Marketwired
The Futura Loyalty Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE: FUT) (the "Company")
today announced it has executed a loyalty and marketing services
agreement with OK Tire Stores Inc, the largest independently owned
tire franchise in Canada representing over 270 locations, to launch
the Aeroplan Loyalty Program beginning April 5, 2010.
Under this new agreement, Aeroplan Members will be able to earn
1 Aeroplan Mile per $2 spent on all tire and wheel purchases and 1
Aeroplan Mile for every $1 spent on parts, labour & mechanical
services offered by OK Tire.
"OK Tire demonstrates the power of a strong dealer owned and
operated group of franchisees banding together to offer superior
services to its customers." commented Mark Farrell, President and
CEO of The Futura Loyalty Group. "OK Tire ranked highest in
customer satisfaction on the J.D. Power and Associates 2008
Canadian Customer Commitment Index Study so they clearly understand
the value of customer loyalty and the addition of the Aeroplan
brand will enhance the arsenal of customer satisfaction tools
available to dealers."
Futura has a proven and flexible product for businesses
interested in loyalty program solutions, providing ongoing tracking
of transactions for them. This data allows merchants to effectively
measure return on investment for their marketing dollars.
OK Tire represents the first national franchise organization
signed by Futura, a significant milestone that builds on Futura's
demonstrated experience in successfully launching a number of
regional franchised base retailers, resolving all point-of-sale
integration and data agglomeration issues that franchised based
retailers typically face.
"We have been looking for the right fit to build on the benefits
offered to our customers and we believe that offering access to the
Aeroplan brand and valuable currency will resonate well with
customers and dealers alike," commented Greg Sims, President and
CEO of OK Tire. "We are also impressed with Futura's data reporting
capabilities that will help us truly understand our customers and
enable us to continue to enhance our service levels."
