Loyalty Programs: Types and Which One Fits Your Business?

Loyalty programs are one of the most effective ways to bring customers back, increase average spend, and build long-term relationships. However — there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

The right program depends on factors like customer behavior, purchase frequency, and average check size.
