From the outset, Optical Discount has built its business on an innovative concept: selling leading brands at discount prices.<\/p>\n<p>Extremely popular with consumers for its low-price range of major optical brands, Optical Discount also seeks to breed loyalty and foster close customer relationships to offer them more and increase sales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A clear objective: a closer customer relationship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In January, Optical Discount rolled out its FIDELI loyalty card with the aid of ADELYA\u2019s Loyalty Operator platform. With this new loyalty card, Optical Discount has provided its mixed network of branches and franchises with an integrated loyalty solution that is easy to use and available as a pay-per-use SaaS service, creating a closer tie between opticians and customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cADELYA\u2019s loyalty solution offers the ease of use, flexibility, speed and innovation that our mixed network requires with a loyalty card that achieves real differentiation,\u201d explain St\u00e9phane Laloum and Gilles Meridgen, Optical Discount\u2019s Co-CEOs. \u201cToday, we are the only opticians offering a point-based loyalty system backed by a gift catalogue. Our loyalty strategy is aligned with our concept of bringing more to consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Optical Discount chose ADELYA Loyalty Operator<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Designed for the point of sale, ADELYA\u2019s Loyalty Operator platform was a good fit for Optical Discount\u2019s requirements:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong> Unique:<\/strong> branches and franchises access the same loyalty platform while managing their customer database locally. So Optical Discount can build up a centralized baseline customer database.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Flexible<\/strong>: the loyalty service supports all types of rules. With FIDELI, Optical Discount offers a family card covering all family purchases of eyeglasses and sunglasses. Loyalty points can be redeemed as gifts or coupons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Integrated<\/strong>: the ADELYA solution allows each point of sale to accumulate loyalty points. Opticians are therefore free to instill their own interactive relationship with each customer and reward loyalty for each purchase.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Affordable<\/strong>: the loyalty service is available as a pay-per-use SaaS service at minimal cost to the point of sale. &#8211; Web-based: hosted in the cloud, the loyalty system is quick and easy to roll out with telephone support. The solution was up and running at all Optical Discount branches in less than two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<strong> Innovative<\/strong>: the ADELYA loyalty service supports both traditional loyalty cards and NFC mobile phones.<\/p>\n<p><em> \u201cAs well as offering a good fit between our products and requirements, ADELYA listen to our needs. They oversaw the roll-out of our loyalty system from A to Z. Everything was done remotely, quickly and easily. Our points of sale are very satisfied,\u201d says Siem Baghdadi, Optical Discount\u2019s Network Manager. \u201cWhat\u2019s more, in the future ADELYA\u2019s solution will allow our customers with NFC mobile phones to accumulate points and benefits from their mobile loyalty wallet.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn the optical market, it\u2019s fundamental for opticians to instill a relationship of trust with each customer, because the product they\u2019re selling is so specific. Eyeglasses are a very personal thing,\u201d says ADELYA President Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Novak. \u201cWe are delighted to be helping Optical Discount stores to create a closer relationship with their customers. Thanks to the FIDELI NFC card, the customer is made to feel important and can introduce the brand, its values and services to the rest of the family.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Adelya_OPTICAL_DISCOUNT_EN.pdf\" rel=\"\">Download this press release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With FIDELI, Optical Discount sets out its clear vision for an NFC loyalty card enabling customers to accumulate loyalty points, gifts and promotional offers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25856,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25221"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25222,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25221\/revisions\/25222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25856"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/adelya.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
