    Understanding loyalty to invest in loyalty

    As brands and businesses continue to invest more in customer retention and loyalty, gaining clarity on what loyalty is helps to determine why it is important for a business to invest in customer loyalty as a growth strategy and how to achieve it as a profitable outcome. The 2018 study continues to track changes on the benchmark insights from 2017 in the three areas of:

    1. What is loyalty? Beyond enrolling in a loyalty program, what does loyalty mean to consumers?
    2. What actions taken by a brand/business lead consumers to be loyal (more loyal) to the brand/business?
    3. What are the three reasons and their respective importance that motivate consumers to purchase over the longer term from a brand/business compared with similar competitor options.
