Top 5 Solutions to Increase Rewards Liquidity

Industry

As we learned in the last blog post, it’s key to kill breakage (=points not used/expired) by increasing the liquidity of your rewards. Why? McKinsey found that the top-performing loyalty programs profit from customers who redeem their points since these customers either purchase more frequently or increase their purchase basket. This results in a 15% to 20% higher revenue per customer.

That being said, it is quite clear why users spending more points is vital to brands’ success. This is why we are showcasing the top solutions brands can implement, in order to boost rewards liquidity and customer engagement. Although some are more creative and others simply more convenient, they have one thing in common, they all increase the relevant metrics that your brand is targeting.

Key Takeaways (TL:DR)

  • Loyalty programs can sometimes suffer from a liquidity problem, meaning that users aren’t accumulating enough points to gain interest and thus are not even engaging with the brand.

  • McKinsey found that the top-performing loyalty programs can boost revenue from customers who redeem points by 15 to 25 percent annually, by increasing either their purchase frequency or basket size, or both.

  • The Top 5 solutions include: 1) offering your own products/services, 2) offering partner/third-party products or services, 3) connecting to other loyalty programs and offering exchangeable points, 4) a gift card provider and 5) Crypto and NFTs.
