The New Era of Loyalty Programs: Beyond “Points” – It’s About Customer Behavior Data
What is a Loyalty Point System?
A loyalty point system is a mechanism businesses use to encourage repeat visits and purchases, by giving points for various activities, such as:
- Purchasing products
- Registering accounts
- Referring friends
- Writing reviews
- Joining social media campaigns or events
But the real value isn’t in the points themselves — it’s in knowing what your customers do, when, and how often.
Loyalty programs aren’t just about “points”
Smart businesses don’t just look at who has the most points.
They “read” where those points come from, for example:
📈 Purchase Behavior
Points earned from frequent, high-value purchases often indicate VIP customers.
This differs from customers who shop only once a year but spend all their points — loyalty programs can help classify customers on a deeper level.
💬 Engagement Behavior
Customers who earn points by liking, sharing, reviewing, or joining activities aren’t frequent buyers, but they love the brand — and could become brand advocates in the future.
📊 Omni-channel Touchpoints
Points earned across LINE, apps, websites, or physical stores reveal which channels customers use to interact with the brand most — helping businesses design smoother customer journeys.
A good loyalty program should do more than just “track points”
- Offer diverse ways to earn points, such as sharing posts or completing missions
- Show real-time point balances and rewards to customers
- Use point data to “recommend personalized campaigns”
- Instantly analyze and segment customers based on their point-earning behavior
