Cause-related loyalty marketing is a growing trend in cause marketing. It combines cause-related marketing and loyalty programs to create a powerful partnership.
Instead of asking for direct financial contributions, it taps into the reward points or miles that loyalty program members have accumulated. Customers then can redeem their points into charitable causes provided by the company on the reward catalog.
This way, customers have the opportunity to make a positive difference by utilizing their earned loyalty points, contributing to the causes that hold personal significance to them.
How It Works?
The process of implementing a cause-related marketing campaign within an existing loyalty program involves the utilization of a business-to-business technology platform, supporting a user-friendly consumer-facing website or app where customers can actively participate.
Additionally, the reward catalog can be seamlessly integrated, providing a selection of charitable organizations for customers to support by redeeming their loyalty points.

By purchasing the (STARBUCKS)RED products, customers were not only able to enjoy their favorite Starbucks beverages in unique, specially designed items, but they were also directly contributing to the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.
