Problem statement: how to retain international clients with gamification
SynerTrade is a global leading company. Find new ways to retain its clients which are key accounts in the Automative industry, Transportation, Bank, Retail or even Health Care is an everyday challenge.
The answer for SynerTrade was to create a new loyalty program named Synerclub using gamification features.
This program, solely reserved for SynerTrade’s customers who use SynerTrade’s suite of digital procurement solutions, Accelerate, is resolutely focused on customer satisfaction and sharing experiences.
SynerTrade clients can collect points, realizing testimonials about SynerTrade solutions with their network, market analysts or specialized press, all while acquiring benefits for their company.
Depending on the type of testimonials realized and cumulated points, SynerTrade clients can access different status level. The higher is the status, the easier it would be for the client to gain points and reach advantages.
There are three statuses: Red, Silver and Black.
