Loyalty Programs Today:
There are hundreds of them.
They all want to be top of mind and have the most valuable card in your wallet.
Generally consumers are required to spend, collect and redeem.
It’s difficult, and can be expensive to develop a strong enough brand to win consumer awareness, commitment and participation as their first choice for loyalty.
3
Consumer Expectations:
A program that’s easy to understand and use.
Significant value in exchange for their time and/or money.
Compelling and interesting rewards and offers.
Regular, permission based worthwhile communication pushed
to them.
Strict compliance to privacy and ethical practices.
4
Existing Newspaper Programs:
Many existing programs may well be serving some of the needs of the newspaper.
However the following points should be reviewed:
– How is the program measured?
– Are there business objectives beyond the retention of subscribers?
– Can the program effectively deliver access to a target audience that is highly desirable for advertising clients?
– Can the program deliver incremental revenue without threatening or cannibalizing current business?
– Does anyone “own” and manage the cross-departmental function of the loyalty program?

The Globe and Mail
Recognition Program

Program Overview
Launched in 2004 as a test program and has been successful from a circulation retention and advertising perspective.
Well over 100 offers are currently available for fully paid, full week subscribers on the recognition web site.
Categories include; Golf, Ski, Spas, Travel, Entertainment, Dining etc.
Html email messages introduce special opportunities approximately 1-2 times per week.
The program represents a unique opportunity to provide advertisers with direct access to an elite segment of the readership audience that they reach through traditional advertising.

Offers must be high value, unique and exclusive.
All offers are communicated through The Globe, no lists are rented and no
subscriber data is shared.
Rather than simple discounts, we prefer to develop unique experiences and
opportunities that are normally unavailable to the general public.
Bundling multiple merchant offerings is a viable option.
The best offers serve advertiser objectives as well as those of the
Recognition Card Program.

The Audience
As of July 2006 there were over 65,000 registered Globe Recognition
cardholders. This is a registration rate of over 50% which is very high
in newspaper loyalty programs.
The demographic profile of the cardholders represents the top segment
of The Globe’s audience, even higher than that of the subscriber base.
The program was rolled out in Ontario as an initial test and will be
expanded across additional Canadian markets through the balance of
2006.

Final thoughts
Our subscribers are receiving the recognition they deserve and
retention is significantly higher with Recognition Members
Advertisers get access to the most affluent and well educated

The program is very flexible and will continue to evolve based on
subscriber direction and advertisers input.
