By GlobalDataYotpo CEO and co-founder Tomer Tagrin said: “This year’s data showing continued strong brand loyalty among consumers, supports the idea of a brand renaissance – the same phenomenon fuelling the rise of direct-to-consumer and growth of the modern e-commerce industry.
“But the study also reveals that loyalty is hard-won. Most consumers consider themselves loyal to only a handful of brands. To win, brands need to stay at the top of their game by offering amazing products at a fair price and creating valuable experiences worth coming back to. The survey shows that even loyalty programmes need to excite to drive engagement.”
