Marketing research consistently demonstrates that retaining existing customers is easier than establishing new ones. Integral to keeping customers is providing incentives that will inspire their loyalty. Customer-loyalty cards are an excellent marketing tool for rewarding current customers and attracting new ones. Incentives such as points accumulated for gifts, vacation trips, discounts on future purchases, and other premiums can be established with a customer-loyalty card program. Through creative solutions and innovative services, IPC is helping an array of companies implement such programs.

IPC has a proven expertise in developing specialized services for customer-loyalty card programs. Whether they are grocery store, hotel/casino, frequent diner, frequent flyer or other loyalty card programs, lPC can shape an overall package that encompasses card design through direct-mailing of cards and marketing inserts to your customers.

Gift cards are becoming a popular marketing product that is attractive to both merchants and consumers. Revenues earned on gift cards can add up quickly and are preferred to paper gift certificates. Gift cards provide incremental sales, attract new customers, and engender loyalty. Contact IPC on implementing a program for you.

With local grocery markets being replaced by national and regional chains, the competition to sustain a loyal customer base is fierce. To retain customers, several grocery markets are offering customer-debit cards that allow for convenient payment of groceries and access to electronic coupons to enhance loyalty and provide discounts to customers.

When purchasing groceries a customer need only slide his/her loyalty-card through an electronic reader at the checkout stand. The reader identifies the data on the magnetic stripe or bar code panel and connects the card holder to a central computer database. This database can access a customer's checking account, allowing for electronic payment of groceries. Also, if there are any manufacturer coupons available on the items purchased they will be automatically deducted from the customer's grocery bill. This system eliminates the time spent writing checks and clipping coupons.

Customer-loyalty cards also pay dividends for store management. Aside from providing a convenience appreciated by customers, management can utilize this automation to track which products are being sold to specific customers. Management can then direct more focused marketing strategies toward these customers. This system also provides on-line verification of a customer's funds so losses associated with bounced and fraudulent checks can be reduced. Grocery store loyalty-cards will continue to grow at a rapid pace.

Hotel/Casino plastic cards are another market IPC is effectively serving. In casinos, customer-loyalty cards are used to track frequent playing time. Customers use these cards by inserting them into a reader while at a gaming table or slot machine. The reader scans the customer access number which ties into a database that tracks playing time. As a customer plays, they create points toward reduced rates during future hotel stays, restaurant discounts and other amenities the casino may offer its frequent customers.

Our enhanced computer and thermal imaging capabilities have placed IPC on the leading edge of this expanding market. A successful program rewards your customers and provides you with data critical in developing a focused marketing plan. Retaining customers will continue to be easier than establishing new ones, so let IPC assist you in designing a card program that will provide you with a competitive edge in the battle for customer loyalty.
