Ive been thinking about brands that offer the exact same service, and how well loyalty programs do or do not work for them. For instance, when it comes to flying, I think most frequent travelers have a strong airline affinity as the loyalty programs become quite valuable. However, when it comes to ride share apps (Uber/Lyft/etc…) it seems that decisions are made based on availability and cost, as opposed to loyalty programs.

What do you think… do you choose Uber/Lyft one way or the other?

I think hotels is another one kind of like airlines where people have a strong loyalty to one or another. Like Marriott versus Hilton. I'm a Marriott person, so I will go out of my way to make sure I stay at one of their properties so I can get points

Great point! I feel like with ride-share apps, I mainly go for the one that’s cheaper or closer at the moment. While loyalty programs like Uber's rewards are nice, they don't outweigh convenience or cost for me. But for airlines, I’m definitely loyal because the points actually help with upgrades!

i usually price check between uber and lyft if i have the time, but i did get free lyft pink from one of my credit cards. i liked the service so much that i signed up for a discounted 2nd year. for whatever reason i like lyft a lot more - the UI, the drivers cars seem slightly better, and with pink the cost is usually on par or less than uber. i also like that they operate the citi bikes so those are free/discounted with pink.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.
