Panel I: Loyalty Coalition: Overcoming the dilemma

The jury is still out on how successful loyalty initiatives based on partnerships will be in a largely unorganised retail space. What are the emerging trends that challenge this status quo? How are retailers and bankers going about their business to overcome any disadvantages associated with coalition loyalty programs? Can any learnings be derived from hospitality, airlines, and travel industries on how loyalty coalition has worked for them?

Panel II: Increasing Consumer outreach: Can banks scale up consumers for retailers?

A combined loyalty program can not only cultivate loyalty but can also help retail brands create and sustain new consumer segments.

Panel IV: Designing effective loyalty programs for online consumers: Reducing churn beyond deals & offers

Online retailers are spending a bomb on deals, offers & freebies to acquire customers online. However, most of these offers are not sustainable in the longer run and after a point, when these offers cease to exist, the retailers run the risk of losing out on a major chunk of these customers. What are the online retailers doing to put a hook into loyal customers? What can make these customers loyal to stay with them and not go to someone else who starts offering deals? Is there a key behind designing loyalty programs for online customers?
