Capabilities

Loyalty Program Structure Creation

Whether evaluating your current program or starting from scratch, we can help your business design a custom loyalty program that drives engagement and revenue. We begin by analyzing existing customer behavioral patterns and then assess potential program model impacts to design the right program for your business and customers. From tiers to badges, offers to challenges, punches or points, we'll build the ideal program for your brand.

Industry Insights and Forecasting

Armed with an understanding of your target customers and their unmet needs, we layer on emerging industry trends and market dynamics — examining both ‘traditional’ competitors and emerging threats. From there we can evaluate different loyalty program models and their potential impact on profitability and scalability.

Brand and Design System Development

Loyalty design combines myriad capabilities, including copywriting, experience design, logos, icons, typography, illustration, and animation. Our support can range from refreshing existing brands with imagery and messaging audits to creating new loyalty program branding with compelling narratives, logos, and atomic design systems. From there, we build design systems that create CX consistency while driving efficiency, growth, and performant digital products.

Loyalty Tech Stack Selection

Unsure if your current Loyalty & Membership technology is meeting your goals — or looking for the right tool to jump-start your loyalty program? We assist in selecting and implementing composable enterprise and MarTech platforms that create efficient processes, execute targeted outreach, and build adaptable experiences.
