Businesses and loyalty programs making the list of finalists this year are using technology and empathy to stand out from their competitors.
Examination of the entries for the Loyalty Magazine Awards 2019 shows that use of automation, and especially artificial intelligence to streamline interactions is prevalent. There is also recognition that a personalized approach is likely to win with customers.
