    It’s no secret that the holiday season is traditionally one of the most important times of year for Retailers to drive revenue growth. However, this year, the global pandemic has completely disrupted traditional shopping behaviour by hindering retailers’ ability to reach shoppers through brick and mortar outlets, and shoppers are predicted to spend less because of job loss and financial uncertainty. Fortunately, there are a number of proven loyalty and rewards strategies that have shown to be more effective in engaging and fostering loyalty in customers, and providing more value back to them at a time when they need it more than ever. During this presentation, join Corentin as he dives into some of these loyalty and rewards solutions, and shares the best ways to activate them this holiday season to reduce Covid’s impact and drive revenue growth.
