The International Loyalty Awards
Is 2023 YOUR year?
Proven over 11 years as the “Oscars” of Loyalty, the International Loyalty Awards celebrates the world’s most innovative and memorable loyalty initiatives from across six continents. The awards recognise brands that are building lasting and profitable customer relationships and which show innovation, fresh thinking and creativity.
Research is showing that today’s customers are paying particular attention to the rewards they earn and which brands are building relationships with them. They are noticing if this is being done in a meaningful way that recognises their loyalty. In an uncertain world, people rely on what is familiar to them and on the small things that brighten their daily lives, so the role of customer loyalty becomes ever more important. We have focussed, for the launch of the 2023 International Loyalty Award, on the words Customer Centricity, because it is the customer that should be at the heart of all commercial initiatives and central to the loyalty proposition. We would like to see evidence in your entries as to how you are achieving this”
