Coffee shops in Asia utilise social media to boost customer loyalty

Digital platforms are particularly effective with younger consumers.

Coffee shops in Asia are increasingly using social media to enhance customer loyalty as consumer preferences evolve, GlobalData reported.

Digital platforms are particularly effective with younger consumers, who favour personalised marketing and interactive engagement. 

The report said that these strategies can drive repeat visits and strengthen brand loyalty in a competitive market.

“Social media activism not only streamlines in-store visits but also keeps customers informed about special offers and new products,” said Parthasaradhi Reddy, consumer lead analyst at GlobalData. “Encouraging customer interaction through social media, such as asking for feedback or running polls, can make customers feel involved and valued.”

“Implementing a robust loyalty program that ties into social media can significantly enhance customer retention,” added Deepak Nautiyal, consumer and retail commercial director for APAC and ME at GlobalData.

Nautiyal also pointed out that consumers in Asia are drawn to brands that demonstrate social responsibility. “They prefer businesses that align with their values, which often include social inclusion and environmental sustainability.” 

Citing a GlobalData survey, he noted that 82% of consumers are influenced by how well products or services cater to their needs and preferences.
