In a recent episode of Data Delicacies , hosted by Arun Kumar of Incentivio, Jeremy Theisen , Chief Revenue Officer of Hang , provided insightful commentary on the evolving landscape of restaurant marketing, particularly the role of AI and loyalty programs in driving customer engagement. Theisen highlighted the challenges many brands face in utilizing the abundance of data available for customer retention, suggesting that AI could bridge the gap between tools and actionable insights, allowing brands to operate smarter with fewer resources.
Advancing AI in Restaurant Marketing
With an abundance of tools available to capture data for customer attraction and retention, it is important to assess the need for skilled personnel to effectively utilize that data. Many brands struggle with maximizing these tools, opting to assign the task of managing complex loyalty campaigns to junior marketers. Jeremy Theisen believes the key to growth lies in continually expanding the database, and integrating AI-driven tools could bridge the gap, providing smarter insights and strategies without the need for large, highly experienced teams.
Loyalty Programs as Revenue Generators
Jeremy Theisen says when loyalty programs are operating correctly, vendors should have transparent conversations with brands about the true costs of implementing loyalty programs, including the required personnel, and the potential outcomes. He notes that loyalty programs are often viewed in a negative light, limiting their potential, leaving untapped potential for loyalty programs to be leveraged as key revenue generators.
Emerging Tech Trends in Loyalty
Customer engagement plays an important role in the success of any business. As business evolves, Jeremy Theisen foresees revenue recapture tools as an incoming wave within the loyalty space that will help businesses understand where gaps may exist and who should be tapped within the company to address them.
