8. Insightful interactions,
maximum results
Member Experience
• Integrates with real-time
consumer data for enhanced
customer insight
• Includes a complete history
of brand interactions across
all touch points
• Calculates outcomes
instantly and responds to
customers automatically
• Offers flexibility in defining
outcomes: promotional
currency, tier upgrades,
certificates, messages, and
more
• Delivers highly personalized
content and targeted offers
via email, SMS, and
mobile push
One of the most important features of a successful
loyalty marketing solution is the ability to reward
customer behavior with timely and engaging
experiences. Agility Loyalty makes that possible by
providing a comprehensive view of the customer’s
interactions with your brand, and enhances the
view with real-time data integration and enrichment
via Epsilon’s TotalSourcePlus® consumer database.
That insight is complimented with a groundbreaking
marketing engine that enables you to reward
customers automatically based on purchase
activity, inferred behavior, social interactions, and
more, using rules and outcomes that you define.
Agility Loyalty helps operationalize your customer
service interactions beyond the frontlines, for both
members and non-members.
Agility Loyalty empowers you to direct a customer’s
journey from acquisition to brand advocacy. You can
reward wanted behavior with points, tier upgrades,
certificates and more, based on identified paths or
informed recommendations from Agility Loyalty’s
marketing engine. That’s because Agility Loyalty
has the capacity to learn from events along the
customer journey, and uses that data to make its
own customer engagement decisions in the future.
The result is smarter, more personalized, and more
profitable interactions over time.
Best of all, these interactions are enriched with
real-time offers and dynamic content thanks
to integration with Epsilon’s Agility HarmonyTM
solution. Agility Harmony is our next-generation
digital messaging platform that enables you to
deliver highly personalized messages in email, SMS,
and mobile push. The combined solution lets you
customize interactions based on the customer’s
preferences, transaction history, online behavior,
and more, and respond in real time with relevant
offers and content across virtually any touch point.

Customer Relationship
Management
Agility Loyalty recognizes the critical role that
your customer associates play in building brand
loyalty, both online and in person. For that reason,
the platform’s member management module is
designed to empower in-store and call center
associates with the insight and means to provide
the best possible service. The module provides
associates and customers with a comprehensive
view of their brand experience, including a complete
history of interactions across all touch points.
And because it features a robust, user-friendly
responsive design interface, the information can
be accessed via tablet, smartphone, desktop, web
kiosk, or any browser-enabled device.
At the same time, Agility Loyalty empowers your
associates with the ability to impact the customer
experience. For example, the platform provides
permission-based flexibility for associates to give
awards in specific situations, including processing
non-points earning transactions or making
adjustments for missing transactions or customer
service fulfillment.
> Gives the customer access
to profile information, status,
and offers

and give awards based on
permissions
> Provides control mechanisms
for points accrual and
adjustment limits
> Enables award re-issuance
and management of returns
and expired awards
> Identifies and prevents
redemption of duplicate
awards
