Loyalty 360 Customer Engagement & Experience Expo Announces Two Featured Sessions
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- Two new featured sessions focusing on transforming social data into increased customers and sales, and moving past punch cards toward a card-linked loyalty solution have been announced for the 3rd Annual Engagement & Experience Expo, presented by Loyalty 360 – The Loyalty Marketer’s Association. The event will be held Nov. 5-7, 2013, at The Westin Galleria in Dallas, Texas. The Engagement & Experience Expo is a golden opportunity for marketers to hear about the latest best practices and emerging trends in customer experience from their peers.
The first featured session titled, “How to Turn Social Feedback & Communities into Customers and Increased Spend,” takes a fascinating look at the story of three fiercely energetic entrepreneurs and how their use of technology has elevated customer engagement above industry averages.
Bob Gold, CEO, Gold Mobile; Dwayne Fry, Founder/Principal, The Experience Institute and Chief Strategy Officer, The Republik; and Paul Sansone Jr., Owner, Sansone Jr’s 66 Automall will be the featured session speakers.
This session will present a fascinating cross-section of consumer products, hospitality, and healthcare. Despite the different focus areas, the key to success for all three has been figuring out an engagement approach which marries consumer lifestyle and social behaviors with brand communications. It is through delivering these targeted communications at the right time that each company empowers behavioral change and action.
The second featured session titled, “Moving Past Punch Cards,” takes an intriguing look at card-linked loyalty programs. Merchants are looking for an easy loyalty program that works, but the challenge is that most loyalty programs require consumers to carry punch cards, magnetic stripe rewards cards, or mobile phone apps.
This session examines a loyalty solution that links consumer contact information (text or email) with his or her credit or debit card, and enrolls the consumer right at the POS.
Jeff Mankoff, CEO and founder of vPromos; and J.R. Smock, owner of Kwik Kar of Frisco -- one of thecountry’s largest quick-service automotive service and repair centers specializing in quick oil changes -- will be the featured speakers for the session.
“These two sessions focus on customer engagement from unique and exciting perspectives,” shared Loyalty 360 President Erin Raese. “Attendees will learn about using social feedback in a practical, measurable, and profitable way. Also, they will hear about a real-world case study that engages customers at the point-of-sale.”
Through varied and pivotal content, the Engagement & Experience Expo has keenly informed the industry with the latest trends by which to create relevant, personal, and customized customer experiences.
