Loyalty schemes were never so interesting

Tesco's loyalty program "Clubcard" is recognised as by far the most succesful system of this kind in the world. This book allows us to get deep into this topic, understand the loyalty schemes used and possible, as well as discusses the value of loyalty programs themselves. I found this book of a high value, thus would recommend it to all retailers as well as suppliers, who want to understand their partners better as well as to find ways for partnership of a higher added value.

Proves the point that a little loyalty can go a long way.

Customer loyalty programs come and go, because they are typically very labor and cost intensive. However, one such program that can't be ignored is the phenomenal success secured by the Tesco Clubcard program. Authors of the book - "Scoring Points" - have done a superb job of creating an in depth case study of UK-based grocery chain Tesco. Prior to the launch of its Clubcard in 1995, Tesco was one of three chains jockeying for mindshare and wallet share among consumers. According to the authors, that changed with the Tesco Clubcard program which transformed the sleepy grocer into the world's most successful online supermarket. Soundview likes this book because it shows Tesco's progression and maturity regarding customer relations, and its transformation can be duplicated by virtually any organization willing to make the commitment. Additionally, the insight into customer habits and motivation gleaned from such loyalty programs can more than pay for themselves in greater repeat business and new sales. A little loyalty goes a long way.

The next level of market segmentation

very good read if you want to know your customers even better.

Best of its kind

This is a well written book with a nice chronological writing style which makes it feel like an adventure . The author manages to avoid speaking marketing jargonese and skimp on technical specifics of how the program was implemented providing ample details of the infrastructural , logistic and IT challenges faced by the loyalty program. Also interesting is the focus on explaining the rationale of every decision Tesco has made and a unbiased assesment of whether it went right or wrong. There is also detailed description of Tesco's ever evolving segmentation strategy. Also its amazing how Tesco links its Direct Marketing, Internet Marketing (esp the My Favorites), and tradional store marketing to the card database and also follows the "keep-it-simple-stupid" philosophy. One of the con's of this book it that it often contains quotes from people which do not convey anything and that it really does not cover the loyalty program outside of UK. Overall this a must read if you really want an insight into how loyalty cards can be much much more than a piece of plastic both to the retailer and the shopper.
