"A large proportion of those who shop are members of the loyalty program. I have no doubt that much of the growth is due to increased loyalty from members. I am sure it's an important factor."

Kai Gulbrandsen

CEO, Princess retail chain

"The loyalty program button is on the front page of the cash register, so everything is automatic. Our members use the stamp cards and coupons because it’s so easy to use. We see that we get higher sales from members than non-members."

"Data is the new gold. It is essential that purchase information and customer data form the foundation for all good customer dialogues. Having control over this is in my opinion absolutely crucial."
