Village Cinemas loyalty members will receive more benefits than ever before, with an all new loyalty club program launched on March 23. Movio, the global leader in marketing data analytics and campaign management software for cinema exhibitors, film distributors and studios around the world, worked with the Australian-¬‐based cinema exhibitor to refine and relaunch its Vrewards program.
“The relaunch of the Vrewards program is a fantastic example of how customer data can help improve an existing strategy. The insights we were able to generate from Village’s customer base, provided critical information to refine the loyalty program in order to meet both customer expectations and business objectives. I am confident that the new Vrewards program will be hugely successful.,” Sarah Lewthwaite, Managing Director & Senior Vice President for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and part of the Movio Experts roster of industry thought leaders commented.
“After surveying and rigorous feedback sessions covering in excess of 15,000 customers, it became clear to us that an effective reward program ought to offer more choice, control and flexibility in what you value, whether it is at the ticket box, Candy Bar or within Gold Class. We are constantly looking for innovative concepts to reward our members. With the introduction of concepts such as Gold Class, Vjunior and VPremium, guests can choose how they experience their film. We thought that they deserve the same amount of freedom to choose their rewards, and make the most of what Village Cinemas has to offer.” Mohit Bhargava, General Manager of Sales & Marketing at Village Cinemas commented.
Mr. Bhargava explained that now members will be rewarded with 10 points for each dollar spent at Village Cinemas. Points can be redeemed wherever guests see the most value, whether it be at the candy bar, ticket box, or upgrading to a Gold Class session, starting with a FREE small popcorn at just 500 points.
