CUSTOMER LOYALTY - STUDY BASED ON CONSUMER HABITS
Loyalty program; Marketing of relationship; Retail.
The objective of this project is to understand the importance of loyalty programs in business strategy in the small and medium retail of Natal / RN. Loyalty programs emerged in the 1980s to bring consumers closer to businesses, becoming a customer retention mechanism, and also building a sense of belonging with a brand. The pattern of consumer behavior has been changing at ever smaller intervals and knowing the stimuli that potentiate this change will give the company a strategic advantage over other competitors. The survey will be developed through a questionnaire, seeking to understand the non-use of this loyalty solution by local retailers. The expected result is to understand why this strategy is not being used, as well as to suggest a path based on the questions to be discovered.
