If you don't already have a loyalty program, or if your program isn't generating the results you want, it's time to start thinking about your loyalty strategy. Loyalty programs are an essential part of keeping customers engaged and happy. In this post, we’ll show how our CRM & Loyalty experts helped American Girl achieve 20% of their enrollment goal in just one month, while also increasing customer purchase frequency and improving overall brand engagement.
American Girl, one of the nation’s most iconic toy brands was looking for help to build a loyalty program from inception. The brand's main goal was to keep customers engaged with American Girl (AG) from customer acquisition to loyalty and even to re-engage lapsed customers. Not knowing exactly where to start or how to execute their loyalty strategy, evaluate the technology platform options, or how to measure their ROI, the brand team reached out to Baesman Group for help.
After performing an in-depth analysis of AG’s customer database with a focus on customer behavior, personalization, and financial viability, the Baesman team was able to identify the right customers to target, and the kind of rewards that would help drive customer engagement and enrollment.
Our team of former brand-side marketers created a strategic loyalty program that increased program enrollment and engagement. We knew if we could get people to sign up for the rewards program, they would be more likely to keep coming back. In addition, we built the loyalty program on our proprietary Loyalty technology platform called Intuition. Because it's highly customizable and allows for the strategy to drive the technology rather than the other way around, Intuition was the perfect fit for the brand's unique needs.
We also wanted to make sure that it was financially viable for AG, which meant offering rewards that were relevant and useful for customers. Lastly, it was crucial that AG was able to measure how well their new loyalty program was working so they could analyze it over time and make improvements where necessary.
American girl has seen huge success with their loyalty program. In the end, their newly implemented loyalty strategy helped them drive 20% of their year-one enrollment goal in just one month, as well as helped them improve customer purchase frequency and brand engagement. We hope this post inspires you to create your own success story!
