Loylogic and Nescafé Dolce Gusto announce the launch of the CLUB rewards program in Brazil – a move which signals the partnership’s expanding global footprint and marks Loylogic’s entrance into the Latin American market. The CLUB rewards program has been designed to create direct relationships between Nescafé Dolce Gusto and its consumers across direct and indirect channels, fostering loyalty through rewards and personalization.  The program works by allowing Nescafé Dolce Gusto consumers to effortlessly scan their purchase of coffee capsules via a native brand app, and collect points that can be then redeemed in the CLUB rewards shop – powered by Pointshub, Loylogic’s industry leading points commerce solution. Users will get access to a curated selection of redemption options – sourced globally and locally – specifically selected to optimise customer engagement.
