16. Credit Card Rewards Program vs. Frequent Buyer Rewards Program

17. Our Proposal As proven by the success of its current REDcard rewards program, we suggest that Target adds a frequent buyers program, “Bullseye Buyers,” for its secondary consumers and those primary consumers who are credit card averse. “Bullseye Buyers” will expand Target’s database of consumer information and in effect, increase store traffic.
