Programs that reward consumers for loyalty have existed for over 100 years. Today, estimates suggest that in the U.S. there are 129 million individual rewards programs in existence, with over 1.8 billion enrollments—and over $2 billion spent annually on loyalty programs.1One of the main features of a wearable computer is consistency. There is a constant interaction between the computer and user, i.e. there is no need to turn the device on or off. Another feature is the ability to multi-task. It is not necessary to stop what you are doing to use the device; it is augmented into all other actions. These devices can be incorporated by the user to act like a prosthetic. It can therefore be an extension of the user’s mind and/or body.1.8 billion members enrolled in Loyalty Programs in the US covering an estimated 129 million individuals US households enrolled in 14 loyalty programs but are active in 650% of revenue come from fewer than 25% of loyalty members More than 80% of CMOs prefer email for loyalty communications and marketingMore than 20% of all marketing dollars will be spent on digital marketing by 2014 and online technologies now receive the most new loyalty investments
a time of both lingering recession and more choices for consumers’ precious dollars than ever before, retailers are being forced to think differently about how to achieve brand loyalty. According to a new study by comScore, the percentage of brand loyal shoppers has steadily declined across all categories over the past two years.Less than 50% of shoppers in 2010 reported purchasing the brand they had once been most loyal to.
