Ideas to encourage customers to spend
more per visit
Loyalty Program Mechanics: Instead of doing one point per visit,
do one point for every $5 in spend to encourage more spend per
visit.
Cross-Sell: Starbucks gets customers to spend more by
promoting their baked goods and other food items.
Bundling: Create compelling bundles or packages (buy entrée,
dessert, and drink for $12). Or create compelling package for
groups (buy a large pizza and get an additional medium pizza
for half price).

Loyalty Increases Lifetime Value of Customers
“The development and retention of profitable customer relationships is vital to the health of every business...Companies need to be concerned with the future revenue & profit streams associated with the ongoing satisfaction & retention of their core, profitable customer bases. The companies that fail to recognize this truth overspend in marketing to acquire & retain less profitable, or even unprofitable customers and do not spend enough on keeping profitable ones.”
