Referral / Loyalty

Loyalty models grow their fortune by making it “profitable” for a customer to never shop anywhere else. You don’t need a marketing agency’s permission to grow when your own fans are doing the selling for you. The secret sauce is the pile of data that knows exactly what a customer wants before they even ask for it. This model turns a one-time buyer into a lifetime source of steady income. Sephora and Starbucks use this to build a fortress that competitors can’t break into.
