Loyalty Strategy & Services

The best loyalty software still needs a plan.

Most loyalty programs underperform because no one built the strategy behind the software. Whether you're fixing one or starting fresh, that's where we come in.

We're a loyalty platform with a strategy team on staff, on TrueLoyal or the software you already run.

What a loyalty strategy covers

A real plan answers three questions.

Most brands buy a platform and expect loyalty to follow. But a platform only runs the program. Deciding what it should do, and for whom, is the strategy, and most brands never build it.

Where you are now

Where your business really stands today.

What your customers and your data can tell you, program or not.

Where you want to go

The goal in plain terms, tied to your targets.

More repeat buyers who spend more, and advocates who bring in the next one.

The path between

A plan you can measure as you go.

The right moves in order, and a way to measure whether they're working.

How it works

The process, start to finish.

Step 01

Understand where you are

We audit your program and your data to see what's working and where you're losing value.

  • Stakeholder interviews
  • Data and behavior analysis
  • Member-journey mapping
  • Competitor experience review
Step 02

Recommend the plan

A strategy tied to your goals, with the path and the metrics to get there. You decide what to run.

  • Value promise
  • Earning and redemption mechanics
  • Progression pathways
  • Ongoing engagement considerations
  • Commercial modeling
Step 03

Guide you as you put it to work

We stay close as the plan goes live. You own it the whole way. We don't run it for you.

  • Rollout and UX flow recommendations
  • Lifecycle plan: welcome to win-back
  • Data and partnership strategy
  • Metrics and measurement framework
Platform-agnostic. We'll bring the platform to run the plan, or shape the plan to fit the one you're already paying for.
Your options

What brands usually try, and the catch with each.

Add more discounts
The tradeoff

A short-term bump. Stop discounting and they stop buying. Your margin goes with them.

Switch platforms
The tradeoff

Swap platforms and you carry the same problem across. If strategy was the gap, a new tool won't close it.

Hire a consultant
The tradeoff

A plan in a slide deck, then no system to run it. The strategy and the software end up in two different places.

Hire in-house
The tradeoff

A single hire can't cover strategy, data, and tech at once, and the day they leave, your program leaves with them.

Most brands have tried at least one of these. It helps for a bit, but before long you're back where you started. We start with the plan. We have the platform. And we offer the expertise to help you get the most out of your investment.

Why TrueLoyal

We're a product company with a strategy team in-house.

Software alone rarely makes a loyalty program work. It needs a strategy, and someone who'll see it through. That's the whole reason we pair a strategy team with the platform, and hand you the keys to both.
