Lojalitetsprogram : En studie om konsumenternas perspektiv på lojalitetsprogram.

In this paper I have examined what main factors that a loyalty program should include to make customers interested and engaged in a loyalty program, and to enhance their emotional loyalty towards a brand. A qualitative method was used to study the topic through interviews with four focus groups. The data from the focus groups was analyzed together with Magids theory about high impact motivators to reach emotional loyalty. The result of the paper showed that to make customers interested to be a member in a loyalty program it has to give them good financial benefits and rewards. However, to reach the emotional loyalty through a loyalty program the most important motivators were the non-financial rewards, rather than the financial rewards. To reach emotional loyalty the loyalty program had to be more personally designed, stand out, have exclusive membership benefits, create excitement for the customers and show ethical commitment
