Customer Loyalty Programme Design and CRM Strategy

Loyalty programmes and CRM systems are often bought as technology projects and then quietly abandoned once the novelty wears off. This programme teaches marketing and customer teams to design loyalty mechanics that change buying behaviour, structure customer data for genuine personalisation, and measure whether a loyalty investment is actually paying back in South African retail and services businesses.

  • Set loyalty programme rules that control cost while remaining attractive to customers.
  • Measure loyalty programme return on investment using retention and spend uplift data.
