Kellogg Company (NYSE:K)’s shares dropped -0.14% to $62.13.
Kellogg Company (K) has improved its Family Rewards Program as part of its sales boosting initiative. Members will no longer have to enter the product codes while buying, thus making the shopping experience easier.
Moreover, other U.S. Kellogg brands are now participating in Kellogg’s Family Rewards. These brands comprise Pringles, Murray and Murray Sugar Free cookies, Kellogg’s Origins cereal, Keebler Ready Crusts pie crusts, and Cheez-It Crunch’D.
Kellogg’s Family Rewards Program is an important part of the company’s sales boosting strategy. It drives customer engagement with and loyalty toward the brands they buy. Per market research firm Nielsen, more than 60% of U.S. households base their purchase decisions on the loyalty programs offered by the company.
The research also reveals that customers find it difficult to redeem the points on their loyalty cards. This has been duly addressed by Kellogg’s loyalty program. The upgraded technology will link Kellogg’s Family Rewards with U.S. retailer frequent shopper cards and add the points to the respective cards, thereby eliminating the need for codes.
