This assessment of the current situation has to be done before designing a new programme or changing an existing loyalty scheme. The loyalty assessment starts with an analysis of the current market structure. Based on that, the customers’ behaviour and their (future) needs are analysed. An internal assessment of the company and its products helps identifying possible loyalty programmes.

5. 5 Market and Customer Management - Customer Loyalty 01 Management Summary.ppt © MCM Switzerland Management Summary (4/5) The ENVISION stage is based on the seven layers of the loyalty pyramid Based on a definition of the objectives of loyalty programmes, the envisioning questions for a new or changed programme need to be identified. The envisioning is based on a customer focus. The loyalty programme will then be positioned in the mindset of the target customers. Out of these positioning, the programme will become concrete according to the offers and the cost benefit structure. The communication of the programme builds the last envisioning part. The whole envisioning process is supported by several tools, which can be used for specific questions: Target Group Simulator analyses different customer product and service portfolios in a loyalty programme towards possible target customer groups. Offering Simulator shows the impact of a changed offering in a loyalty programme on cost. Business Plan Simulator for calculating the costs, benefits, net present values as well as the payback period of a loyalty programme.
