Why Loyalty Programs are the Future of Commerce

S1E11 – The Retail Avengers & The Legions of Loyalty

Welcome to Season 1, Episode 11 of The Retail Razor Show!

As a retailer transforming your business post-pandemic, where do you stand on customer loyalty and loyalty programs?

The Retail Avengers team is back for a topic so big, and so challenging, we brought in TWO special guests to tackle the future of loyalty in retail: Erin Raese, co-founder of Loyalty 360, a cutting-edge association for research, best practices, and networking opportunities for loyalty practitioners, and now the global SVP of revenue for Annex Cloud; and Alicia Esposito, VP of Content for Retail Touchpoints and a fellow RETHINK Retail top retail influencer!

Together the team covers a wide range of loyalty topics, while hosts Ricardo & Casey wrap up with a few key thoughts on the latest technology trends driving the future of customer loyalty. Don’t be surprised if they dig into web3, NFTs, and crypto before the end of this pod!
