Within five years, Kudler opened two more stores and business could not be better.

The frequent shopper rewards program will keep its members updated on store promotions, sales, and events. Members of this program will also receive special offers and discounts to use at their store. The frequent shopper program focuses on rewarding returning customers by their spending habits and frequency of their purchases. Kudler partnered with a points program to provide their loyal customers with points that can be later redeemed for higher quality items that Kudler has to offer. With this program there are a number of possible issues that must be taken into consideration; legality, security, and ethical concerns. The first step Kudler must do is establish a rewards program for customers to evaluate the purchasing habits of customers.

Customers willing to share personal data will be protected in terms of privacy. The use of customer information for any other use not specified initially by the company may result in some form of legal action in relation to individual privacy and
