# Best Loyalty Management Software - Page 21

*By [Alanna Iwuh](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/alanna-iwuh)*


Loyalty management software helps businesses create, manage, and analyze customer loyalty programs. These products allow businesses to identify either repeat customers or potential repeat customers, and then send them incentives such as discounts or rewards points so they return to that business. Loyalty management software is primarily leveraged by business-to-consumer (B2C) companies in the retail, e-commerce, travel, and hospitality industries. Marketing teams in these organizations use loyalty management software to boost customer retention, maximize repeat sales, and increase customer lifetime value (CLV).

If a business is having difficulty finding its target audience or demographic, loyalty management tools can help a marketing team narrow down the search and test different methods of bringing customers back to the business. This type of software can be implemented as a standalone marketing tool, an API, or an add-on for an all-in-one marketing platform. Many loyalty management tools include features of or integrate with [email marketing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/email-marketing) or [marketing automation software](https://www.g2.com/categories/marketing-automation), making it easy to identify loyal customers and send them promotions or rewards. Loyalty management software also integrates with [e-commerce platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/e-commerce-platforms) and [POS software](https://www.g2.com/categories/pos).

To qualify for inclusion in the Loyalty Management category, a product must:

- Enroll valuable, loyal, or interested customers in a loyalty program
- Allow for the configuration of one or more loyalty programs such as point-based, spend-based, tiered, paid, etc.
- Provide tools to communicate with loyal customers and distribute discounts, cashback, or other rewards
- Capture customer data including purchase history, membership status, and engagement with the loyalty program
- Integrate with other marketing or commerce software
