And customers are less loyal than ever before. Differentiation is critical, but most traditional loyalty programs feel so similar. Anyone can replicate discounts and free shipping. That’s why we have to stop thinking only in transactions. We have to rethink loyalty.
Some call it subscription loyalty. Others call it membership loyalty. We call it premium loyalty. Customers pay a fee in exchange for 24/7 benefits that traditional loyalty programs can't touch. You go from being "just another program" to being an irreplaceable part of customers' lives.
With premium loyalty, your best customers buy more often, spend more when they do, and evangelize for your brand. You get additional revenue from membership fees and unparalleled data on buyers' habits, likes and dislikes. You get loyalty as an outcome, not just a series of transactions.
Retailers make huge investments in the technology and people behind traditional programs. Hopefully, they break even after a year or two. But premium loyalty throws that risk out the window and works on a revenue share model. There’s no upfront investment needed. Our revenue comes from a percentage of the membership fees. In other words, we only succeed if your program does, which is why we bring our full suite of services to the table at no additional cost.
In the Age of the Customer, when brand differentiation is more important than ever, most traditional loyalty programs are the same. But what works for one brand won’t work for another. That’s why from a product perspective, we build each program to make sense for each retailer and its best customers. You won’t get an off-the-shelf solution. And from a marketing perspective, we continue to analyze and optimize each program so that it continues to stay on-brand and resonate with its members for the long run.
Consumers want to use benefits that are important to them. One-size-fits-all doesn’t work. That’s why our flexible, scalable benefits infrastructure lets you offer the rewards your customers will value most. From discounts and rebates to exclusive content and experiences, we can deliver exactly what your program members want. It’s all about balancing transactional and experiential benefits to build a true emotional connection.
Our Momentum Platform™ works with any IT infrastructure. Handle billing yourself or pass it to us. Host program web pages on your servers or ours. Integrate with any third-party services and platforms you’re already using. Upload content through our CMS or your own. Our platform is built to work how you want it to work.
We have your back well beyond your program’s launch. From day 1 to infinity, our team is available 24/7/365 for technical issues, and we provide unparalleled analytics data, reporting, and regular strategic reviews. We don’t set it and forget it. We’re working on behalf of our retailer partners every day to ensure the continued success of their programs.
It's safe to say we've been doing this a while.

When Starbucks relaunched its loyalty program in April, it was met with some initial criticism. Would it alienate existing core customers? Would people understand it? Would it really contribute to growth or would it backfire? We had a different view on the Starbucks Rewards revamp back in March which you can read about here. So,…

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The old saying does have truth to it, but we sometimes put off fixing things that need attention simply because it’s the way we’ve always done them. Something might not appear broken on the outside which can cause complacency. That complacency can lead to not considering a better…
