A maker of affordable luxury handbags, accessories, footwear, and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff has enjoyed wide success distributing products through major retail chains such as Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. When the time came to select a company to establish and operate its first-ever consumer loyalty program for its online customer base in the United States, Rebecca Minkoff turned to leading loyalty and customer marketing provider Clutch. As part of its agreement with Rebecca Minkoff, Clutch will complete its comprehensive suite of high-tech services in two phases.

Phase one entails the design and setup of an online loyalty program which will allow visitors to Rebecca Minkoff's mobile and desktop websites to learn about the perks of the program and to enroll.

The firm will capture and analyze Rebecca Minkoff shopper data in real time in order to better understand individual loyalty program members and tailor loyalty program operations to meet their exact wants and needs.

In phase two of the consumer loyalty program process, Clutch will work closely with Rebecca Minkoff to expand its overall loyalty strategy initiatives, using insights from the live program to inform expansion and modifications.
