The Challenge
Morrisons had built a custom loyalty and promotions solutions in-house which had served them for many years, however, in order to level-up with competitors and meet customers needs when it came to delivering real-time loyalty, discounts and personalisation, the business realised they needed to make a change.
Key challenges included:
- Limited customer engagement with loyalty and promotions due to tech constraints in terms of the number and types of promotions available
- Low value perception and competitive disadvantage with new offers only being released every two weeks
- Frustrated employees having to do manual and repetitive work to set up offers, sometimes leading to errors due to manual processes
- Customer complaints/disengagement due to clunky customer experience/inconsistencies across channels
The Solution
In 2023, Morrisons transitioned to Eagle Eye AIR, going live just 12 weeks after contract signature. This enabled the re-launch of a modernised, data-driven loyalty programme, Morrisons More Card, with a myriad of real-time use cases thanks to Eagle Eye’s direct integration to the POS.
Use cases included:
- More Card Points – Earn 5 points per product
- More Card Fivers – Redeem 5,000 points for a £5 reward, digitally or in print
- My Points Boosters – AI-driven, gamified multi-step offers to encourage incremental spend
- More Card Prices – Exclusive prices for members
- Personalised Coupons and offers – Personalised rewards based on shopping behaviour
- Basket Bonus – Surprise rewards
- More ways to earn – Earn points through Amazon, Deliveroo and More Partners
- More Card Stamps – Collect stamps for every £10 spent to exchange for prizes
- Charity Donations – Donate points to charity
Member Pricing
What is it?
Exclusive pricing for loyalty members, could be on individual items, categories or even supplier funded.
Why it works:
Firstly, give all customers a no brainer reason to sign up to your loyalty scheme and secondly, almost guarantee that members will swipe their card on every transaction to maximise data collection.
Auto Exchange
What is it?
When a customer reaches a specified points threshold, they receive a coupon that is automatically applied to their next shop.
Why it works:
To make sure customers are receiving what they ultimately want from your scheme…value! It is also a good mechanic to ensure those that are not digitally engaged are benefiting from their well-deserved rewards.
Earn at Amazon
What is it?
Shoppers who do their Morrisons grocery shopping on Amazon can earn loyalty points as well as other benefits such as free same day delivery!
Why it works:
Give customers even more flexibility of how they can earn points and more ways to extract value from your scheme by benefiting from partner propositions.
Stamp card campaigns
What is it?
Customers earn exclusive stamps in addition to their regular loyalty rewards when they meet a minimum spend. These stamps can be collected and redeemed for free items, adding an extra layer of fun and incentive to their shopping experience.
Why it works:
Create excitement for customers with a limited-time campaign and reward customers for their loyalty. It also encourages digital engagement with tracking available on the app.
Charity Donations
What is it?
Allow customers to donate their points to a good cause.
Why it works:
Drive deeper emotional engagement and give customers a reason to feel good by donating to causes that are important to them.
Personalized Challenges
What is it?
Enable customers to select from a range of AI-created personalized challenges to participate in where they can earn rewards for stretching their spend on specific branded products.
Why it works:
Extend the use of your app and offer customers more ways to earn through profitable by design challenges which are fully-funded by suppliers.
