Project Description:
In terms of revenue contribution, IPG Supplies was a critical market for HP. The difficult market position made ‘customer retention' a critical business imperative. Together with HP, we identified the opportunity for a loyalty program. Customer enrollment, valuation and reward redemptions were a key component for IPG to meet its business goals on the SMB Supplies segment.
To address the ‘Customer Retention' business imperative successfully while keeping the current external channel network, we advised HP to break the ‘indirect model philosophy' and start engaging customers directly for improved retention. From this vision emerged a loyalty program framework. As a second step, we defined the retention focus areas in order to prioritize program components & functionalities. Siebel 7.5.2 Contact Center* and Analytics Modules were selected as the base CRM technology for the program. Current program enrollment confirms that value is delivered to the target customers.

Wachovia, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a diversified, wholly owned financial services subsidiary of Wells Fargo. Wachovia Corporation was purchased by Wells Fargo on December 31, 2008, and it ceased to be an independent corporation on that date.
Project Description:
Wachovia had piloted a rewards program that covered a range of retail products and services. This represented one of the first programs in the U.S. to encourage and reward use of a range of financial service products. The pilot did not provide the lift desired; new customer acquisitions were below expectations, and while there appeared to be some deepening of wallet share, the results were inconclusive. The pilot was constrained in its limited inclusion of the Bank's business areas, with Wachovia Securities and Wealth Management being excluded.
Given the importance of fostering deeper and broader customer relationships, Wachovia liked to assess how to move forward, considering both whether a rewards program should be undertaken, and under what conditions and with what design elements and structure.
Our emphasis was on a number of traits, including: Clear focus on which customers are targeted, and which behaviors are incented. The Linkage to overall corporate strategy, brand and marketing efforts. Attractive, relevant reward offerings that balance between breadth, simplicity, tangibility and aspirational . Operational elements that provide for a positive customer experience (e.g., account monitoring, redemption process).
