So much so that <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/06\/why-every-company-needs-a-chief-experience-officer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard Business Review<\/a> claims that customer experience \u201chas become the new marketing\u2026[because] it influences brand perceptions and impacts business performance just as strongly as traditional marketing.\u201d The HBR got it right. CX programs are a new marketing approach that matches its predecessors\u2014and its impact will only grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, many still confuse CX efforts with traditional strategies like loyalty <a href=\"https:\/\/inmoment.com\/roles\/marketing\/\">marketing<\/a> programs. But there\u2019s a fine line between the two\u2014and marketers should be warned that this is a place where \u201csimilar\u201d definitely does not mean \u201cequal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this paper, we\u2019ll discuss the differences between loyalty marketing programs and CX programs, and why a CX mindset can empower your loyalty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loyalty Marketing Programs Versus CX Programs <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loyalty marketing programs refer to company-wide initiatives that is focused on growing and retaining existing customers by selling them more. CX programs help businesses understand the customer\/brand relationship and what makes the customer loyal to the brand in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key difference between the two is in their approach: loyalty marketing is selling\u2014often through incentives\u2014while customer experience focuses on the ongoing conversation with the customer to then drive a deeper sense of loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where a traditional approach to loyalty programs goes wrong: At the end of the day, your customers don\u2019t want to be bought with coupons, infrequent freebies, and discounts. While customer appreciate them, those benefits do not make them more loyal to your brand. Customers want to feel valued and heard. If you look through the lens of customer experience, you can reset your loyalty marketing programs to take a more holistic, relationship-centric approach that will truly impress your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Do It?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Ways a CX Mindset Takes Your Loyalty Program to the Next Level<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Want to finish reading the full white paper and discover three ways the intelligence you gain from your CX program can help you fine tune your loyalty marketing program? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can download the full piece as a PDF by selecting the button below<\/em>, <em>no strings attached!
