Loyalogy, a leading provider of loyalty program strategy, analysis and research, is planning its 2018 study of consumer behavior with restaurant loyalty programs. This will be the third comprehensive study released by Loyalogy and will include new categories of content.
Loyalogy will allow restaurant companies to become more active in the research process for this study and receive a customized research report. Participating companies may:
- Include email addresses from members of an existing loyalty program or e-mail club to respond to the survey. This will allow comparisons of a restaurant company’s guests to the responses received from a panel.
- Include up to 12 additional custom questions presented only to the members included from the list provided by that restaurant company.
- Participating companies receive a custom report and a full detailed data-set of the results.
- For more information on this custom option, contact Dennis Duffy, president of Loyalogy at dennis@loyalogy.com.
The core study will be based on 1,100 responses from research panel consumers between the ages of 25 and 65 with household incomes over $75,000. The study will include approximately 70 questions.
