flyBuys Named Top Australian Loyalty Program

Last Updated: August 5, 2020By

With more than eight million active members enjoying a wider range of rewards and benefits than ever before, flybuys has continued its run as Australia’s top-ranked loyalty program, according to the annual Australian customer loyalty program research study For Love or Money™.

The report stated that more flybuys members rated flybuys as ‘doing a very good job’ than members of any other loyalty program in Australia.

flybuys CEO John Merakovsky says that over the past year, flybuys has seen an increase in the number of points issued to members as well as the rate these points are being redeemed for rewards, driven in part by members making use of the flybuys app.

“We have more than eight million active flybuys members and more than 1.5 million members have downloaded the flybuys app since we launched it in 2017. The app is a great tool to ensure members never miss out on a flybuys offer,” he said.

“We have a large network of big brand partners which now includes eBay, Citi, Discovery Parks and Top Parks that constantly provide new and innovative ways for our members to collect and redeem their points – including for unique experiences.”

Mr Merakovsky says that new partners, as well as innovations such as the Shake‘n’Shop – a game that featured in the app for two weeks in March that allowed members to play for more offers and flybuys points – provided flybuys with new ways of surprising and delighting its members.

“We’re delighted to be regarded as the top Aussie loyalty program for six times running now, but far from resting on our laurels, we’ll continue to look at ways to ensure that our members continue to put flybuys at the top of their list for 2020 and beyond.”

To achieve better sales and profits, most companies could be doing more to cultivate business from their existing customers. However, enthusiasm for customer-retaining strategies must not endanger sound customer-getting efforts. How companies balance the two is the big question. To intensify reaching old customers while still seeking new ones, for many firms, will mean changes in market analysis, planning systems, management incentives, and marketing and/or operations organization. In the rush toward growth, consumer marketers have tended to regard success as stemming from obtaining new customers while unwittingly minimizing the importance of satisfying old ones. It is time for more companies to distinguish between their getting and retaining functions, to assess the balance between them, and to remedy any deficiencies in customer retention. This process requires management to value the potential of current customers and to treat them in special ways to get them to keep coming back. Several major elements should be part of the new marketing mix for customer retention: Product extras Keeping customers frequently requires giving them more than the basic product that initially attracted them. Product extras for individual customers over time can play a sales-expansive role. Reinforcing promotions Product promotion works better when aimed at existing customers. If a marketer knows who these customers are, benefits can be obtained by giving them reinforcing communications. Sales force connections The sales force can play a decisive role in the customer-retention function. At a retail or service counter the salesperson is the focal point of the company's strategy and is the firm to the customer. Post-purchase communication A company must anticipate that some customers will encounter either minor or serious problems after purchasing. If the firm is not ready to hear and correct these difficulties, the customer may not repurchase  or may cancel the the relationship. Whether company or customer is at fault, standby post-purchase activities can be instrumental in saving these customers.
