Importance of Enrollment in Loyalty Programs

Enrollment in loyalty programs plays a crucial role in their success by establishing a critical mass of members. Making the enrollment process easy and accessible with aspects like simplicity and flexibility is essential. While it's important to get enough members, engagement is key as there can be a law of diminishing returns with enrollment numbers.

This week's episode of the "Wiser Loyalty" podcast series explores an advisory-led course from the Loyalty Academy™ curriculum, Key Success Factors in Loyalty Marketing (course #112). Our hosts today are ⁠⁠Bill Hanifin⁠ and Aaron Dauphinee from the Loyalty Academy faculty.

Our loyalty leaders first set-up the discussions for the month of April that will focus on identifying some, but not all, of the components to creating customer loyalty successfully. They list the long-standing and known keys to success, but also pepper in a few more recent known enablers, before diving into “program member enrollment” to kick-off.

In the Wiser Loyalty series, Bill and Aaron draw a theme each month based on the courses required to earn the Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional™ (CLMP™) designation and this is now the third month of this global loyalty education series.
