Sainsbury’s Looks at Nectar

? Tesco and Sainsbury’s have loyalty programs, Safeway and ASDA doesn’t have ? Senior managers think tying up with Nectar provides a strategic edge ? JV with TNS to track the product behavior of a panel of a million Nectar collectors in Sainsbury’s

Should we go solo like Tesco, or are we better off as part of Nectar?

LOGO

What should Justin King do with the program?

?Continue with the program as it is ?Start own loyalty program
? Loose data on prospective customers ? Risk of loosing current customers due to no partners ? Increases cost of attracting customers

?Negotiate for better terms with Nectar

LOGO

?Organize parties, special events. ?Include wider list of products on which points can be redeemed. ?Introduce levels of benefits depending on the points accumulated in a month e.g. silver, gold, platinum.

To summarise

• •

Loyalty is’nt created by a program……it can at best strengthen it. Loyalty is not about short term rewards…….it is about end-to-end customer experience with your products / services

• Companies need to have a enterprise wide loyalty strategy backed by customer centric processes to deliver value
• Co branded programs work --- Ensure you get the value proposition right

Loyalty has to be earned…..its hard work….but at the end you have a profitable customer
