The digital age is challenging brands with shifting landscapes and consumer habits that require constant adaptation and reinvention. While companies are striving hard to deliver the high expectations of every consumer, the snag they are presented with is the absence of loyalty among existing customers. Brand loyalty is dwindling. The Northridge Group noted in its ‘State of Customer Service Experience 2019’ report that 72 percent of consumers switch brands after one bad experience. With these figures, one can easily conclude that customers will jump the ship when they see value elsewhere.

“According to an industry insight, 90 per cent of loyalty programmes are a failure today. Businesses today have only five – 10 per cent of repeat customers. There is lack in awareness about the importance of offering personalised benefits to customers and creating emotional push for making a purchase. Froogal is working towards redefining a loyalty programme strategy. Its a win-win situation for both the consumers and businesses, which they need to understand, yet,” Jeevan concludes.
