  • The Loyalty Trap
    The Loyalty Trap 2017 | Stephen Shaw Ever since reward programs first became popular over fifty years ago, marketers have been trapped into thinking that customer loyalty can be bought. But customers today are looking for more than just rewards – they want to be treated honestly and fairly. She jokingly refers to it as her “hobby”. Every weekend, before heading out to shop, she scans the grocery and drug store flyers in search of deals. But she’s not looking for ordinary coupons and discounts – she’s searching for Air Miles offers. She is an avid points collector, hooked on earning miles, and loves to play the loyalty game: taking advantage of bonus miles and special promotions, just so she can cash them in for free trips. A typical calculation might go something like this: “Robaxacet Platinum gets me 10 miles for buying two. But that’s still pretty expensive. If I wait for the drug store’s standard deal – spend a total of $50 to get 100 miles – am I further ahead?” She works diligently at collecting those miles – so diligently in fact that when Air Miles occasionally bungles a transaction by failing to award her the right number of miles, she’s instantly on the phone to them, The coalition program Air Miles demanding a correction. Of course, whenever she has dominates loyalty marketing in Canada to wait longer than necessary “due to unexpected call with 9 million “collectors” volume”, which is much of the time, her indignation grows by the minute. Even more bothersome: the ordeal she has to go through to redeem those hard-earned miles.

  • A History of the Canadian Dollar Provinces
    Appendix B Alternative Money This history has focused on legal tender money in Canada, that is to say money that has been approved by the authorities for paying debts or settling transactions. Canada also has a rich history of private money—coins and paper scrip produced by individuals and companies, which commanded sufficient confidence within a commu- nity that they circulated freely. “Bons” and tokens Montréal, George King note, 1772 Through much of the colonial period in This note and others issued by the local merchant George King were New France and later in British North America, denominated in “coppers,” a conventional designation for a halfpenny. merchants, and even individuals, issued paper scrip. The paper scrip was not backed by gold or silver but could be used to buy goods in the issuers’ stores—a sort of IOU, which quickly began to change hands as money. The value of notes and the extent of their circulation depended on the reputation of the issuer. In Upper and Lower Canada, such fractional notes (known as bons after “Bon pour,” the French for “Good for,” the first words on many such notes) circulated widely during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Fractional notes were also issued by merchants in the Atlantic Halifax, merchant note, 5 shillings, 1820 Until the practice was outlawed in 1820, Halifax merchants commonly issued personalized scrip in low denominations to meet the need for coinage. 92 A History of the Canadian Dollar provinces.
