Let’s talk Sirius

Sirius, the Recognition and Rewards programme from Jumeirah are a respected and leading player in the Hospitality loyalty game. We wanted to build on their very generous rewards and privileges and engage on a more personal and added value way.

In order to do this we have recently launched a suite of new comms going out to targeted segments of the base:

Sirius Delights focuses on the Dubai dinning market specifically. From our research our insight was yes offers are important, but actually reviews and recommendations are what really make people decide where to go. We connected this insight with the fantastic reputation Jumeirah restaurants have, and have actually embedded 3rd party review links into the communication. It’s open, honest and cuts out the time finding out whether the restaurant with the great offer is any good.

An additional clever feature we included was super personalisation – so that from a redemption perspective each individual member can see whether they can redeem instantly or how many Sirius Points they will need to get that reward.

Initial results have shown considerable revenue and footfall increases in Sirius business units.

Here it is shown on an i pad because it’s cool.

Sirius Travels is a different kettle of fish. The objective here is to build a long-term relationship with Jumeirah’s overseas members. Firstly we have to convince the recipient to come to Dubai, London or New York. Once achieved we need to make sure it’s with Juemriah that they stay. Editorially led with cool what’s going on widgets and 3rd party links to sell the ‘big 3′.

Results show a marked increase in click-throughs to specific stay packages and overseas booking information.

Sirius Statement does exactly what it says on the tin – but further than this moving forward plans to hyper personalise – offering members redeemable rewards which are affordable based on their Sirius Points balance, but also appealing based on profile and spend habits.

Learn your landscape – 2 quick tips

Finding out information about your brand’s social landscape is as easy as one, two, click. It still amazes me the sheer number of sources of information online that can help paint a picture of your social media audience, and the landscape which they operate within.

Twitter search

www.search.twitter.com allows you to search by what people are talking about. This tool is incredibly useful to find out if people are talking about your brand, product or service online, but also to see what their views are.

People will be a lot more honest when talking with their friends or peers than in any type of customer satisfaction survey. Don’t forget you can also gain valuable insight to your competitors too.

Facebook advertising

Through using www.facebook.com/ads/create/ one can create a fake ad (which will never see the light of day), and then look at an audience to profile. Profile filter by country, age, gender, education and so on – but more importantly by keyword. So therefore you can easily find out an estimate of how many people in your region, on facebook, are interested in specific topics that may be relevant to your brand or latest campaign.

It’s pretty interesting stuff and a great source for insight!
