This week's episode of the "Wiser Loyalty" podcast series explores an advisory-led course from the Loyalty Academy™ curriculum, Key Success Factors in Loyalty Marketing (course #112). Our hosts today are ⁠⁠Bill Hanifin⁠ and Aaron Dauphinee from the Loyalty Academy faculty.

In this episode, Bill and Aaron discuss a key component to creating successful customer loyalty from your rewards program – the speed at which members accumulate enough points to be able to redeem for rewards is the earn velocity.  It is a critical factor that brands want to forecast, monitor, and then manage as an easy metric of program health.
