Praise for Loyalty The Complete Guide

Loyalty The Complete Guide is an extremely valuable resource for loyalty and marketing professionals. In fact, I found it so helpful that Eagle Eye now buys a copy for every new member of our sales team to give them a comprehensive understanding of the global loyalty landscape. I particularly enjoy the case studies which really bring the concepts to life. Highly recommended.”
Tim Mason, CEO of Eagle Eye and former Tesco CMO and founder of Clubcard

“An outstanding guide, not only to the mechanics and economics of loyalty programs, but to the behavioural thinking behind loyalty strategy. Having been involved in the loyalty industry for many years, I found it a fascinating source of historical context, a great overview of the industry today, and a practical roadmap to the key drivers of customer value across a range of loyalty program types. A must-have for anyone in the industry."
Neil Thompson, former CEO, Velocity Frequent Flyer

This book gives you a very complete overview of what loyalty programs are, starting from how they were born, to how they are evolving with the current technology. Great book with a very good and extensive research.
