Loyalty Expo Europe Announces Two More Exciting New Sessions

• 

Both of these sessions reveal compelling aspects of the inner workings of brands’ ongoing relationships with their customers.

(PRWEB) September 18, 2013

Two exciting new sessions have been announced for the inaugural Loyalty Expo Europe forum, presented by Loyalty 360 – The Loyalty Marketer’s Association. The event is scheduled for Oct. 7-8, 2013 at the Tower Hotel in London.

The first of two sessions added is titled, “Making Change: Insights for the Inevitable,” and will explore best practices for launching loyalty program changes from identifying the market challenge and developing the business case through launching the changes to members – and all the twists and turns along the way.

Anna Lorch, Senior Director, Marriott Rewards and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards, Marriott International, will be the featured speaker. During her fascinating session, Lorch will answer questions such as: How do you identify changes in customer needs or the market? How do you then translate this information into a suite of loyalty program benefits that deliver profitable revenue streams at an acceptable cost? What are best practices for ensuring you have internal alignment to launch major program changes? Once you have internal alignment, how do you ensure your employees at the front line are prepared?

The second new session announced is titled, “From Customer Relationship Management to the ‘Customer-Managed’ Relationship,” and will focus on the state of CRM in the loyalty industry. In recent years, the most significant change has seen the pendulum of control in relationships swing toward the customer. And if so, how can businesses adapt as they shift from traditional CRM to CMR – the Customer-Managed Relationship?

Jamie Anderson, VP/Head of Global Solutions Marketing, CRM, SAP will be the featured speaker for this intriguing session. Anderson is a CRM veteran with over 15 years of experience in the customer-facing solutions space, and has worked with many brands in defining and implementing engaging customer experiences.

“These two sessions speak directly to brands relating to their most coveted asset – the customer,” shared Loyalty 360 President Erin Raese. “Both of these sessions reveal compelling aspects of the inner workings of brands’ ongoing relationships with their customers.”
