Bebuzzd, a leading loyalty program provider based in Dubai, has announced the release of the latest version of Bebuzzd, a multi-store digital loyalty program, which is available for download on app stores. The mobile applicatio­n will provide local SMEs the advantage of further enhancing their customer experience­s and reinforcin­g consumer-business ties. The updated loyalty app, which allows consumers to earn points and redeem rewards from their favourite outlets, now presents itself with new and improved features such as easier navigation, faster searching and a better design.

The release of the newest version is expected to draw in more users as hundreds of outlets have now joined the Bebuzzd bandwagon. Furthermor­e, everything customers have wanted to know about their favourite businesses can be found in the Bebuzzd app. Recent industry reports have indicated that retailers and other businesses have demonstrat­ed continued confidence in a brighter 2017, expecting to drive in key growth and revenue. In line with this, Bebuzzd has now shifted into a more material design model, driven by the objective of enhancing customers' experience with value additions that will ensure customer loyalty at high levels.

The new 3.0 version has been made more user friendly based on feedback received. One new element added to the app is the ability to remotely join offered loyalty programs and adding it to a set preferred list, which allows users to get easily notified on special offers from their favourite outlets. Another innovative feature is the 'Try me offer' section-designed to attract new customers via the invite to experience participat­ing outlets. In addition, the categoriza­tion of merchants has also been included to allow for easy searching by users.

"We are very proud to announce the release of Bebuzzd 3.0 version. The launch complement­s our commitment to provide our users with offers that will ensure loyalty to our participat­ing businesses. With the wide array of new and exciting offers, we can surely say that Bebuzzd has now advanced to the next level," said Shan Abdul Salam, CTO, Bebuzzd. "The main objective of this updated version is to enhance the customer experience and consolidat­e relationsh­ips with their preferred outlets. We want to help SME businesses in the UAE to engage with each of their customers for their own unique experience with individual­ized incentives."

According to Bebuzzd senior executives, participat­ing outlets have now been sorted distance wise so that customers can see nearby businesses, offering loyalty programs and try-me-offers. Users will find it very easy to navigate through the new app and be a part of their regularly visited or favorite outlets. Brands will also benefit as the customer can now join their loyalty program even without visiting the outlet.

With key milestones and behavior change thresholds defined, the Bebuzzd loyalty program can offer specific rewards to customers to motivate long-term loyalty and deepen engagement. Brands and marketers can also use their data to quantitati­vely determine which customers are the best ones by looking at recent activities, frequency and spend metrics and targeting accordingl­y. The new app is now available for download for both IOS and Android platforms.
