Its highly successful Money loyalty program, with 20 million members, illustrates Migros’ dedication to customer experience and its vision of becoming “the most beloved and valuable new-generation retailer in Turkey.”

Once a customer is enrolled in Migros Money, their next milestone is to join Migros Money Gold. Migros set out to design a customer journey to invite existing loyalty members to join Money Gold registration in a personalized and compelling way.
Migros employed SAS Customer Intelligence 360’s advanced analytics to automate and streamline the creation of personalized customer journeys, ensuring timely and targeted push notifications for each customer audience. With this solution, Migros was able to target the audience most likely to register for Migros Money Gold and send a series of timely and targeted push notifications.
The results:

Money Commercial Cards program
Migros wanted to take personalization even further for their customers and built it into product offerings. It introduced three targeted commercial cards, each designed to give unique benefits to specific types of consumers. The first is the Yacht Card, granted to individuals with a seaworthiness certificate. The second is the Hotel & Restaurant Card for businesses operating hotels or restaurants. Finally, the Service Card was created for individuals in building management.
Money rewards are automatically awarded to cardholders who spend above their monthly limits, and Migros wanted to create a personalized program to help a customer take advantage of all the unique benefits of their specific card.
To solve this, Migros began sending targeted multi-channel communication with real-time spending limits after each purchase to encourage its commercial customers to spend toward rewards. With SAS Customer Intelligence 360, Migros could build weekly journeys featuring enticing rewards to motivate customers who hadn’t made purchases since the beginning of the month.
The results:
- 23% of cardholders made first purchase because of campaign.
- Incremental sales grew 35%.

These programs are merely a glimpse into Migros’ strategy to create more targeted messaging, more meaningful customer engagement and sustained revenue growth.
Moving forward, Migros and the Partner Republic team will continue enhancing the digital customer experience with the tools in SAS Customer Intelligence 360 and a well-crafted customer engagement roadmap. Together, they plan to incorporate more personalized journeys for current Migros Money members that harness the wealth of data from past purchases, preferences and behavioral patterns. The programs will also include engaging web and app features and targeted acquisition journeys.
With these tools at its disposal, Migros is ready to continue its mission of being a beloved household brand with a new-generation approach to engaging its customers.
