Customer loyalty marketing is not typically what owners of small and medium businesses say is their primary marketing focus. More typically you see that they focus on activities around customer acquisition. As a result, you see money pouring into things like print and TV advertising or even Google or Facebook advertising and daily deals.

2. Loyalty incentives can lift customer visits on average by 12 to 44 percent.
