If Eagle Eye CEO, Tim Mason, had the chance to launch another Tesco Clubcard loyalty scheme today, you can be sure he would ensure it was digitally enabled and data-driven from the outset, as he sets out in his new book, Omnichannel Retail: How to build winning stores in a digital world.
 
In it, he argues that, while loyalty is far from dead, it has evolved to encompass the availability of relevant and engaging offers, compelling content and differentiated services, like order ahead, scan & pay or click & collect, made available via mobile. These capabilities can help any retailer or brand establish and maintain meaningful connections with customers that can help them not only survive but thrive by boosting sales and frequency – online and instore.

Loyalty Is Dead

In Chapter 3 of Omnichannel Retail, Tim argues that his Clubcard experiences and the best practice answers the question, “is loyalty is dead?” Loyalty is an emotion, and so is far from dead.
