Short answer
A customer loyalty program is a structured scheme that rewards repeat customers with points, perks, discounts or status tiers. It encourages retention and higher lifetime value. Member sign-ins also generate rich first-party purchase data, which retailers use for personalization and to power retail media targeting and closed-loop measurement for advertising brands.
