Spring 2022
Spring – and more specifically, landscaping season – represents Bradfords’ most important commercial moment of the calendar year.
Bradvantage
As a business trusted by trades since 1770, and in a COVID world where, more than ever, customers expected to be rewarded for their loyalty, Bradfords’ rewards scheme was falling short. Although the commercial potential was massive, many of our hugely important and engaged base of loyal members were either not seeing enough of a benefit from their loyalty, confused by the scheme mechanics, interacting with the scheme once a year (at best), or frankly starting to see better elsewhere.
We needed to act quickly and decisively to address a fundamental shift in how we wanted our loyal customers to think.
‘From rewards I receive’ to ‘Membership I participate in and benefit from’
