Richard Jones and Tim Glomb welcome loyalty trendspotter and Cheetah Digital by Marigold ’s VP of Global Loyalty Sales Jon Siegal to the podcast to assess those new signs of life sprouting from brands and how investing in loyalty can help them not just stay afloat, but thrive in the pandemic. They also break down why discount programs do not equal loyalty, why reducing friction in transactions increases engagement, and how brands should be repositioning their loyalty programs to deliver offers that drive sales to accelerate recovery.
