  • Networks, Alliances and Loyalty Programs in Australia: Power Not

ABSTRACT Previous research on loyalty programs in Australia has shown the benefits gained by partners in these programs. This paper develops this research and introduces the concept of network development in loyalty programs. It builds on the theory of network development (Hertz and Mattson, 2004) and uses the role of strategic alliances to explain the implications of networks for the success of loyalty programs. The loyalty program utilised in this paper is FlyBuys which is run by Loyalty Pacific, a joint venture formed by National Australia Bank, Shell Australia and the Coles Myer Group. The initiators of Pacific Loyalty recognised the need to increase and improve their individual customer databases. The development, maintenance and usage of a data system that size, requires special skills and a large financial commitment. A sophisticated hardware and software solution is essential in order to track and manage the growing amount of data, transactions and services offered such as statements, service call centre and point collections.

  • Essays on Strategic Interaction Via Consumer Rewards Programs
    Essays on Strategic Interaction via Consumer Rewards Programs Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ross Arthur Brater, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Economics The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Huanxing Yang, Advisor Dan Levin Lixin Ye c Copyright by Ross Arthur Brater 2014 Abstract Consumer rewards programs are seemingly ubiquitous, including airline frequent- flyer and hotel frequent-stay programs, fuel rewards perks, and cash-back credit card offers. Regardless of the setting, a common characteristic of these programs is that eligibility for a firm’s reward imposes a switching cost on the eligible consumer, which tends to dampen competition for reward-eligible consumers. Consequently, consumers rationally exhibit reduced demand elasticity in markets where purchasing a particular product leads to eligibility for a future reward. The following chapters examine the use of rewards programs by firms in different environments. In the first chapter, I study a differentiated-products oligopoly where firms directly compete only with their nearest rivals, and I examine the practice of firms offering loyalty discounts to not only their own repeat customers but also to past customers of an affiliated firm. If rational, forward-looking consumers are uncertain about which firms they will patronize in the future, these types of partnerships between firms enhance the effect that a particular reward has in initially attracting consumers to the partnered firms. In particular, partnerships between firms are most effective when firms who do not normally compete directly decide to partner with one another.

Only familiarity prevents us from marvelling at the mysteriousness of this ‘phase change’, as physicists call it. Nevertheless, we’ve witnessed a similar phase change as the physical hardware that delivered the phone network was repurposed to also deliver a new network – the Internet. And where the phone network depended on point-to-point connections, the Internet connects people via packets of information that travel through cyberspace until they arrive at their address. Initially, the old ‘connect first’ phone network was monopolistically competitive. The upshot of that market structure has produced all manner of frustrations and complexities, such as incomprehensible pricing structures and prices way above cost for peripheral services such as texting and international roaming. However, all this is different online because of the different market structure produced when each node in the network helps out – redirecting digital packets in return for reciprocal help from other nodes.

  • 'Woolworths Rewards' Program
    ACRS Review of Woolworths ‘Woolworths Rewards’ program Commissioned by Woolworths Food Group Background Monash Business School’s Australian Consumer, Retail and Services (ACRS) research unit was commissioned by Woolworths Food Group to conduct an independent assessment of data regarding the new ‘Woolworths Rewards (WR)’ program. This program replaces the existing Everyday Rewards scheme and removes, from 1 January 2016, the ability to earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points. Instead, this program uses a deferred discount system applied to selected items throughout Woolworths and BWS stores, and to be redeemed in Woolworths and BWS stores. ACRS was commissioned to review the structure of the Woolworths Rewards program, and estimate its relative benefits compared to the existing Everyday Rewards scheme and the Coles FlyBuys scheme. In particular, ACRS reviewed the following: 1. Whether the Woolworths Rewards program would return more or less value to the average shopper compared to Everyday Rewards. 2. Whether the average shopper is able to earn a $10 reward more or less quickly with the Woolworths Rewards program compared to the Coles FlyBuys scheme. 3. Overall whether the Woolworths Rewards program returns more value to consumers compared to either Everyday Rewards or FlyBuys Methodology A variety of data sources were used to conduct this review. Data regarding the average value per shopping occasion and average occasions per week were based on estimates provided by Woolworths. These figures were then used to calculate the estimated number of loyalty points the average shopper would earn during an average shopping trip. The approximate dollar value of points in each program was calculated using a variety of methods: 1.
