Situation AnalysisIssue and Opportunity IdentificationIn this Scenario USA World Bank (UWB) is financial firm that is struggling to maintain their clients’ satisfaction and loyalty. UWB has been struggling to offer a variety of product and the company has not always launched successful product because of lack of thorough research on needs of the customer. UWB is seeking to add value through implementing a customer loyalty program. UWB has a new vision to expand their consumer and small business relationships. UWB has a goal to improve long-term relationships with their consumers and business customers.
The issue of customer service has become a critical competitive factor to companies. When customers are leaving by the dozens to the competitors, it is senseless to spend huge sums in advertising for new customers. Instead, the company must consider maintaining the existing clientele. On the other hand a fortified company with a solid base of satisfied loyal customers should be able to offer a customer loyalty program to have a direct impact on its long-term profitability.
Gordon (2003) states that it makes sense to focus on retaining and up-selling current customers. It may cost as much as five times more to win a new customer than to keep an old one. So, many companies use loyalty programs for existing customers to build sales more cost-effectively. Customer loyalty programs or reward programs have become essential to Americans where about half belong to at least one. Drugstore chain CVS Corp., for instance, has 32 million “ExtraCare” card members and Regal Entertainment Group rewards frequent moviegoers with free concession food and discounts (Gordon, 2003). By tracking this customer data, companies discover opportunities to identify the needs of their customer base. This process allows the company to develop marketing campaigns to target prospects who share similar characteristics.
Loyalty programs make sense for growing businesses. With successful customer reward programs, companies can enjoy increased sales, can lower marketing costs and can gain invaluable information. Pilecki (2007) states that a growing number of banks are looking to get more out of their existing customers by offering rewards programs that allow consumers to accumulate points that can be cashed in for a variety of items. Some rewards are given for such everyday tasks as writing checks, paying bills online and using debit cards. Mabin (2006) commented that Greg McBride, an analyst for Bankrate Inc., said rewards programs are a growing new trend in the financial services industry even though they have been around at grocery stores and other retailers for a while. In an effort to compete in this environment, retail financial services firms need to raise dramatically the bar on the customer service.
