In a new paper called “The new battleground for marketing-led growth”, the authors, David Court, Dave Elzinga, Bo Finneman, and Jesko Perrey, said, “Evidence has begun emerging, however, that consumer bonds with many brands are simultaneously slipping, with active engagement in those same loyalty programs falling by two percentage points and 58 per cent of loyalty members not using the programs for which they are signed up.”

Customer retention is the important point, as is upselling. But look beyond pure Loyalty programs and consider a combined loyalty/gamification program.

Intermediate/ Digest... It turns out that even in business-to-business markets, customer loyalty can accelerate growth and create a competitive advantage. In our studies of loyalty metrics for B2B companies, we found:
Despite the challenges, some B2B companies have managed to earn strong loyalty. What do they have in common? First, they identify the things that truly delight or annoy customers through short, frequent surveys after key episodes such as a new contract negotiation. When they market to distributors or other intermediaries, they also seek out feedback from retailers and end users. This sort of customer feedback helps B2B companies decide where to place their bets.
Bringing the voice of the customer into B2B marketing decisions also requires other departments to collaborate more closely with one another and with external partners.

There's little doubt that there is value in loyalty. It's a matter of throwing resources into the program assuming there is sufficient ROI relative to other programs.

B2B customer feedback can no longer be ignored. Today’s customers don’t think too long before walking away from an established business relationship to a competitor if they getter better value or treatment. And so keeping a regular track of customer satisfaction and sentiment is important to sustain client loyalty.

Loyalty and engagement platform Punchtab announced a rather interesting integration with ExactTarget which will provide marketer with the ability to reward email list recipients for opening, clicking, and forwarding emails and newsletters.

I normally do not scoop product announcements or reviews, but this one caught my eye. Even if you don't click through to review, just the notion alone to reward B2B activity (especially sharing and forwarding) opens up your thinking to new ideas.

Marteq's insight:
I ignored the issues as they are self-evident by the recommendations. I continue to marvel how loyalty programs are so underutilized by B2B marketers. Loyalty does not need to be connected to purchases! Think outside the box: # of blog views, # of retweets, etc.

Promotion in form of loyalty program can be a very useful tool. However, when it is just being used as a formality form of getting close to the customers, it could hurt really bad. A comapny has to rethink really carefully when they are planning to apply a promotion in form of loyalty program. This article provide a really good rule of thumb to do it the right way and minimizing loyalty program dissatisfaction. Company has to have clear conditions and rules of how the loyalty program is being run and applied. One of the most important thing as well is to carefully choose the customers. Nowadays, especially in small medium retailers such as cafe, company start giving away loyalty cards too easily. This might create an unnecessary cost for the business. On the other hand, for a bigger company such as banks, the company has to be updated if there is any changes. Customers have to know what is happening with the loyalty program and they must be aware of any limitation of the program. Failing to do so could hurt the company image really bad, which may turn into a word of mouth disaster.

This is a very interesting article Hendy , I never thought that you have to think so much in-depth of the loyalty program and take so much into consideration. This has made me think that businesses need to pay attention to choose what loyalty programme to use because it may worsen the brands image and value

I aggree with Hendy Han’s comment as promotion in form of loyalty program can be a very useful tool. I agree with his comment rule of thumb program. If the rules arent followed the faliing to do so could hurt the company image really bad, which may turn into a word of mouth disaster.

Consider a combination of tried-and-true methodologies for identifying the right customers for the right message at the right time, infused with fresh communication approaches. Key excerpt... In a newly released 2013 Loyalty Census (covered in this DM article: "Loyalty Programs Grow, But Participation Sinks"), Colloquy uncovers some startling statistics including:
The article goes on to identify that "…it's crucial for companies to strengthen loyalty programs through innovation and relevancy. As competition increases, innovation through stronger reward initiatives, use of soft benefits, and use of [new] technologies will benefit the brands that offer loyalty programs."

At Regus, we recently launched a social rewards campaign. Here's what we learned from our initiative about multitiered content, B2B messaging, and consumer needs. Excerpt... Here’s what we’ve learned through our initiative. 1. Have a multipronged approach. Our initiative is contributing to our monthly targets of generating inquiries for our business centers. A multitiered content campaign that includes blog postings, videos, and social rewards promotion allows our customers to digest our information in various ways, giving us access to contact information and customer profile data. That information can help us refine our messaging and services as we enhance enter new stages of the campaign. 2. People like to talk about what they’re passionate about. Some of the key learnings uncovered about our customers through the social rewards campaign are that people are passionate and excited to share how, where, and when they work. That data allows us to create future content based on the consumer’s needs. 3. B2B messages must be customer-centric. What we’ve learned throughout this process is that a B2B strategy must include a consumer-centric message and companies need to be more flexible so that they can restructure their approach to see improvements in the performance of their marketing activity.

This is a great article. It showed the B2B communications from a different angle. Even from marketing respective, B2B is different from B2C, managers should understand how to use the suited IMC tools to communicate with partners.

Great find Hendy you found out an article that relates communication in the B2B market, it has made me understand what’s the processes of how to communicate with business to business owners. As you pointed out in the article B2B is different to B2C where B2B is more relied on relationships and word of mouth between stakeholders. After reading this article has broaden knowledge about how to communicate in the B2B market. Thank You

This is a good article, it shows how consumers relate to brands. Through social media companies are able to collect data about their consumers, which allows them to mould their campaigns to them. By looking at what the consumer wants and how they react to it they are able to build a relationship with the consumer. Marketers should know how to use different IMC tools to communicate with their clients.

While most marketers are collecting outside customer data for their campaigns, many are not seamlessly integrating their data, causing them to miss out on audience insights that would better inform their loyalty efforts, according to a new report from Loyalty360 and Acxiom. For example, while 68% of survey respondents (the majority of whom are involved in audience measurement) gather outside customer data, 53% do not append or integrate 3rd party data into customer relationship management efforts.
Marteq's insight:

The realization that it is much easier to sell to an existing customer than a new customer is slowly settling in. It costs ten times to convert a new customer than to retain an existing customer. Data over the years suggest that a 5 percent improvement in customer retention rates increase profits to the tune of 25 to 100 percent.
