Analyst Review
The global loyalty management systems are an integral part of loyalty programs.

Customer loyalty has become a popular phenomenon among businesses as retaining a customer cost less and offers cost-free publicity. The market for loyalty management is analyzed across three major segments including customer retention, customer loyalty, and channel loyalty. Channel loyalty is an emerging concept, which exclusively focuses on the improved relationship between a business and its channel partners.
