The popularity of rewards programmes among South Africans remains high, as many consumers look to find ways to stretch their pockets and make the most out of their everyday purchases.
In 2021, Truth & BrandMapp-South African Loyalty Whitepaper, reported an increase in South Africans using rewards programmes, this up to 74%.
This stemming from a pool of over 33,000 South Africans, with an income of more than R10,000 a month. The group also notes that, despite this representing a portion of the entire population, the percentage speaks to 100% of South Africa’s taxpayers.
As a result of this popularity, more and more South African brands are including rewards as part of their customer relations strategy.
