A/B testing proved that a rewards program was highly effective in boosting customer retention.
Members in the test group were imported in the rewards program at the time of launch and were awarded points for their past purchases. The points made them eligible for rewards on subsequent purchases. Rewards eligibility was communicated to them through program emails. These emails saw an impressive 45% open rate and a 25% click rate, this indicated a high level of interest among customers for the rewards program.
Group 2 members (control group) were not imported in the program. They were not offered any reward points and were treated to the regular marketing communications from Nature’s Fusions.
At the end of the test period, Zinrelo provided a thorough analysis of the purchase patterns for both the test groups.
It was observed that 15% of the Group 1 members made a repeat purchase whereas only 9% of the Group 2 members made a repeat purchase during the test phase. Thus the repeat purchase rate was 66% higher for loyalty rewards members.
