The narrative of loyalty programs in Asia Pacific is undergoing rapid change.
Loyalty programs are proliferating and many are chasing a share of consumer attention. Given the diminishing value of existing loyalty programs and the growing expense of maintaining them, organizations are grappling with tough questions. How can a loyalty program remain relevant? How can it best engage today’s consumers? How can it create a better experience for an organization’s most loyal customers?
Enter the loyalty ecosystem, a network of organizations that enables consumers to earn points at one organization and use them at another.
The loyalty ecosystem is on the minds of many executives. According to a Mastercard-commissioned survey of 150 senior leaders in loyalty across Asia Pacific, when it came to their current plans for investment, notably, some 28% of respondents said they plan to increase their investment in partnership/ecosystem development and another 16% in ecosystem participation, for a total of 44%.
The report explores how loyalty ecosystems are being implemented by leading organizations and shares the results of the Mastercard-commissioned survey of loyalty executives.
In this Asia Pacific report, you’ll learn:
What is a loyalty ecosystem?

How you can develop your organization’s loyalty strategies for a better customer experience:
