“We were being held back by our old manual system, which had gone as far as it could. Our loyalty scheme has really come into its own with the move to the Zonal solution.”Business Support Manager, Liberation Group
The business challenge
Liberation’s former loyalty programme had been running for eight years, with promotional vouchers issued to members every quarter. They needed to update their loyalty offering, and at the same time improve business management and reporting.
An outdated loyalty scheme that needed refreshing
No ability to identify and understand customer behaviour
No personalisation of offers, just a blanket voucher to everyone
Minimal reporting capabilities to track performance
“We have become much more productive as a result and saved an absolute fortune. Investing in Zonal’s Loyalty solution has paid for itself already and we will save twice the investment cost each year from now on.”Business Support Manager, Liberation Group
The solution
Zonal’s Loyalty solution was trialled for six months before being rolled out across all venues in the group. Now, Liberation Group builds better relationships with customers by showing their most loyal customers just how much they are valued.
- EPoS integration gives Liberation valuable insights into each customer
- Promotions and rewards can be personalised to each loyalty member
- Relevant offers help to increase spend and frequency
- An automated system for maximum efficiency
“It has been an enormous benefit for us and generated huge growth in customer numbers. In fact, more than half our trading business is now achieved through our loyalty scheme.”Business Support Manager, Liberation Group
Results
The impact of Liberation Group’s new loyalty programme has been nothing short of sensational. Membership jumped from 12,000 to an astonishing 28,000, and Liberation have noticed a big difference to their bottom line.
