Brands across the industry, from the highest echelons of luxury (LVMH is the event’s premium partner) to mass-market players (Gap-owned Athleta is the “dry land” sponsor of Team USA swimmer Katie Ledecky) are aligning themselves with the 2024 Games in Paris in hopes of capturing some of that Olympic shine for themselves. The Olympics have always been a playground for large brands with deep marketing budgets, like sportswear giants like Nike or adidas or the homegrown labels like American fashion giant Ralph Lauren. They will still have a major presence at this year’s Olympics, but so will companies like Left on Friday, the direct-to-consumer swimwear company, which is outfitting Canada’s beach volleyball team in one-shouldered bikinis, and Actively Black, a three-year-old Black-owned athleisure label that is dressing Team Nigeria. Plus, countless labels are engaging in Olympic-centric advertising: enlisting Olympic athletes as ambassadors, rolling out special product collections, hosting events and more. The Olympics’ appeal is about more than its status as one of the last vestiges of monoculture. Though that shouldn’t be discounted: these will be the first games free of pandemic-era restrictions; millions of visitors are expected to spend an estimated €2.6 billion ($2.8 billion).

Once seen as simple rewards systems designed to offer customers added incentive for making repeat purchases, loyalty programmes have become central to business models not just for airlines, credit cards and coffee but for beauty and fashion as well. The digital era has allowed loyalty programmes to become more complicated and connected than ever. What was once a simple physical punch card for a free drink has evolved into the Starbucks Rewards app, an intricate system of tiers and points for various products and other perks. Customer loyalty has evolved at the same time — and not necessarily to the benefit of brands. PwC has found that Gen-Z is the group most likely to try new brands and stop shopping at those it used to purchase from. BoF's latest case study covers how to launch, run and grow a loyalty programme in beauty and fashion, looking at what drives sales, online buzz, membership growth and repeat customers. https://lnkd.in/eX-xQH-K ✍️ Liz Flora
