Episode 562

#562 - What's the most valuable loyalty currency today? No, it's not points!

Published on: 16th July, 2024

Our hosts, Bill Hanifin and Aaron Dauphinee, are back again this week with the Wiser Loyalty series podcast. These two partners of the Wise Marketer Group take on a new topic each month by tapping into one of the courses from the Loyalty Academy™ Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional™ (CLMP™) curriculum. They then provide their own perspectives and current market examples to bring that material to life for listeners.

For the month of July, they are exploring the Loyalty Academy™ course on “How to Create a Winning Value Proposition” (#106). This week’s episode looks at now popularized shift in mindset by leading loyalty brand marketers to utilizing alternative currencies to points and/or discounts and cash rewards. It’s recognized that there are other forms of rewards and recognition that serve on par with or are even more influential in changing member behaviors and fulfilling upon relevant experiences.
