Now more than ever, staying abreast of the most effective loyalty and engagement practices is critical to surviving in a turbulent business environment.
Companies across the world have studied what makes their constituents tick. Through their varied studies, patterns emerge. The
best corporate discount programs,
association member benefits,
white-label rewards programs, and
membership perks in general share traits and strategies. Members of different demographic groupings relay the things they want most from the companies they do business with.
Indeed, we have many articles that dive into these findings on our
loyalty blog and
employee benefits blog.
This page, however, is for the raw data. For your convenience, we've compiled dozens of loyalty statistics - from how many people are active in
loyalty programs to what they're looking to get out of them and how they'd like to be communicated with.
If you need some data to help you make a business decision, write an article, or if you need a few stats to help you prepare a business proposal, look no further.
