		<description><![CDATA[Great article. Apart from your ideas, loyalty programs are going to get smarter too. While retailers end up spending large amounts creating and executing elaborate loyalty programs and promotional campaigns, the response may be disappointing. Accurate knowledge of customers who are more likely to buy the second time can help retailers focus their efforts on this concentrated target group and derive higher benefits from promotions and loyalty marketing. This can be done through RFM model analytics which measures the recency, frequency and monetary value of the purchases to identify loyal customers.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comments, Bob.  Agreed that Stratos is totally on-brand for Red Bull -- extreme sports in general are in their wheelhouse, and a unique record-setting stunt like Stratos is the pinnacle of exclusivity.

The key for me is that brands like Red Bull who really know their market just &#039;get&#039; what it takes to keep consumers engaged.  This is a significant undertaking that simply wouldn&#039;t be possible for many brands.  But for those where it does make sense, I see more Stratos-like original content investments on the horizon.]]></description>
