Australian women take the lead when it comes to brand loyalty. New figures released from Stocard’s database of over 1.7 million Australian users revealed that females formed 66 per cent of customers within the nation’s top 10 most popular loyalty programs.
The data shows membership rates in Australian loyalty programs with active users. Women made up the majority of Flybuys and Woolworth Rewards members at 67 per cent and 65 per cent respectively, suggesting that women still dominate the grocery shopping sector.
Radinck van Vollenhoven, Country Manager of Stocard Australia said, “Australians visit a supermarket at least once, if not multiple times a week. The popularity of Flybuys and Woolworths Rewards emphasises why it is crucial for retailers to link mobile with the in-store experience. With digital connecting consumers and retailers more than ever before, bridging the gap between online and offline for retailers is key.”
What’s most interesting with the gender breakdown is the higher percentage of male users within liquor and airline loyalty programs – the top three being My Dan Murphy’s, Velocity Frequent Flyer and Qantas Frequent Flyer. This possibly suggests women value rewards programs for everyday requisites such as shopping for groceries and personal items, while men are more enticed by rewards programs for leisure activities.
