THE LYONESSGROUPShopping Community, Loyalty Program und Network Marketing
The internationally acting Lyoness Group is active in three diff erent busi-ness areas: shopping community, customer loyalty program and network marketing. With a view to the competitive situation and to ensure a unique selling point on the international market, these areas were now assigned to two diff erent brands. This way, the company can optimally tailor its communication to the diff erent target groups and sustainably improve its services.
The brand Lyoness unites two business areas: • the cross-industry and cross-country shopping community for consumers • the customer loyalty program for loyalty merchants
Lyoness negotiates special shopping conditions with cooperating companies (“loyalty merchants”) fromthe retail and service sector, which subsequently are given to the Lyoness members in the form of shop-ping benefi ts (such as “Cashback” and “Shopping Points”). In this sense, the Lyoness company acts as a shopping community for consumers and a customer loyalty program for businesses.
Under the new brand Lyconet one business area is run:• the network marketing for freelancers and companies
In sales, which is based on network marketing, independent entrepreneurs can regain the money spenton the purchases made at loyalty merchants in their own personal shopping network and additionally earn money by marketing the Lyoness shopping benefi ts on behalf of Lyconet.

SHOPPINGBENEFITSAccording to the claim “Money back with every purchase” Lyoness off ers the chance to save money by being part of a cross-industry and cross-country shopping community. Lyoness members benefi t at all Lyoness loyalty merchants from Cashback and Shopping Points.
CashbackFor every purchase made at a loyalty merchant, members automatically receive up to 5% of the purchase value, which is then booked on to a virtual cash account. When 5 euros or more are collected (amount varies by country) this money will be transferred to the member‘s private bank account.
Shopping PointsBesides Cashback Lyoness members also get Shopping Points for every purchase made at online and offl ine loyalty merchants. Members can use the Shopping Points on exclusive deals and rede-em them for labelled products or services. The number of Shopping Points received depends on the value of the purchase and the particular Lyoness shopping benefi t agreed on at the selected loyalty merchant.

SHOPPINGOPPORTUNITIESWhen shopping with Lyoness, members get money back and collect Shopping Points. For every purchase made at a loyalty merchant, members automatically receive up to 5% Cashback and Shopping Points (percentage of all shopping benefi ts defi ned by the merchant), which are credited to a personal cash account. At a certain balance (e.g. 5 euro in Austria), this amount will be transferred to the member‘s private bank account – saving money is that simple!
Members can check the current status of their shopping benefi ts any time at LYONESS.COM in their personal profi le.
The Lyoness Cashback Card works like a classic advantage card. The accumula-ted Cashback is being collected on the member‘s personal cash account. With the Prepaid Lyoness MasterCard®, a prepaid credit card with Cashback Card func-tionality, members can make payments and receive Cashback at loyalty mer-chants.
With Vouchers it is possible to pay cashless and save money at a variety of lo-yalty merchants. Vouchers are available upon writing, by phone, at voucher selling points or in the respective Lyoness member service offi ce. They can also be used digitally on mobile devices.
With Lyoness members also can save money via Online Shopping. Members ea-sily can visit the desired online shop via the Lyoness online shopping portal at LYONESS.COM.

EFFICIENT CUSTOMER BINDINGLyoness off ers companies in the retail and service sector the opportunity to gain new customers by using an effi cient customer loyalty program. Loyalty merchants will increase their market share by continuously growing sales resulting from higher purchases.
This is achieved through the active control of customer streams, the money-back-advantage and with only one card. Lyoness members specifi cally shop at loyalty merchants in order to get money back with every purchase – a purchasing power that directly benefi ts the loyalty merchant. Due to the increasing number of shoppers, companies that off er one or more of the Lyoness shopping opportunities, realize higher sales and can thus pass on special conditions (e.g. in the form of Shopping Point deals) to the Lyoness members.
In addition, Lyoness loyalty merchants save costs for advertisement and marketing measures as they areincluded in the loyalty program: Lyoness actively promotes its merchants and their exclusive off eringswithin the shopping community – on all available channels.
Benefi ts of a cooperation
• gaining new customers• expanding market share• effi cient customer binding• higher customer frequency and purchase turnover• excusive multichannel marketing• image development and brand expansion
