London Designer Outlet Delights Shoppers with One Wembley Park VIP Event
Objectives
London Designer Outlet (LDO) aimed to promote its loyalty program “One Wembley Park” to a broader audience by executing a week-long VIP loyalty campaign designed to boost member acquisition and promote customer spending in 2023.
The campaign objective was to foster deeper engagement with existing loyalty members, attract new customers and ultimately generate revenue for the center’s retail brands. The events sought to emphasize the program’s visibility through its newsletter database, social media followers, and existing loyalty members.
Exclusive offers were uploaded to the loyalty app and used to encourage membership growth, stimulate offer redemptions, and drive overall spending. The Coniq platform played a pivotal role in actively monitoring the event's progress and measuring customer engagement.
Solution
Leveraging Coniq's platform capabilities, the team was able to effectively upload offers to the loyalty app. Members were given the opportunity to double their loyalty points on all transactions, motivating them to progress through the program's tiers and unlock even more special offers. Popular brands included Kurt Geiger, Weekend Offender and many others offered shoppers up to 20% their purchases! The use of analytics tools provided detailed insights into transaction data and key performance indicators, allowing the team to measure the campaign's impact.
Campaign
Coniq's in-store scanners contributed to a seamless user experience, allowing customers to earn and redeem rewards, visible through the app. The center employed a multi-channel approach, incorporating both a digital media presence on Facebook and Instagram, with onsite posters and menu boards. The center also implemented radio and mobile campaigns, live events, center hostesses, DJs, and special activities for children. The modern app design enhanced user-friendly engagement, while POS scanners allowed shoppers to redeem offers easily. The integration with Coniq enabled brands to capture transactional data and track the number of store visits.
Brand Engagement
During the VIP Event, One Wembley Park witnessed a significant rise in brand engagement, with 70% of brands submitting more than 40 offers for the event. The campaign saw twenty additional brands sign up to partake in the event. Even brands that did not submit offers still saw a significant increase in both traffic and sales during the event, showcasing the benefits for all LDO brands.
LDO prioritizes creating strong relationships with its stores by actively engaging in ongoing brand engagement services provided by Coniq. These services include continuous training on the loyalty program, technical tools (such as scanners), monthly on-site visits, and implementing a streamlined system for collecting brand offers. The Coniq email editor played a crucial role in creating visually appealing and targeted emails, resulting in an average open rate of 33%. The campaign successfully captured valuable transactional data and deeper insights into LDO customers' profiles and personas.
