Picture this: Immediately after a customer buys a sandwich at one of your locations, her smartphone buzzes with an email inviting her to take a survey about her purchase experience. As soon as she submits her responses, your marketing team knows how she felt about the food and service quality, how likely she might be to purchase that same sandwich again, and more!

Say a member of your loyalty program – let’s call him Joe – provides his home address when he signs up for your program. You have a location one mile away from Joe’s address, and you send him lunch offers on a regular basis, but he never redeems them. What gives? It turns out that Joe works 20 miles away from where he lives, so he is never in the area around lunch time. A better use of marketing resources would be to send him dinner offers. […]
