Membership Rewards… Customers Aren’t Buying It

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 15, 2008 – Toronto, ON - According to Canadians, membership rewards programs have little or no effect on their purchase decisions.  A recent survey indicates that less than 30% of purchases are made in favour of retailers offering rewards and loyalty programs.

Of the 500 Canadians surveyed, a mere 6.7% felt that loyalty programs such as AIR MILES®, PETRO-POINTS, and Frequent Flyer Miles influenced their buying decisions “always”.  Only 21% indicated that loyalty programs influenced their decisions “most of the time”.
