  • What are the opportunities and pitfalls? Where to get product and legal help?
  • Why is the subscription model not as prevalent as a premium offering by other verticals with established free loyalty programs?
  • Gamification is flagged as a key loyalty trend, who is doing it well?
  • Which loyalty programs do you think are best at encouraging future purchases as opposed to just rewarding past behaviour?
