This investigation examines consumers' preferred loyalty program (LP) designs across two retail contexts, grocery retailing and perfumery, with varying degrees of personal involvement. The research employs in-store full profile conjoint analysis by using the following attributes: timing of the reward, reward compatibility with the store's image, and tangibility.
