Introduction
Kudler Fine Foods was first established in 1998 by Kathy Kudler in the San Diego, California metropolitan area (Kudler’s Fine Foods (2004). Today there are three locations, the first location to open in 1998 was La Jolla, second to open in 2000 was Del Mar, and third to open in 2003 was Encinitas. Each 8,000 square foot store is stocked with the very best domestic and imported foods and wines. Kudler prides itself on using the finest and freshest organic ingredients, which they purchase from local organic farmers.
Project Scope
Kudler Fine Foods’ new Frequent Shopper Program is a loyalty point program, Point-of-Sale (POS), which tracks customer purchases awarding loyalty points to customers by providing valuable incentives that can be redeemed through the rewards program on products or services’.
Price is not the primary objective for Kudler’s customers, their main focus for shopping at Kudler Fine Foods is the quality and specialized products that are not found at other stores, which is why the new loyalty program does not provide daily discounts. The basis of the loyalty program is to use the rates of each customer who returns to shop at Kudler Fine Foods and how much money is spent at each visit on specific products. Kudler Fine Foods loyalty program points can be saved and redeemed for the high end incentives Kudler’s is providing such as first-class airline upgrades, specialty foods, etc.
The loyalty program is an electronic database that monitors, records, stores, and reports customer purchases that retain to the loyalty program. Kudler Fine Foods benefits in the ability to track customers frequently purchased products through the generation of reports showing new or seasonal product trends allowing for a prediction in future purchases throughout the year, which all increase revenue and sales.
