Customerland

Erin Raese is CRO at Annex Cloud and Erin "gets" loyalty. In this episode we explore the shifting tides of brand loyalty across generations, we'll see why the loyalty game is not just about keeping customers engaged but also about staying relevant. We uncover why almost half of Gen Z and millennials abandon brands due to boredom and how influencers and gamification might be the keys to keeping them interested. Learn from industry leaders like Footlocker and Duolingo, who are successfully engaging these audiences through creative marketing and gamified experiences, while also understanding the broader loyalty trends from boomers to Gen Z.
Discover how brands can captivate the elusive Gen Z demographic by leveraging innovative strategies that cater to their unique preferences. With insights from our special guest from Emarsys, we unveil the fascinating world of loyalty personas such as the "points geek," "gamer," and "socialite," offering brands a roadmap to tailor loyalty programs that genuinely resonate with young consumers.
Then we dive deep into the AI revolution as we discuss its integration into everyday operations and market research. Drawing parallels to the dot-com era, we emphasize the necessity for smart AI adoption and the challenges of navigating its limitations. Hear our reflections on AI's role in enhancing productivity, its quirky failures, and the importance of customer-centricity in harnessing AI's potential. From quirky design failures to the shift from traditional search engines, explore how AI is reshaping the way we work and interact with brands. Join us as we navigate the opportunities and hurdles AI presents and uncover the secrets to aligning with companies that truly value loyalty.
