In
east and southeast Asia, too, it works this way and, in fact, Asian
grocery chains in the US have loyalty programs that work in this manner.
The most common reward is spend $15 and get a free packet of
biscuits/cookies (I often opt for Rich Tea or Hobnobs which, for some
reason, are most easily found in Asian groceries in the US), and $25 for
a bottle of fish, soy or oyster sauce. The rewards for things between
$25 and $200 vary store to store, but the $200 reward is always a
100lb/45kg sack of rice and somewhere in the middle is usually a huge
tin of French-style biscuits/cookies.
Asian groceries, though,
usually don't have 'roll-over' purchases so if a customer makes $10
worth of purchases every day for a month, s/he will never receive the
rewards therefore the reward must be earned on a single shopping
receipt. For this reason, many Asian groceries in the US have customers
with their trolleys/carriages/carts full to the brim spending easily
several hundred dollars in one go and storing their purchases in a large
freezer at home so as they do not spoil before use. |
