Our Customer Loyalty Agency Expertise

Building and cultivating customer loyalty is an essential component of retail marketing. It’s one of the most effective ways to grow your brand and boost your bottom line. Simply put, devoted customers deliver more value: They’re more likely to spend more money with their preferred brands, shop them more frequently and recommend the brand and program to their friends.

As a customer relationship marketing (CRM) agency, we understand that a strong customer loyalty program does more than engage consumers in an effort to drive sales. An effective program builds long-term relationships by creating an emotional connection, achieved by reaching the right customers at the right touchpoints — throughout their purchase journey.

At CCG, our 40+ years of retail marketing and CRM experience allows us to provide our clients with strategic retail marketing solutions that combine tried-and-true processes with the latest technology and best practices. Our experienced consultants can provide added bench strength wherever you need retail marketing consulting expertise, from a fresh eye on program strategy, to business case development, to analytics and technology search.

Creating a Customer Loyalty Road Map

Whether you’re starting from scratch or your current customer loyalty initiatives are in need of a refresh, our strategists can help develop and implement an innovative and custom-designed program that meets your goals. We can also assess your existing program in context of the current environment and determine how to refresh and optimize it to boost performance. We’ve already achieved this — with proven success — for dozens of retail’s top CRM and loyalty programs.

To achieve customer loyalty with staying power, it’s essential to not only know who your best customers are, but also understand the factors that drive different types of shoppers to stay dedicated to specific retailers. For example, findings from our most recent proprietary research study provide groundbreaking details on the different types of consumer shopping personalities and their impact on customer loyalty.

A Strategic Approach to Data Analytics, Technical Expertise and Creative Solutions

A successful, scalable loyalty program is built around the customers that create the most value for your business. That means it’s essential to focus on your most profitable customers, and minimize time and resources spent on less profitable customers.

CCG’s loyalty program marketing agency experts leverage data and customer insights to gain a unique view into key performance indicator (KPI) benchmarks, enabling our team to objectively evaluate and monitor your loyalty program. Our unique, proven approach gives you a clear picture of how well your program is working as well as what levers need to be adjusted for optimal performance. Our proven approach includes the innovative tactics below.
