What do surveys show when a Loyalty Program is
properly working?
4
 1 out of 2 respondents was very to extremely satisfied with the program
 Satisfaction and recommendation of the members is higher than average
overall satisfaction with the overall operator brand
 The higher the customer value and the tenure of the customer, the higher
the satisfaction about the program
 If the program would be stopped, 1 out of 5 customers would churn to
another operator
 When comparing with the outcome of the survey organized in 2011, it can
be noticed that the overall satisfaction level has increased with 5 - 15%

Evolution of Churn During a Crisis
Non Members Program Members
Disguised Example
During several years, this European Telecom
Operator was discussing internally the reasons
behind the lower churn rate (“A”) of Program
Members: what is because the program was
efficiently creating stickiness or because only the
customers that were already attached to brand
were actively enrolling.
Then a major change in the regulation has
allowed the customers to break more easily their
contracts what resulted in an explosion of the
Churn Rate. And even though the gap “A” could
still be discussed the dramatic gap “B” had be
explained by the performance of the loyalty
program.
