Loyalty programs are marketing strategies that aim to reward customers who buy more, creating a sense of loyalty and brand loyalty.

Points-based loyalty programs. In these programs, the more money a customer spends, the more points they earn. They can then redeem these points for rewards, discounts, or benefits.

Membership-based loyalty programs. These programs typically have an annual fee that allows users to receive additional benefits such as free shipping, discounts, etc.
