> How to select loyalty partners

Six questions that shortcut your shortlist.

The six-step short-hand our clients use to get from a long list to the providers worth contacting. Every verified vendor in the map answers all six.

01

Do they serve your market?

Are they in your market already, and do they know it?

Example · New ZealandIncentive Solutions is a New Zealand founded and headquartered loyalty provider.
02

Who are their global clients?

Brands you respect offshore work with this vendor, and have launched contemporary loyalty strategies with them recently.

Example · New ZealandTask (with a team and office in Auckland), delivers loyalty for McDonalds in 65 markets.
03

How do they deliver locally?

Do they have a team onshore, or in a similar time zone? Down to preference, and not a deal breaker.

Example · New ZealandKognitiv (with teams across the world including Australia), delivers loyalty for Auckland Airport.
04

What categories do they serve?

Does it include your category, and others aligned to yours?

Example · New ZealandSimplicity Loyalty delivers in multiple categories including utilities (Genesis Energy), B2B (Schneider Electric) and QSR (Subway).
05

What partnerships do they have?

Has their solution been deployed with leaders in other categories, perhaps your incumbent marketing vendors?

Example · New ZealandAnnex Cloud has multiple integrations including Salesforce, SAP and Adobe.
06

Are they secure?

What privacy and security regulations do they comply with, and can they prove it?

Example · AustraliaPokitpal is PCI DSS compliant and a CDR data recipient.
