It's projected the manufacturing industry will adopt loyalty management to bolster its customer's experience from point of purchase to post-purchase services. "From our experience, almost all retailers who generate some kind of repeat business have the opportunity to boost their ROI and profitability by increasing the retention of their customers." said Chris Luo, VP of Marketing of Loyalty Technology company, FiveStars. "Loyalty programs are proven to increase customer lifetime value by up to 30% or more by increasing visit frequency, increasing spend per visit, and winning back lost customers."

Earlier this week, the Company announced that it, "has received a six-figure contract from a leading manufacturer of firearms, a new Snipp client.
