		Loyalty retailers don't talk specific costs, but it is clear from this information alone that running such schemes involves large sums of money.
		Stone explains a possible motivation behind any loyalty scheme: "In every sector, the top 20% of customers give 80% of the profit." No retailer would call the mechanics of their loyalty scheme discriminatory, but here, according to Stone, is how it might work.
		Loyalty retailers typically cite long lists of "partners" who are permitted to contact you unless you state otherwise on the application form, but Gierkink speaks for most when he describes Nectar as "more careful than the data protection laws require us to be".

		The loyalty programme gives us a way of identifying specific customers, and tying their demographic records to their transaction records in the back-end database (whether that be an in-house collection of databases, an enterprise-wide CRM system, or some other data warehouse that's being updated, analysed, and used across the whole business).
		Building loyalty online is always going to be a challenge because of the ease with which consumers can find new suppliers and change their allegiances.
		Loyalty requires a relationship, and the ability for the programme's operator to collect accurate data about consumers - and their preferences and spending habits.

		Loyalty programmes are known for some of their more obvious effects - such as increasing spend (and therefore customer lifetime value), and better retention - but they can also achieve a number of other things that impact the company's business strategy, operational efficiency, human resources policy, and more.
		Well, loyalty cards are just one element of the overall shopping experience, rather than the prime reason for choosing a particular store, while factors such as price, quality, service, and convenience contribute more to fostering loyal shoppers, according to consumer research food and grocery think-tank, IGD.
		The loyalty programme gives us a way of identifying specific customers, and tying their demographic records to their transaction records in the back-end database (whether that be an in-house collection of databases, an enterprise-wide CRM system, or some other data warehouse that's being updated, analysed, and used across the whole business).Business intelligence starts with data.

	ARTicles: Ange -- The card up their sleeve
		"Loyalty cards drove the whole push to say, 'We must know everything about you.' RFID is the logical endpoint," she says.
		"While the loyalty card enables you to find out who is buying what, with RFID you can clinch the deal and follow the product into people's homes." Albrecht adds that, potentially, the data in product tags could be updated at the checkout to include customer details.
		Loyalty card-holders often say that, while they aren't that happy about being monitored by supermarkets, they have fallen into a honey trap.

		The office had not made a single cent out of them (there were other minor benefits though), and since the Koreans had nailed down every cost, they had to bear the extras, and they did, and Dorje made a good cut.
