organization preparing for the next level of customer loyalty? Let’s discuss it at Fan Apps! #LoyaltyProgram #CustomerEngagement #BusinessGrowth #RetentionMarketing #CustomerLoyalty #piccredit: DALLE-E

The power of #sports #niche communities in smaller cities 🏟️🤝 While global sports brands dominate headlines, niche sports communities in smaller cities play a pivotal role in shaping local culture, unity, and pride. These communities often serve as the heart of their cities, bringing fans together and creating opportunities to amplify engagement both online and offline. Why it matters? In smaller cities, sports teams often serve as more than entertainment—they’re part of the community’s identity. Leveraging online fan engagement tools can dramatically boost the visibility and influence of these teams, benefiting not only the athletes but also local businesses, sponsors, and fans themselves. A few examples: 1️⃣ BC Rīgas Zelli (#Latvia): By integrating interactive platforms like #quizzes and #loyalty programs through their #mobileapp and utilizing #QR code opportunities, this basketball team gamifies the routine for fans. QR codes displayed during games, on merchandise, and on social media drive fans to participate in real-time quizzes and challenges, fostering stronger connections with fans and sponsors while increasing game attendance. 2️⃣ Florence Y’alls (Kentucky, #USA): A minor league baseball team used #social media campaigns and gamified apps to grow its online community by 35% in one season. Increased fan participation led to higher merchandise sales and local sponsorship growth. 3️⃣ Wrexham AFC (#Wales): Once a struggling club, Wrexham gained a massive following by embracing #digital fan engagement and storytelling. Today, it serves as a prime example of how online strategies can unite global audiences around a #local team. Data Speak: • 71% of sports fans engage with teams on social media during games. • Teams with active fan loyalty programs report 30% higher ticket renewals. • Digital campaigns tied to local sponsorships can boost local business revenue by 15-20%. The Opportunity: #Online fan engagement isn’t just for the major leagues. Smaller city teams have a unique opportunity to strengthen community ties, attract sponsors, and grow their fan base with accessible tools like gamified apps, loyalty platforms, and social media campaigns. Let’s not overlook the power of sports in uniting smaller cities. What are your thoughts on boosting engagement in niche sports communities? #SportsMarketing #FanEngagement #NicheSports #CommunityBuilding #DigitalEngagement #Trivia #legacy #gamification

What’s a sports fan to do when they can’t make it to the game? I watch as much as I can in my downtime, feeling like a true #SofaFan! Last week, I caught some fantastic #basketball games with awesome fan engagement. With a quick #QR code scan, fans joined in on the action right from the sofa. Here’s a look at two screens: 1. from BC Riga Rīgas Zeļļi game during the Optibet LatEst League #basketball, engaging fans through the Fan Apps #UseAward loyalty platform powered by #AI & 2. from the National Basketball Association (NBA) using a similar call-to-action #QR TV. Both experiences bring fans closer to the game! #FanEngagement #UseAward #SportsTech #LoyaltyPlatform #Basketball #sports #enertainment #belonging

Super project in collaboration with Fan Apps & BC Rīgas Zeļļi Scenario: 1. Watch the game from home as a #SofaFan with 🍺 or 🍦 in hand. 2. During game breaks, grab your phone, scan the #QR, and experience #Zeļļi #Quiz Best4Sport.TV! Result: Over 1,000 answers gathered from fans across just 2 games, all tracked through the #UseAward loyalty platform. Who’s next to join in? Are you looking to engage your audience and grow valuable new accounts? This is the way! I love this, what do you think?
