Bribing customers is easy and, as with most easy initiatives, not very profitable. Banks have been in and out of rewards programs for decades – but their focus ebbs and flows depending on the economic cycle as well as the regulatory framework.

Reward programs still have an important part to play in this effort; but they are only part of the picture.

Change in the legacy loyalty platform, on the other hand, has been difficult and expensive, because the vendor must be supportive, if not fully engaged for nearly any desired change to functionality.

Broadly speaking, most of the chains’ loyalty efforts have been in proprietary, albeit digitalized versions of the original S&H program: collecting in order to redeem for rewards, some digital couponing, and pushing out offers via a mobile app. But South Africa’s first-place ranked program isn’t a grocer at all, but a pharmacy.
