DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 10 February 2021: Salesforce, the global leader in Customer relationship management (CRM), today announced Loyalty Management, a new product for companies across industries, including retail, consumer goods, manufacturing, travel and hospitality, to increase customer trust and engagement.
Built on the Salesforce Customer 360 Platform, Loyalty Management allows companies to build intelligent loyalty programs for both B2B and B2C customers with a flexible, configurable, and quickly deployable solution that fits their specific needs. With Loyalty Management, companies can provide more personalised consumer experiences, evolve their loyalty programs to stay current with customer expectations and help drive business value by creating loyal, lifelong customers.
Introducing Salesforce Loyalty Management
Salesforce Loyalty Management will empower companies across industries, including retail, consumer goods, manufacturing, travel and hospitality, to create engaging and effective loyalty programs with clicks, not code, so that technology can be quickly implemented and easily customised. Loyalty Management is integrated with Salesforce Digital 360, Service Cloud and Tableau, allowing digital leaders to deliver a connected loyalty experience across the entire customer journey.
Salesforce Loyalty Management includes the following capabilities:
- Flexible and complete loyalty platform: Loyalty Management is built on the Salesforce platform so businesses can design a variety of different programs that meet their unique needs. Whether that is a tiered membership program or points per purchase, businesses can flexibly configure earn and redeem rewards programs.
- Personalised loyalty offerings to drive business value: Companies can target different segments of their member base to ensure that offerings to consumers, business customers or partners feel unique and customised to an industry and their customer base. Loyalty Management allows companies to pull in their customer data—including marketing interactions, purchase history and website visits—to create a unified view of the customer and inform the personalised promotions they receive.
- Integrate loyalty throughout the entire organisation with a single source of truth: Because Loyalty Management is integrated into the Salesforce Customer 360, customers can easily sign up for loyalty programs through Salesforce Experience Cloud, and businesses can send personalised content and notifications to customers with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Customer 360 Audiences. In addition, companies can integrate external systems, like a customer data platform, with APIs and integrate third party solutions from Salesforce AppExchange, such as geolocation-based notifications for when a customer is near a store, to enhance their Loyalty Management program. This creates a single source of truth and can empower an entire organisation to strengthen loyalty across every customer interaction.
- Measure loyalty program performance: With Tableau CRM for Loyalty Management, companies can measure program performance, member acquisition and engagement, and partner performance in a dashboard. As business and customer needs change, Loyalty Management allows companies to determine the best path forward and to adjust their programs, including promotions and offers, based on real-time data. For example, a retailer can identify when their members aren’t using their points and offer them new incentives to redeem points to reduce the company’s point liability.

Salesforce global strategic partners Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte and PwC, in addition to consulting partner PK, served as design partners in the development of Loyalty Management and can provide organisations with guidance and solutions to build and strengthen loyalty programs for customers.
