Concept Intro
The interest in unique perks and tiers is clearly reflected by the data, which indicates that 50% of loyalty executives are planning to invest in tiered/experience-based rewards for 2022. Various brands utilize these program mechanics to boost engagement and push member acquisition by offering more value through the same assets. With 47% of brands incorporating tier systems in their program, it begs the question:
What do brands exactly gain from tier systems and how effective are they?
Tier Systems
Tiered loyalty programs can be beneficial for a variety of reasons, besides increasing customer satisfaction and sustained engagement. They also incentivize higher member earning rates, as members need to obtain more loyalty points to reach the next tier and unlock extended value.
Special Perks
