Indigo Celebrates Two Sweet Milestones with plum rewards
- plum rewards Wins 2012 COLLOQUY Loyalty Award and Five Million Members -
TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Indigo is proud to be recognized by its industry peers and the millions of Canadians who have joined their free, points-based loyalty program, plum rewards. Indigo's plum rewards received top honours at the 3rd Annual COLLOQUY Loyalty Awards - an event presented by LoyaltyOne and Visa to honor groundbreaking innovations in loyalty. At the awards ceremony during the 10th Annual COLLOQUY Loyalty Summit in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, plum rewards won the coveted title over dozens of other entries for Loyalty Innovation in Retail.
"Indigo's multi-pronged approach to fostering loyalty combines advanced data analysis with compelling recognition benefits," said Kelly Hlavinka, Managing Partner of COLLOQUY. "This translates to uniquely relevant experiences for its customers, resulting in greater engagement."
In less than 18 months, five million Canadians from coast to coast have signed up to get the most in membership at Indigo, Chapters and Coles stores. Since the April 2011 launch, plum rewards members have collected seven billion plum points and are redeeming them for outstanding new reads, exclusive Indigo home décor accessories and sought after IndigoKids toys.
"We set out to amplify our commitment to best-in-class customer service with plum rewards and we're thrilled that Canadians have responded so passionately to the program in such a short time," notes Elizabeth Gladney, Director, Loyalty Marketing, Indigo Books & Music Inc. "We're encouraged by the substantial community that we've built through plum rewards, and the positive feedback we continue to receive from members."
Designed in response to customer feedback, plum rewards helps shoppers discover products that match their interests and passions while rewarding and recognizing their purchases. Plum rewards members can collect points on virtually every in-store purchase, have self-service access to personalized recommendations and offers online or at in-store kiosks and enjoy special member pricing on online book purchases.
