Featured Research
Linear loyalty programs (e.g., buy 10, get one free) are popular in practice despite limited empirical evidence demonstrating their efficacy. The main challenge in studying these programs is that customers opt-in to them, making it hard to figure out if outcomes are driven by the kind of customers who join the program or by the program itself. Using a unique data set and advanced econometric methods, we find that a linear loyalty program reduced the likelihood of customers leaving the firm, while having little to no impact on frequency of visits or monetary spend. Overall, we found that customer value increased by 30% over a five year horizon due to the loyalty program.
