Loyalty Expo Session Examines Re-establishing Customer Loyalty Strategy
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- Leading animal pharmaceutical company Merial will discuss how it partnered with rDialogue to re-establish Merial’s loyalty strategy at the highly anticipated 7th Annual Loyalty Expo, presented by Loyalty360 – The Loyalty Marketer’s Association. The event is scheduled for March 17-19, 2014, at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
The session titled, “Integrated Loyalty and Customer Segmentation: From Product-centric to Customer-centric and Incremental Revenue,” will highlight how Merial’s new loyalty strategy not only drives revenue, but also acts as a mechanism for share growth and brand evolution.
The session will demonstrate the value of integrated loyalty marketing coupled with proprietary customer segmentation. It will show how rebuilding Merial’s Advance and Select loyalty programs with a new tier structure, benefits set, and integrated CRM program has impacted the business and sparked results.
Merial faced stiff competition across all aspects of its business, especially with a brand like Frontline coming off patent and new brands entering the market. With new parent company Sanofi challenging the Vaccines and Therapeutics marketing team to find an incremental 10% in revenue for 2013, Merial took a different approach unlike typical price-cutting and promotion. Instead, Merial sought to establish a new platform for customer engagement and move from product-centric programs to customer-centric loyalty marketing.
Vangie Williams, head of Merial’s Vaccine and Therapeutics group, and Phil Rubin, CEO of rDialogue, will be the featured speakers during this amazing session.
“Merial’s story is incredibly unique and interesting because it took the road less traveled toward a revamped loyalty strategy and a critical shift in orientation around its customers,” shared Loyalty360 President Erin Raese.
Merial’s Williams adds: “Creating and keeping customers is what successful businesses do well. But in a time of economic challenge, on-demand information, and a proliferation of product choices for customers, business as usual may not be enough to grow. In our session, we’ll discuss how Merial will be working with rDialogue to drive innovation in B2B customer loyalty. From the use of data and segmentation for both insights and execution, to an integration and re-deployment of existing programs, we are finding ways to marshal our business resources to create new opportunities for our customers and continued growth for Merial.”
This expansive and exclusive loyalty event geared toward building successful and lasting customer relationships includes three jam-packed days of networking, interactive sessions, and workshops led by several of today’s elite marketing minds. Attendees will meet their peers to discuss pressing marketing challenges, opportunities, and solutions.
