Discover tms’ latest whitepaper on loyalty in the GCC

Loyalty programs in the GCC are evolving, and brands must adapt to stay relevant. With increasing competition and changing customer expectations, understanding what drives loyalty has never been more important.  

At tms, we’ve been shaping global loyalty strategies for brands like T-Mobile Magenta, O2 Priority, and MyMcDonald’s Rewards, and our latest research provides key insights into how brands can evolve their loyalty programs to keep up with consumer demands. 

Building on our 2023 research in the US and UK, we partnered with Qualtrics to explore the loyalty landscape in the UAE, one of the GCC’s fastest-growing markets. Our study surveyed 489 loyalty customers across Generations X, Y, and Z, uncovering what influences their decisions to join, engage with, and stay loyal to brands. 

A new era of loyalty is emerging; brands must adapt if they wish to remain among the few programs customers are willing to join. The competition is fierce, and only those who innovate will thrive.
