  • Successful Implementation of Pharmacy Retail Store Loyalty Reward Programs
    International Journal of Applied Management and Technology 2017, Volume 16, Issue 1, Pages 152–165 ©Walden University, LLC, Minneapolis, MN DOI:10.5590/IJAMT.2017.16.1.10 Successful Implementation of Pharmacy Retail Store Loyalty Reward Programs Cristina D. Reinert Saint Leo University Jill A. Murray Walden University and Lackawanna College Loyalty reward programs are utilized within various industries as a key marketing strategy. A successfully implemented loyalty reward program benefits both the consumer and the company. The purpose of this multicase study was to explore strategies that pharmacy retail managers use to deliver loyalty reward programs. The theory of planned behavior was used as the conceptual framework to guide the study. Mobile technology, customer involvement, brand management, and tier-based rewards were the themes that emerged during data analysis. The findings are of interest to pharmacy retail managers and marketers because they are instrumental in implementing a successful loyalty reward program. Keywords: customer, pharmacy retail store, loyalty program, mobile technology, reward program Introduction The U.S. pharmacy retail industry has more than $21 million dollars in monthly sales revenue (U.S. Census Bureau, 2017). The retail, travel, and financial service industries within the United States spend more than $1 billion annually on customer reward programs (Steinhoff & Palmatier, 2016). A reward program is a marketing strategy that is used in the U.S. retail industry that aims to create a positive experience for the customer in exchange for their continued loyalty (Brakus, Schmitt, & Zarantonello, 2009). The results of this study may increase pharmacy managers and marketers understanding of proven effective strategies when implementing a reward program as a marketing tool.

    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA AMBER HOLLIBAUGH Interviewed by KELLY ANDERSON December 15 and 16, 2003, January 20, 2004 New York, New York This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2004 Narrator Amber Lynne Hollibaugh (b.1946), a “lesbian sex radical, ex-hooker, incest survivor, Gypsy child, poor-white-trash, high femme dyke,” grew up in a mixed-race, working-class family near Bakersfield, California. Hollibaugh’s movement politics date back to Freedom Summer in 1964 and she’s been a fulltime movement activist—whether New Left, feminist, or queer—ever since. For the past two decades, Hollibaugh has been at the center of feminist debate over sexuality and a leader in the fight against AIDS. She was the founding director of the Lesbian AIDS Project at the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, the first project of its kind in the nation, and produced an award- winning documentary on women living with AIDS, Heart of the Matter (1994). She is the author of My Dangerous Desires: A Queer Girl Dreaming Her Way Home (2000) and is currently the senior strategist with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Interviewer Kelly Anderson is an educator, historian, and community activist. She has an M.A. in women’s history from Sarah Lawrence College and is a Ph.D. candidate in U.S. History at the CUNY Graduate Center. Abstract In this interview Hollibaugh details growing up in a mixed-race (Romany and Irish), working- poor family in rural California.

  • Testing the Limits of Academic Freedom
    [Vol. 130:712 TESTING THE LIMITS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM The Supreme Court has long identified academic freedom as "a special concern of the First Amendment." 1 Almost all the cases in which claims of academic freedom have arisen, however, 2 have involved the first amendment rights of individual teachers. Although at least one Justice has suggested that academic freedom is an institutional as well as an individual right,3 the Court has not yet issued such a holding. A recent case, Princeton University v. Schmid,4 raised the ques- tion whether private universities enjoy special protection under the first amendment. Although the Court found it unnecessary to decide that question in this case,5 the issue remains a significant one for private universities seeking to challenge governmental regulation. Schmid was perhaps not the best vehicle to resolve this issue. The case concerned the arrest and conviction for trespassing of a nonstudent who distributed leaflets on Princeton's campus. The New Jersey Supreme Court overturned the conviction, holding that the state constitution protected an outsider's right to speak on Princeton's property.6 The court interpreted the state constitution as a guarantee of free speech rights "not only against governmental or public bodies, but under some circumstances against private per- lKeyishian v.

  • Customers' Perceptions and Preferences of Loyalty Programs
    Customers’ Perceptions and Preferences of Loyalty Programs within the Clothing Industry FH Aachen University of Mid Sweden University Applied Sciences Faculty of Business Studies Department of Business, Economics and Law International Business Studies Business Administration Prof. Dr. Gert Hoepner Ph.D. Lars-Anders Byberg 10.06.2018 10.06.2018 Annika Faßbender Matr.Nr.: 3068662 Düren-Lendersdorf, Germany II Abstract Customer loyalty in today‟s fast moving modern world has become a highly competitive business between companies. As a result, companies started to develop loyalty programs such as customer clubs with the aim of attracting and especially retaining customers. This field of research has been chosen for the present thesis as the literature review indicates that there is still room for further and above all more recent studies aiming at broader knowledge concerning loyalty programs serving as a base for marketers to improve companies‟ current and future customer clubs. Therefore, the following thesis pursues the intention to investigate the gaps within current literature with regard to the preferences of the one element that is vital to a customer club – the customers. The study to follow is based on the theoretical background of relationship marketing as customer clubs aim at establishing relationships with their members and hence retain them as customers and gain their loyalty towards the company. Furthermore, the field of research is transferred to a more modern approach by basing it on a developed form of relationship marketing which is e-marketing. Theoretical as well as empirical data concerning customer clubs is derived as well as the theoretical approach of generations with the aim of being able to derive conclusions regarding the preferences of special target groups differentiated by age.

From merging privacy policies to sharing intellectual property, here are five critical issues attorneys say need to be tackled before companies can enjoy the perks of pooling customers. Be Clear About What's Getting Pooled For companies, the allure of partnering with another business on a rewards program — which is often called a coalition loyalty program — is the opportunity to tap into an entirely new customer base. “Each partner gets more customers and they also get the customers that are the most loyal and valuable,” said Allison Fitzpatrick, a partner in the Davis & Gilbert LLP's advertising, marketing and promotions practice group. Additionally, companies learn much more about existing rewards holders. “You know the customer from the hotel experience, but now you know more about the customer because you know what car they like to drive and what restaurants they like to go to.” In an ever-competitive industry, such data is basically a gold mine that helps companies target certain advertisements and deals at certain customers. Coalition rewards programs, however, aren't usually built from scratch, but from the foundations of each companies' legacy loyalty programs.

  • Fideliss Tokenn
    FFIIDDEELLIISS TTOOKKEENN Loyalty Program Platform DeFi Cryptocurrency fideliscrypto.tech Fidelis Fidelis ABSTRACT The Fidelis Platform and the FIDELIS Token (FDLS, Φ) are part of a solution to bring together the most diverse Reward Programs (Loyalty Programs) under the same environment, with blockchain security and support for Smart Contracts such as BSC (Binance Smart Chain). Through the FIDELIS platform, companies will be able to develop their Loyalty Programs in a safe ecosystem, with lower operating costs and with the benefit of being able to advertise their products to customers of various other reward programs. The FIDELIS token will be equivalent to the fidelity points or cashbacks of traditional rewards programs, with the advantage of never expiring and having the possibility of valorization, which benefits both the customer and the company that participates in the FIDELIS Platform. 2 Copyright © 2021 - Plataforma FIDELIS Fidelis INTRODUCTION The world is experiencing a revolution that began timidly in 2009 with the operationalization of the concept of Blockchain and the cryptocurrency BITCOIN, a revolution that is gaining more strength every day. In a few years, the individual who is not included in the world of cryptocurrencies, who does not have at least basic knowledge of how a decentralized economy works, who does not know how to operate with exchanges, wallets, and different tokens, can be considered old before the age of 40. This economic-financial revolution will have roots so deep that it will affect the economies of countries, banking systems, the commercial relationship of individuals with each other and of individuals with material things. The world of cryptocurrencies is still a long way from interacting effectively with the traditional economy.

GREEN & REBECCA ROIPHE* A new and recognizable group of reform-minded prosecutors has assumed the mantle of progressive prosecution. The term is hard to define in part because its adherents embrace a diverse set of policies and priorities. In comparing the contemporary movement with Progressive Era prosecutors, this Article has two related goals. First, it seeks to better define progressive prosecution. Second, it uses a historical comparison to draw some lessons for the current movement. Both groups of prosecutors were elected on a wave of popular support. Unlike today’s mainstream prosecutors who tend to campaign and labor in relative obscurity, these two sets of prosecutors received a good deal of popular attention and support.
