Marigold Annouces Loyalty Essentials

Marigold announces Loyalty Essentials, empowering QSR and Retail marketers with the path to launch a loyalty program within as little as 30 days.

For marketers in need of establishing a powerful, scalable, data-driven loyalty program, Marigold’s Loyalty Essentials provides an intuitive, self-service platform to drive repeat business, personalize customer engagement, and build lasting customer loyalty. And all without the cost or complexity of a traditional enterprise solution.

 

Marigold believes loyalty program features should be available in an approachable, scalable package that can provide marketers the opportunity to maintain and update member profiles and data to better personalize communication with centralized customer insights. These capabilities not only make management of a loyalty program easier, but help deploy reward strategies that go beyond discounts and foster genuine engagement.

 

To learn more about how to make the proper loyalty program investment, and to ensure marketers are asking the right questions throughout the process, resources are available in Marigold’s loyalty buyer’s guide, available at https://meetmarigold.com/resource/rewarding-profit-a-loyalty-buyers-guide-for-growing-brands/?utm_campaign=cd_emea_2025_q4_evt_shoptalk&utm_source=shoptalk&utm_medium=email.
