This successful approach has resulted in a program in which millions of coffee (and even non-coffee) lovers participate.

Included in this loyalty program are reward points for purchases, level-up-based activities, and challenges that customers can complete for exclusive rewards.
For customers, Starbucks’s loyalty program is a fun, engaging experience that allows them to gain exclusive rewards and incentives—not to mention the sense of community and fulfillment. they can enjoy once they achieve a certain level in the program. For Starbucks, on the other hand, the program is an intricately designed winning marketing strategy that drove their customer retention rate to 44%—a number that is significantly higher than the industry average of 25%.
