Credico UK Review Pret A Manger's New Customer Loyalty Campaign

    CHESTER, ENGLAND, April 30, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Chief Executive of successful sandwich chain Pret A Manger has revealed the sociable secret of how to get served a free coffee. Clive Schlee has given Pret A Manger's staff the power to hand out free drinks or food to the customers they like the best. In a statement to the Standard, Clive Schlee stated: 'we looked at loyalty cards but we didn't want to spend all that money building up some complicated Clubcard-style analysis' (Standard.co.uk 23rd April 2015). The staff at Pret A Manger has to give away a certain number of hot drinks and food every week which results in 28% of people receiving an item for free.

This fresh method, which disregards the use of loyalty cards can enhance brand loyalty because customers will be more inclined to buy from the sandwich shop if they know that they have a chance of getting a free coffee or croissant, claims Credico UK. It will also encourage more customers to be friendly to the staff, because by being friendly it obviously increases their chance of being rewarded with a free item. It is well documented that customers are motivated by any promotional campaigns when it is deemed that there is something extra in it for them too.

Pret a Manger has 374 sites worldwide; 288 outlets in the UK with 160 in London and now their first site in Shanghai. Pret A Manger has revealed their sales jumped 16% last year to GBP 594 million, with pre-tax profits rising 14% to GBP 76 million.
