Top Quotes:

“...a good metric, if you're starting off, is to aim for 10% participation rate. So one in every 10 people who walks in, they should be a loyalty member. If you can get to 20, 25%, you're in great shape, because that means one in every four or every five is a loyalty member. … really successful programs have like 40, 50, 60% participation,” say Diane and Olga.
