Challenge

Harrods was keen to drive in-store customers towards their Harrods Rewards loyalty program, as they had found that members displayed greater loyalty to the store and a 6% higher spend than customers who hadn’t joined. The loyalty program also enhances their customers’ shopping experience, as they can earn points, redeemable as in-store or online discounts, with every purchase they make.

Solution

Harrods have been utilizing Purple since 2016 to provide guests with an on-brand and frictionless WiFi experience, gathering rich demographic information on their visitors with many of them opting into marketing communications at the same time. Through this process, Harrods has amassed a customer database of more than 3.6 million contacts which they regularly use to re-engage and re-market, driving online purchases.

Additionally, in order to promote the program more widely, Harrods made use of the WiFi splash page, where customers sign in to get access to connectivity, to both raise awareness as well as test for interest by asking a custom question: “Would you be interested in becoming a Harrods Rewards member?”

Those that answered affirmatively were then redirected to a Harrods Rewards sign-up page, where the information they had already provided during WiFi sign-up was automatically added in order to remove any barriers and make the process as seamless as possible.
