7 Key Take Away’s

15
1. Business can only discount for customers of value, not all customers
2. Economic Benefits indispensible for most consumer loyalty programs
3. Economic Benefits set foundation for other benefits
Emotional and Ego benefits are relevant on the back of Economic Benefit
4. Ego benefits catalyze Advocacy
Wife will now be sold through husband
5. Good programs follow Principles of Win:Win
Home Delivery: Value for Customer + Lowered costs for business
6. A pure Economic Offer will typically fail against an equivalent Economic Offer with Ego and Emo benefits
7. Most Important: Eavesdropping
Voice of Customer is crucial to plan benefits
