Jim: How has your company performed since March and what customer insights have you gleaned? Walgreens remains a trusted destination with caring team members and expert pharmacists, and customers continue to turn to Walgreens for their health, well-being and beauty needs, even in a pandemic.
Jim: Listening to your customers is a top priority. How has that changed, if at all, during the pandemic? We have gone from relying primarily on brand positioning and mass channels to expanding into digital, mobile, SMS, social media, influencer partnerships, content, etc.

This additional information will help shoppers see the point values quickly and will help both sales and program engagement.
Balance Rewards points have a set expiry period of three years, or 6 months of no transactions. This means that 3 years from the day you earned some points they will expire regardless of if you have been actively earning.
Here at Smile. A dynamic expiry date allows points to continue to be valid from the last time a point was earned or spent. A dynamic expiration period would ensure that customers are motivated to spend points, but will also avoid upset customers who have lost points for no good reason.
Walgreens has some restrictions on what your points can redeemed for, and unfortunately they are some of the most popular items that would be picked up at the retailer. Points cannot be redeemed for alcohol, dairy, stamps, tobacco, transportation passes, lottery tickets, and contact lenses.
Now I understand not rewarding points for vices like alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets. Dairy products, especially milk is one of the most popular items at any retailer that sells food. Combine that with the inability to use points for stamps and transportation passes, and you have created a bit of an inconvenience. I believe Walgreens should start to remove some of these restrictions.
At the very least they should allow shoppers to earn and spend points on dairy products, their customers would find that very helpful. Balance Rewards is one of the best examples of customer loyalty I have ever seen. It combines creative ways to earn with a variety of ways to collect. It also has one of the best explanations of a program I have ever seen. Graham said. Topics covered: retail tech, e-commerce, in-store operations, marketing, and more.
