In this podcast episode, we dive into strategies to increase the number of returning customers, boost customer lifetime value, and decrease churn rates. We explore why rewards can be more effective than discounts, how loyalty programs offer more than just points, and what alternative incentives work well in loyalty programs. Tune in to learn how to design an effective loyalty program that goes beyond just points and builds lasting customer relationships. Our featured guest on the show is Fiona Stevens, Director of Marketing at LoyaltyLion.com.
Topics discussed in this episode:
- How to get started with a loyalty program: Begin with small, simple rewards and gradually expand based on performance.
- Why loyalty programs are more than just giving points: They're about building ongoing connections and customer communities.
- Why personalization is crucial in loyalty programs: It allows for tailored experiences and more relevant communications.
- How to determine the right frequency for loyalty program communications: Base it on your product's purchase cycle and customer lifecycle.
- Why loyalty programs should be actively managed: Set-and-forget approaches often fail to deliver value.
- How to align loyalty rewards with brand values: Offering donations or sustainability-focused rewards can strengthen emotional connections.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
