Loyalty programs have evolved from merely accumulating points to becoming a strategic relationship tool. The key differentiator today lies in how companies use customer data to create personalized, relevant, and truly attractive experiences.
Customers expect brands to know them, understand their habits, and offer something that makes sense in their daily lives. When a loyalty program is generic, engagement tends to be low. Personalization, on the other hand, increases the perception of value and strengthens the emotional bond with the brand.

Purchase history: frequency, average ticket, and most consumed categories.
