Airline miles, hotel points, fast food stars—no matter what industry you’re in, loyalty programs play an important role. Taking your brand’s loyalty program from “earn and burn” to “true brand love” is no easy task, but this week’s guests from CKE Restaurants—the parent company of the beloved Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr. QSR brands—have built an impressive track record of brand love and loyalty.
Jason Seeley, Sr Director - Digital Strategy and Integrated Technology at CKE Restaurants, and Apryl Felver, Director of Loyalty and CRM, launched a revamped rewards program for CKE Restaurants in 2022, moving from concept to live in just nine months. Along the way, they learned directly from their consumers how to create a loyalty program that would exceed expectations and differentiate their brands with unique campaigns, including partnerships with Fandango for the recent release of Jurassic World: Dominion. While taking the burden off restaurant operators by expanding features in their digital properties, Jason and Apryl are also exploring how to enhance their on-premise loyalty experience.
