Social Rewards Programs

Lancome's Elite Rewards Engage Consumers Across Social Media

— March 24, 2017 — Marketing
Lancome's Elite Rewards program goes above and beyond rewarding consumers for purchasing its product. The unique loyalty program boasts three different kinds of ways that consumers may be rewarded when they Shop, Share or Connect.

Beyond earning points for connecting with Lancome and sharing favorite product finds on social media, Elite Rewards members also have another way to earn points. When shopping at stores and websites where Lancome products are sold, they are eligible to earn 10 points for every dollar spent. While loyalty programs often solely put their focus on rewarding consumers for purchasing from a specific brand, this rewards incentive encourages consumers to frequent places where Lancome is sold.

When it comes to redeeming points, Lancome customers may choose to receive either more of their favorite products or treat themselves to exclusive experiences such as spa visits, private beauty consultations and more.
