1 Know your goals and audience

Before you launch any promotion or loyalty program, you need to define your objectives and target market. What are you trying to achieve? Do you want to increase traffic, revenue, or margin? Do you want to clear inventory, introduce new products, or reward loyal customers? Who are you trying to reach? What are their needs, preferences, and behaviors? How do they respond to different types of incentives and communication channels? By answering these questions, you can design your promotions and loyalty programs to match your goals and audience.

A customer first approach is central to the development of a promotion and/or loyalty program. Ideally, this begins with data driven insights into a representative sample of customers behaviors and responses to prior incentives across email, website, app, SMS, social and 3rd party touchpoints. I've found it helpful to map out the combination of revenue and purchase behavior variation (influenced by new products, seasonality and competitive events) over the course of the year on a rolling 52 week calendar to get the 'big picture' on what my brand or business wants to influence and accomplish with our promtion or loyalty program. From here, I can more accurately gauge and assess what the organization needs to design & resources to suppport.

2 Choose the right type and format

There are many types and formats of promotions and loyalty programs, such as discounts, coupons, free gifts, bundles, sweepstakes, points, tiers, referrals, memberships, and subscriptions. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on your industry, product, and customer. You need to choose the type and format that best suits your offer, value proposition, and differentiation. For example, if you sell high-end products, you might want to avoid discounts that can dilute your brand image and opt for free gifts or memberships that can enhance your perceived value and exclusivity.

3 Create a clear and compelling message

Your promotion or loyalty program should have a clear and compelling message that communicates the benefits, urgency, and call to action. You need to highlight the value and relevance of your offer, create a sense of scarcity or exclusivity, and motivate your customers to act quickly and decisively. You also need to make sure that your message is consistent and coherent across all your communication channels, such as your website, social media, email, SMS, flyers, or in-store signage.

4 Test and optimize

Before you launch your promotion or loyalty program, you need to test and optimize it to ensure that it works as intended and delivers the desired results. You can use methods such as A/B testing, surveys, focus groups, or pilot programs to evaluate different aspects of your promotion or loyalty program, such as the type, format, message, duration, frequency, timing, and segmentation. You can then use the feedback and data to refine and improve your promotion or loyalty program to maximize its effectiveness and efficiency.

5 Measure and analyze

After you launch your promotion or loyalty program, you need to measure and analyze its performance and impact. You can use metrics such as sales, revenue, margin, conversion rate, customer acquisition cost, retention rate, lifetime value, satisfaction, loyalty, advocacy, and word-of-mouth to assess how well your promotion or loyalty program achieved your goals and objectives. You can also use tools such as Google Analytics, CRM software, or loyalty platforms to track and monitor your customers' behavior and feedback. You can then use the insights and learnings to optimize your future promotions and loyalty programs.

A clear outlet classification driven by touch point role and objective would help focus. The retail landscape is already cluttered, make sure not to add to the noise #thisistheway
