TribeologyBlog.com – Episode #606 – Be Rewarding

Quote: “If the reward isn’t good enough it will be too easy to talk yourself out of it”

Look what I got in the mail!  The new edition of the Vineyard Vines catalog.

The back page detailed their spring break offer.  There are three different gifts, a hat, bag, and beach towel that you can get for free with increasing purchase amounts.

Here’s what I love, the more you spend, you don’t give up one item, but you keep it and gain the next.

Now even cooler than this was the back of one of our tool supply company catalogs.  I opened it up shortly after soaking in my Vineyards Vines vibe… anyway – in the catalog it had an entire 8 page spread of rewards.  Things like coolers, radios, golf balls.  Things completely unrelated to the tools.

This is unique!

Imagine being the person responsible for ordering and you get to pick rewards based on dollars spent?!  This just seemed like a really cool idea.

I know there are stores that have loyalty programs online.

But in the real world I haven’t seen a company do this, but it’s a brilliant idea for building loyalty and to keep your customers coming back time after time!

So whether it’s an increasing scale for your shopping or a specific loyalty program that is ongoing, people love free stuff.  They love rewards and being rewarded.

The thing I really enjoyed about the tool company is that it was not company logo items, these were everyday items of value.

So give it a shot!  Look into loyalty programs… it must might be a great way to appreciate your customers.

ProfitCenterCoach.com – Episode 433 – Whoof! A Free Bag of Food!

“Nothing is more attractive than loyalty.”

Friday: Big Money Small Change

I had a busy trip to the dog food store.  OK, the fact that we now have entire stores devoted to dog food really puts into perspective how many people have dogs!

When I was a kid we used to just get the 25 pound bag of food at the grocery store.  My dad tells me stories of how when he was a kid their dog just ate whatever table scraps were left from dinner for the family.

Now a days… we have entire stores full of food for dogs.  Process that for a minute.  Wow.

Well, I went to the store and got his hoof, pig ear, treats, chew stick, can food, toppers and bags of food.

Did you catch that… bagSSSSSS of food.  When I was a kid… our dog ate kibble. That was it. One bag, one flavor.

Well, Mr. Pancake is a bit of a pampered “diva”.  This means he gets a bag of lamb or rabbit, or even kangaroo…. the thing that makes me laugh is that one flavor is called “beef” and not cow.  But back to my topic.

I enjoy going back to the dog food store, time and time again.

Why?

I’m in a magical frequent buyer club!

I do nothing to be in it except tell them my name AND EMAIL.

Occasionally I’ll receive a notice… but the big thing is… they log my purchases (I’m assuming that helps them send me Cow kibble fliers)  But seriously, I don’t have to carry a card to get logged as buying a bag of kangaroo kibble.

Now here’s the super crazy part…. I keep going back without receiving ANY discount.

I show up, buy $200 in items, and receive zero discount!

However, in the event, I continue to buy 10 bags of the same size product, eventually I’ll receive a free bag.  This happened today!  WOO HOOO free bag of food!!!

This is the big money small change trick… had they given me 10% off every time it would not be exciting, or drama building!  BUT, getting an entire bag of food, all at one time, for free… is like a BIG DEAL.

It’s a gift, it’s a present, it’s a FREE BAG OF FOOD!

It’s the same discount, 10% off on a single bag is actually saving all the 10% discounts to make one free bag, all at once!

BUT, if I stop buying, I get zero discount!

Loyalty programs are a pretty cool gig… but think about this whole “free bag” concept.

OH and you know what… each time I stop in I’m told how many more bags I need to purchase until “then next one” is free… so they help me”countdown” along the way.

PS: Mr. Pancake is getting rabbit tomorrow… he love rabbit… gonna be a happy boy!

Tomorrow come back for Try This Day!  PS:  Like my vibe? Join my tribe! start here!
