Loyalty360 Awards Finalist Presentations: Loyalty Program Design

Monday, September 19, 2022 - 3:15 PM - 4:15 PM
The finalists competing in the 2022 Loyalty360 Awards will share details of their programs and strategies in fast-paced, 10-12 minute presentations. These presentations give attendees a chance to hear first-hand from the brands that are delivering experiences that set them apart from the competition in creating loyal customers. 

As a part of the award process, all registered conference attendees are eligible to vote for platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention for each category. Winners will be announced during the Loyalty360 Awards ceremony. 

Category Description - Loyalty Program Design
At its core, the most successful loyalty program is more than the sum of its features. While many programs feature similar granular mechanisms, it is how these features work in tandem that gives a program its identity and enables measurable, iterative growth. Finalists for this category will have demonstrated that their program does the little things to ensure that every piece of the loyalty puzzle works together to create a seamless, userfriendly, and effective initiative.
