Loyalty Marketing Ideas for September 2018

August 24, 2018 | Elaine Arnold

Summer is winding down, but keep your loyalty program hot with these fun loyalty marketing ideas for the month of September.

Highlights

  • Labor Day is Monday, September 3rd: Offer shoppers double points on bbq supplies or double points on any of your other labor day sale items. Take advantage of increased foot traffic to your stores during the long weekend with offers that encourage those shoppers to return. For example, give people who shop with you and spend over $50 a reward of $5 off their next visit during the month of September.
  • National Chicken Month: Offer customers 5 bonus points for adding chicken to their salad or for buying a rotisserie chicken from your deli.
  • National Self-Improvement Month: Give shoppers who purchase vitamins or healthy snack options a reward of $1 off their next purchase
  • National Little League Month: Give double points on cleats, bats, gloves, and other supplies for little league team members.

Try out these loyalty program offers through the rest of the month on marketing holidays that are relevant to your business. Here’s a list of other marketing holidays in September.
