  • Estimated initial 50%-250% return on investment
  • Increased retention — Due to the nature of the Nectar scheme, a customer who shops regularly with more than one partner company can gain points faster. This reduces the chances of disillusionment or fatigue.
  • More sophisticated offers — he points out that in many cases Tesco is spending several hundred pounds giving discounts to customers who would be loyal in any case.
  • "Overlap" — The collaboration increases the chance of attracting new customers, for example a frequent customer of a BP filling station who joins Nectar may be tempted into a nearby Sainsbury's where they otherwise would not shop (and vice versa) to gain rewards faster.
