Rebecca Minkoff Partners with Clutch on First-Ever Loyalty Program

The leading fashion brand turns to Clutch to launch and manage a brand new loyalty program for online customers

AMBLER, Pa.--()--A maker of affordable luxury handbags, accessories, footwear, and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff has enjoyed wide success distributing products through major retail chains such as Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. When the time came to select a company to establish and operate its first-ever consumer loyalty program for its online customer base in the United States, Rebecca Minkoff turned to leading loyalty and customer marketing provider Clutch. As part of its agreement with Rebecca Minkoff, Clutch will complete its comprehensive suite of high-tech services in two phases.

Phase one entails the design and setup of an online loyalty program which will allow visitors to Rebecca Minkoff’s mobile and desktop websites to learn about the perks of the program and to enroll. From introducing the loyalty program and capturing new signups to managing consumer communications and issuing accrued consumer rewards, Clutch will handle all facets of program membership and operations. The firm will capture and analyze Rebecca Minkoff shopper data in real time in order to better understand individual loyalty program members and tailor loyalty program operations to meet their exact wants and needs.

In phase two of the consumer loyalty program process, Clutch will work closely with Rebecca Minkoff to expand its overall loyalty strategy initiatives, using insights from the live program to inform expansion and modifications. In addition to developing new online elements to help keep shoppers engaged and motivated, Clutch and Rebecca Minkoff will likely expand their existing loyalty program to incorporate the large numbers of offline shoppers at their brick and mortar store locations.

Rebecca Minkoff is known in the industry for embracing innovative ideas in the realm of retail. The brand ultimately partnered with Clutch as part of its effort to leverage all that modern technology can bring to the customer/retailer relationship.
