Vision Express aimed to develop a loyalty program to provide comprehensive eye care while driving sales and increasing the number of transactions. Key challenges included the lack of effective tools for obtaining customer consents, incomplete purchase registration, and low purchase frequency.
Understanding the Eyewear Market and Identifying Challenges:
During the pre-implementation analysis, we identified the key challenges facing Vision Express. Based on these, we concluded that the mechanics of the program should be tools to increase the frequency of customer visits to improve the overall low number of transactions. The platform should target everyone, taking into account online as well as offline customers. to be able to record all transactions. Due to the lack of effective tools for obtaining consents, it is necessary to intensify recruitment efforts, focused on the quality of the data obtained.
Program Design and Strategy Utilizing Current Incentives:
We did not want to create a new entity. We took advantage of the services already offered by Vision Express, encapsulating them in one communication idea and making them into an exclusive package for club members. The program includes regular eye examinations, additional services and special offers.
The program offers the construction of a family tree, within which you can register your loved ones. The vouchers awarded can be accessed by both the family member and the account holder, so those less proficient in the online world can still enjoy the benefits of the program.
Loyalty Program Pilot Run and Wide Implementation:
Before the official launch of the program, we implemented the program in four stores to verify assumptions and refine the program before a full rollout. Conclusions from the pilot allowed verification of assumptions before implementation.
Program Maintenance and Expansion:
We are currently focusing on effectively leveraging knowledge and motivating consumers
to specific actions through advanced communication paths implemented within and outside the program, based on the CRM base created. We also use communication for inspirational and sales activities. Overall for Vision Express, we are a support in strategic and tactical planning.
