The brand has just closed its twenty-first consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth. And the loyalty program sitting underneath that run has spent the last two years getting simpler, not bigger. Aaron Dauphinee at Wise Marketer Group sits down with Nicholas Kerr, Director of Loyalty and Growth Marketing at Chili’s. (Brinker International) And casual dining may be one of the hardest categories for loyalty. Visit frequency is low, margins are thin, the consumer has been trained on discounts for forty years, and the experience is delivered by people rather than an app. The reflex in that environment is to add: more points, more tiers, more offers. BUT Chili’s went the other way! Listen in to learn how and why. Hosted by Aaron Dauphinee, CLMP™ Show Notes: 1) Nicholas Kerr 2) Chili’s.
