Key Points

1. The Power of Customer Retention

Did you know that repeat customers spend 67% more than new ones? It’s a well-known fact that acquiring new customers is expensive—research shows it costs five times more to attract a new customer than to keep an existing one. During BFCM, merchants often see an influx of first-time buyers; however, turning these shoppers into loyal customers is where the real revenue potential lies.

With SC Loyalty Rewards, you can retain a higher percentage of BFCM shoppers by incentivizing repeat purchases with enticing loyalty rewards. According to recent data, loyalty programs can increase customer repeat purchase rates by up to 30%. By giving customers points for each dollar spent during BFCM, you can increase retention and transform one-time shoppers into regulars. Consider offering double points on BFCM purchases as an extra incentive to drive engagement and loyalty.

2. Engagement is Key

Engaged customers are loyal customers. Studies show that customers actively participating in loyalty programs are 47% more likely to make repeat purchases. Use BFCM as a launchpad to engage customers with meaningful rewards—every dollar they spend can bring them closer to valuable benefits, whether it’s discounts, exclusive offers, or free products.

Real-life examples show the impact of loyalty programs. For instance, brands that implemented loyalty incentives during major shopping events saw not only a significant increase in engagement but also a 20% improvement in retention rates post-holiday season. With SC Loyalty Rewards, you can encourage higher spending and return visits by tailoring rewards that resonate with your audience.

3. Prepare Your Strategy

Preparation is key to making the most of your loyalty program during BFCM. A clear, actionable strategy will help you capture new customers while keeping existing ones engaged.

Here are some steps to get your loyalty program ready for the BFCM rush:

• Audit Your Current Loyalty Program: Review your current offerings to see what works and what can be improved. Look for opportunities to add or update rewards specifically for BFCM.
• Set Measurable Goals: Define what you hope to achieve in terms of customer retention and sales growth. Are you aiming to increase repeat purchases by a certain percentage, or to increase average order value? Setting clear goals will guide your efforts.
• Optimize Promotions: Offer double points or exclusive BFCM bonuses to incentivize purchases. Create BFCM-specific rewards that customers can only unlock during the event.
• Segment and Personalize: Consider segmenting your loyalty program members and offering personalized incentives. For example, VIP customers could receive early access to BFCM deals or an extra discount on top of loyalty points.

By putting these strategies in place, you can maximize the impact of SC Loyalty Rewards and capture BFCM sales that lead to long-term customer loyalty.
