THE CHALLENGE
Well, It’s a Pharmacy. Another One.
When we first approached Ljubljana Pharmacy with our consulting services, pharmacies in general were seen as rather generic facilities, so customers didn’t really seem to pay attention to the brand of the pharmacy visited. It was just a pharmacy. Another one.
OUR SOLUTION
Customers Loyal to the Our Pharmacy Brand
As loyalty program design specialists, we introduced the Ljubljana Pharmacy loyalty card, which not only drove customers to individual Ljubljana Pharmacy outlets, but also provided both us and our clients with valuable customer data on which to build a solid CRM and CX program.
Loyalty Program Design
Through in-depth client workshops and market analysis we designed a solid loyalty program supported by mathematical and financial models to ensure financial sustainability along with high perceived value on the customer side. This strategy was focused on supplementary and cosmetic products, as we wanted to avoid persuading customers into buying medicals product that they do not need.
Loyalty Card and its Branding
We’ve designed an extensive branding and marketing program for the loyalty card making it not only distinctive but also appealing to customers and friendly to use. Our system onboarded not only individual customers to the loyalty program, but also their family members.
The communication assets developed covered many different on- and offline media, from the loyalty card itself and signage in pharmacies, to monthly newsletter with the catalogue and other printed material.
Customer Support
The Ljubljana Pharmacies loyalty card was an immediate hit and, as it is still growing, we provide regular customer support via our in-house omnichannel contact center where our agents regularly help members with onboarding, redeeming loyalty points, and other issues.
The contact center also regularly measures the customer experience through a variety of industry-standard metrics.
Customer Experience Program
Along with the loyalty program we also developed the customer experience program based on regular measurements taken by our research and data science team.
The insights help us and other stakeholders further improve services and marketing strategies to achieve higher growth and thereby generating the maximum effect with their marketing money.
